Your property looks maintained without you having to think about it. Grass stays at the right height, edges stay clean, and you’re not scrambling to find someone reliable every few weeks when it gets out of hand.
Consistency matters because grass grows on a schedule, not yours. Miss a mowing and you’re dealing with overgrown grass that’s harder to cut properly. When grass gets too long, cutting it back to proper height all at once shocks the plants and leaves your lawn looking patchy and stressed.
Regular professional lawn mowing in West Glens Falls means your property value stays protected. A well-maintained lawn isn’t just about looks—it’s about preventing the kind of neglect that turns into bigger problems. Weeds take over when grass gets weak. Pests move in when conditions are right. You avoid all that when someone shows up consistently and does the work correctly.
We started as a logging business and moved into full-time excavation and property services. We know the soil here. We know how the weather affects your property across the seasons. We know what works in Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties because we’ve been doing this work locally for nearly three decades.
Josh is on almost every job. That’s not marketing talk—it’s how we operate. When you’re a family business, your reputation is everything. We’re not trying to scale into some massive operation where you never see the same crew twice.
You’re probably already dealing with enough contractors who don’t show up when they say they will or who do half the job and disappear. We’re not interested in being that company. If we say we’ll be there, we’re there. If we’re running into weather delays, you’ll know about it before you have to call us.
You reach out for an estimate. We come look at your property, measure what we’re working with, and give you a clear price. No hidden fees, no surprises later. You know exactly what you’re paying before any work starts.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we get you on the schedule. Most homeowners in West Glens Falls pay between $30 and $85 per visit depending on property size and conditions. Frequency matters too—weekly cuts during peak growing season keep your lawn healthier than trying to catch up every few weeks.
We show up with properly maintained equipment, cut your grass to the right height for the season, handle the edges, and make sure the property looks clean when we leave. The job isn’t finished until the site is ready. That’s part of the service, not an extra.
If we notice something—irrigation issue, developing disease, pest problem—we bring it to your attention. You’re not paying us to ignore problems that’ll cost you more later. We’d rather have a two-minute conversation now than watch your lawn deteriorate because nobody said anything.

Grass cutting to proper seasonal height. That changes throughout the year—cutting too short in summer stresses the grass during heat, but leaving it too long going into fall creates problems with matting and disease. We adjust based on what your lawn actually needs, not what’s fastest.
Edge trimming along walkways, driveways, and landscape beds. Uneven edges make even a freshly cut lawn look sloppy. Clean edges make the difference between a property that looks maintained and one that looks neglected.
Site cleanup after every visit. Grass clippings get managed properly—either mulched back into the lawn where they add nutrients, or removed if conditions call for it. You shouldn’t have clumps of wet grass sitting on your lawn creating dead spots.
New York lawns need about an inch of water per week. If you’re irrigating, early morning between 4 and 8 a.m. is best—gives the grass time to dry in morning sun and reduces disease risk. We can’t control when you water, but we’ll tell you if we’re seeing signs that your lawn isn’t getting what it needs.
The NYS Nutrient Runoff Law prohibits fertilizing between December 1 and April 1. If you’re handling your own fertilization, that’s something to know. If you want to talk about what your lawn needs across the seasons, we can walk through that during the estimate.
Weekly during peak growing season, which typically runs May through early July in this area. Grass grows fastest when temperatures are moderate and rainfall is consistent. If you’re only cutting every two weeks during that window, you’re letting grass get too long and then shocking it by removing too much height at once.
Late summer you can sometimes stretch to every 10 days if growth slows during heat and dry spells. Early fall usually picks back up with cooler temperatures and you’re back to weekly cuts. By late October into November, you’re usually done for the season depending on weather.
The one-third rule matters here: never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single cutting. When you let grass get too tall between cuts, you violate that rule and stress the plants. Stressed grass is weak grass, and weak grass lets weeds move in.
Most residential properties in West Glens Falls run between $30 and $85 per visit. The national average sits around $48-50 per mow, and local pricing tends to track close to that depending on your specific property.
Lot size is the biggest factor. A quarter-acre lot with minimal obstacles takes less time than a half-acre property with landscape beds, trees, and slope. Terrain matters too—flat, open grass is straightforward, but if we’re navigating hills, tight spaces, or areas that need extra trimming work, that affects pricing.
More frequent service gets you better rates. Weekly mowing costs less per visit than bi-weekly because the grass is easier to manage and the job goes faster. Annual contracts typically include bigger discounts because you’re committing to consistent work throughout the season. We’d rather lock in reliable customers at a fair rate than chase one-off jobs at premium pricing.
We handle excavation, site prep, driveways, septic installations, and general property work in addition to lawn mowing. That’s actually an advantage for you if you’re building, renovating, or dealing with property issues that go beyond just grass cutting.
A lot of our lawn mowing clients are existing excavation customers who’d rather work with one company they already trust than bring in someone new. If we prepped your site or installed your driveway, we already know your property. We know the drainage patterns, the soil conditions, where the challenges are.
You’re not managing multiple contractors with different schedules and communication styles. You’ve got one point of contact for property work. If something comes up during mowing—drainage issue, erosion starting, area that needs attention—we can handle it or at least give you a realistic assessment of what you’re dealing with. Most lawn-only companies can’t do that.
We reschedule and let you know before you have to call us. Weather affects this work—you can’t cut grass properly when it’s soaking wet, and trying to mow in heavy rain just tears up your lawn and makes a mess.
Realistic scheduling means we build in contingency time during unpredictable weather periods. Spring in upstate New York can be wet. We’re not going to promise we’ll be there Tuesday at 9 a.m. no matter what if Tuesday brings two inches of rain overnight. But we will communicate what’s happening and when we’ll be there instead.
Most weather delays push service back by a day or two at most. If we’re looking at an extended wet period and your grass is getting long, we’ll talk through options. Sometimes that means adjusting cutting height on the first pass to avoid shocking the grass. Sometimes it means getting creative with scheduling to hit your property as soon as conditions allow. The point is you’re not left guessing what’s happening or coming home to a jungle because nobody communicated.
Look at how fast your grass grows during peak season. If you’re going two weeks between cuts in May or June and your grass is getting shaggy, you need weekly service during that period. If your lawn still looks reasonable at the two-week mark, bi-weekly might work.
Most properties in West Glens Falls need weekly cuts from May through early July, then you can sometimes stretch to bi-weekly during the slower growth periods of late summer. Cool-season grasses—which is what we have here—grow most actively when temperatures are moderate and moisture is available.
Here’s the practical test: if you’re removing more than one-third of the blade height when you cut, you’re waiting too long between services. That stresses the grass and leaves you with clippings that are too heavy to mulch properly. You end up with clumps of cut grass sitting on your lawn creating dead spots. Weekly service during active growth prevents all that and keeps your lawn healthier overall.
Yes. Land mowing is different from regular residential lawn maintenance—you’re dealing with larger areas, rougher terrain, and often vegetation that’s gotten out of control. Our equipment and experience with property work across Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties means we can handle more than just maintained grass.
If you’ve got an overgrown field, unmaintained lot, or area that’s been neglected, that’s work we’re set up to do. The equipment requirements are different than standard lawn mowing. You need more power, more durability, and operators who know how to handle uneven ground and hidden obstacles.
This comes up often with new construction properties, estate maintenance, or situations where someone inherited land that hasn’t been maintained. The first cut on an overgrown property takes longer and costs more than regular maintenance because you’re essentially reclaiming the space. But once it’s under control, keeping it maintained is straightforward. We can walk the property with you and give you a realistic assessment of what you’re dealing with and what it’ll take to get it where you want it.
