Lawn maintenance is one of our three main services, along with excavation and tree removal, and we keep lawns maintained through the growing season in Glens Falls, Queensbury, Saratoga Springs, Lake George, Fort Ann, Argyle and the towns around them. Lawns here usually need their first cut in late April or early May, so March and April are a good time to call about the coming season.

Regular Lawn Mowing Through the Growing Season
Regular mowing from the first cut in spring to the last one in the fall keeps a lawn thick and even. Cutting a little long, around three inches, helps the grass hold moisture and shade out weeds, and taking no more than a third of the blade at once keeps it from being stressed. That's why cuts come closer together in May and June, when the grass grows fastest, and spread out in the heat of July and August. We'll go over what each visit includes when you call.
Fixing Bare Patches and Low Spots
Bare patches, thin areas and low spots that hold water are usually a ground problem more than a grass problem. The fix is often some grading to move water where it should go, fresh topsoil, and new seed covered with straw to hold it in place. Because grading is part of our excavation and landscaping work, we can correct the ground under a lawn rather than reseeding the same spot every year.
Seasonal Timing for Lawns in Upstate New York
Grass around Glens Falls wakes up in late April, grows hardest in May and June, slows down in the summer heat and picks up again in September. Late August into September is the best time of year to seed, because the soil is still warm and the nights are cool. The last cuts usually come in late October or early November, and after that our work turns to snow removal.
Clippings, Watering and Summer Dormancy
Short clippings left on the lawn break down quickly and return nutrients to the soil, so most cuts don't need bagging. An established lawn needs about an inch of water a week from rain or a hose, and it's normal for grass to turn brown and go dormant in a dry July. It usually greens up again once the rain returns, and cutting less often during a dry spell helps it recover.

Spring
Grass wakes up in late April. May and June bring the fastest growth of the year, when most lawns need cutting about once a week to keep from getting ahead of the mower.
01Summer
Growth slows in the July and August heat. Leaving the grass a little longer and cutting less often helps the lawn get through dry spells without burning out.
02Early Fall
Growth picks up again in September. Late August into September is also the best time of year to seed thin or bare spots, while the soil is still warm.
03Late Fall
The last cuts usually come in late October or early November, depending on the weather. After that, the season turns to snow and the lawn rests until spring.

What Affects the Price of Lawn Care
The size of the lawn and how often it's cut are the main factors. Steep banks, many beds, trees and fences to trim around, and a lawn that has been let go all add time to each visit.

What to Tell Us
Where the property is, roughly how large the lawn is, and how often you'd like it cut. If there are bare spots, wet areas or other problems you'd like fixed, mention those too, since grading and seeding can be part of the same plan.
Why Hire Elevated Outdoors for Lawn Care
Clear Communication Through the Season
Doug built Elevated Outdoors around communication after years of watching larger companies leave customers guessing. With lawn maintenance, that means you know when the crew is coming, you hear from us when weather moves the schedule, and you can reach someone when you have a question about the yard.
One Company for the Whole Yard
Because Elevated Outdoors also handles tree removal, landscaping, hardscaping and grading, a dead tree, a washed-out bed or a soggy corner of the yard can be taken care of by the same crew that maintains the lawn. You don't have to find and schedule another company every time the yard needs more than a mow.

About once a week in May and June, when grass grows fastest, and less often in the summer heat. The rule of thumb is to remove no more than a third of the blade at a time.
Around three inches for most lawns in this area. Longer grass holds moisture better, shades out weeds and handles dry spells with less browning.
An established lawn gets by on about an inch of water a week, from rain or a hose. In a dry July it's normal for grass to go brown and dormant, and it greens up again when the rain comes back.
Late August into September. The soil is still warm, the nights are cooler, and fewer weeds compete with the new grass than in the spring.
Yes. Bare patches and low spots usually need some grading and new seed, which is part of our landscaping work.
Usually not. Short clippings left on the lawn break down within days and return nutrients to the soil. Bagging makes sense when the grass has grown long enough to leave clumps.
Around Glens Falls, the first cut usually comes in late April or early May and the last in late October or early November, depending on the weather that year.
