You’ve got acreage. Maybe some rocks. Possibly a slope that makes you think twice about doing it yourself.
Most lawn mowing services in Whitehall, NY show up with residential equipment that can’t handle what Washington County properties actually look like. They quote you, then add fees when they see the terrain. Or they just don’t call back.
We run excavation equipment daily. That means we already own the machines that make quick work of large properties, uneven ground, and overgrown land. Your grass mowing gets done without the runaround, without the upcharges, and without wondering if the crew will actually show.
You get a clear price upfront. The job gets finished when we say it will. And if you need land clearing, grading, or drainage work down the road, you’re already working with someone who can handle it.
Emerson Excavating and Trucking started as a logging operation in 1997. We’ve been moving dirt, clearing land, and prepping sites across Whitehall, NY and Washington County for over two decades. In 2020, we went full-time excavation. In 2022, Josh’s son joined as a partner.
We’re not a lawn care franchise. We’re a family operation that lives here, works here, and understands what local properties actually require. Josh is on nearly every job, so quality doesn’t get delegated to a crew that doesn’t care.
When you call us for grass mowing in Whitehall, NY, you’re getting the same attention to detail we bring to septic installs and driveway builds. That’s not something most mowing services can say.
Reach out by text or call. We’ll ask about your property size, terrain, and what kind of maintenance schedule you’re looking for. If it’s a new property or we haven’t been there before, we’ll come take a look.
You’ll get a straightforward estimate. No hidden fees for rocks, slopes, or “difficult access.” We’ve seen it all in Whitehall, NY, so our pricing accounts for real conditions, not best-case scenarios.
Once we’re scheduled, we show up with the right equipment for your land. That might mean a brush hog for overgrown areas or commercial mowing gear for regular maintenance. We handle the cutting, trimming around obstacles, and making sure the property looks finished—not half-done.
If the job reveals drainage issues, erosion problems, or areas that need grading, we’ll let you know. We’re already set up to handle that work if you want it addressed. Most lawn mowing services in Whitehall, NY can’t say that.

This isn’t just a quick pass with a mower. You’re getting professional lawn mowing in Whitehall, NY from a crew that understands local terrain.
Whitehall properties sit on rocky, glacially-formed ground. Freeze-thaw cycles heave stones to the surface. Slopes drain poorly without proper grading. Heavily forested lots need more than cosmetic trimming—they need land mowing that accounts for roots, stumps, and uneven ground.
We handle all of it. Large residential lots, new construction sites that need regular maintenance during the build, overgrown land that hasn’t been touched in years. Our equipment is built for commercial and excavation work, so it doesn’t bog down or break when conditions get tough.
You also get direct communication. Text or call Josh. You’re not dealing with a call center or a rotating crew that doesn’t know your property. If you need seasonal service, we can set that up. If it’s a one-time cleanup before you list the house, we can do that too.
It depends on acreage, terrain, and how overgrown things are. Most properties in Whitehall, NY with significant land are looking at somewhere between $85 and $200+ per visit, but that’s a rough range.
Rocky ground, steep slopes, and heavy brush all add time. So does access—if we’re navigating tight gates or rutted driveways, that factors in. We don’t give cookie-cutter pricing because no two properties here are the same.
The best move is to reach out with your address and a rough sense of lot size. We’ll either give you a ballpark or come take a look. Either way, you’ll know the real number before we start, and it won’t change unless the scope does.
We handle both. If your property hasn’t been touched in a few seasons, that’s actually where our equipment shines.
Regular lawn mowing services in Whitehall, NY usually can’t deal with brush, saplings, or waist-high growth. We run brush hogs and land mowing equipment designed for exactly that. We’ve cleared logging sites and prepped construction lots, so overgrown residential land is well within our scope.
Once it’s back under control, we can keep it maintained on whatever schedule makes sense. Some customers want monthly cuts during growing season. Others just need it knocked down once or twice a year. We’re flexible based on what the property actually needs, not what fits a franchise’s service package.
Both. Some customers need ongoing maintenance through spring and summer. Others are prepping a property for sale or just need a seasonal cleanup.
For regular service, we can set up a schedule that makes sense—usually every two to four weeks depending on growth and weather. Whitehall, NY gets enough rain that grass grows fast from May through September, so most properties benefit from consistent cuts during that window.
If it’s one-time work, that’s fine too. We’re not trying to lock anyone into a contract. You need the lawn mowed, we’ll come mow it. If you want us back, you’ll call. That’s how we’ve operated since 1997, and it’s worked out fine.
We’re an excavation company first. That means we already own and operate heavy-duty equipment that most grass mowing services don’t have access to.
When you’ve got a large lot, rocky terrain, or challenging access, that equipment matters. We’re not showing up with a trailer full of residential mowers hoping they hold up. We’re bringing machines built for commercial work and rough ground.
The other difference is continuity. Josh is on almost every job. You’re not getting a different crew each time who doesn’t know your property. And if you ever need site work, drainage, grading, or land clearing, you’re already working with someone who can handle it. Most local lawn mowing services in Whitehall, NY can’t offer that.
If you’ve had services quote you and then ghost, or if they’ve shown up and struggled to finish, that’s a sign. Same goes for properties over an acre with rocks, slopes, or uneven ground.
Whitehall, NY sits on terrain that’s tough on equipment. Glacial till means rocks everywhere. Slopes drain poorly without grading. Forested lots have roots and stumps that residential mowers can’t navigate. If your property checks any of those boxes, you’re probably better off with a professional land mowing service that has the right gear.
The easiest way to know for sure is to reach out. Describe what you’re dealing with, and we’ll tell you straight whether we’re a fit. If it’s something a regular service can handle, we’ll say so. If it needs our equipment, we’ll explain why and give you a clear price.
We cover Whitehall, NY and the surrounding Washington County area. We’ve worked throughout the region since 1997, so we know the roads, the terrain, and the local conditions.
If you’re in a neighboring town and need professional lawn mowing or land clearing, reach out. We’ll let you know if we can get there on a schedule that makes sense. Most of our work stays within a reasonable radius of Whitehall, but we’re flexible for the right projects.
Distance matters more when you’re talking about regular service versus one-time work. For ongoing maintenance, we prefer to keep routes efficient. For larger jobs or property prep, we’re willing to travel further. Either way, a quick call or text will get you an answer.
