Northport Lawn Maintenance Company

We Know Long Island Lawns

We’ve been maintaining Northport lawns for years at Rolling Hills Property Services. We understand how the salt air affects your grass and what it takes to keep lawns healthy through Long Island’s tough winters.

You’re not getting generic lawn care. We know which fertilizers work best in our sandy soil and when to apply them for maximum results.

Residential Lawn Care Process

Simple Process, Consistent Results Every Time

We show up the same day each week, weather permitting. Your grass gets cut to the proper height – never too short, which weakens the root system.

We edge along walkways and driveways for that clean, finished look. Clippings get mulched back into the lawn to add nutrients naturally.

After each visit, you’ll see the difference immediately. Over time, regular professional care makes your lawn thicker and healthier than sporadic DIY maintenance ever could.

Lawn Fertilization and Aeration

Complete Care Beyond Just Mowing

Regular mowing is just the foundation. Your lawn also needs proper fertilization timed for Long Island’s growing seasons – not the generic schedule you see on store-bought products.

Aeration breaks up soil compaction that builds up from foot traffic and our coastal climate. This lets water and nutrients reach the roots instead of running off the surface.

We handle seasonal cleanups, leaf removal, and early spring preparation so your lawn starts each growing season strong. Everything works together to keep your grass healthy year-round.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Northport lawns need weekly mowing from April through October. During peak growing periods in late spring and early fall, some lawns benefit from twice-weekly service. We never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single cutting, which keeps your lawn healthy and prevents shock. The exact schedule depends on your grass type and growing conditions, but consistency matters more than trying to stretch it longer between cuts.

What's the best mowing height for Long Island grass types?

Most Long Island lawns do best cut between 2.5 and 3.5 inches high. Taller grass develops deeper roots, crowds out weeds naturally, and handles drought stress better. Many homeowners cut too short thinking it means less frequent mowing, but this actually weakens the grass and creates more problems. We adjust cutting height seasonally – slightly higher in summer heat and before winter dormancy, and can go a bit shorter during optimal growing conditions in spring and fall.

When should I fertilize my lawn in Northport?

Long Island lawns typically need fertilization in early spring, late spring, summer, and fall. The timing matters more than most people realize – too early in spring before soil temperatures reach 55 degrees wastes money and can harm grass. Fall fertilization is actually the most important application because it helps grass store energy for winter and promotes strong spring growth. We use slow-release fertilizers that feed your lawn gradually instead of causing rapid growth spurts that stress the grass.

Do you provide lawn aeration services in Northport?

Yes, we provide core aeration services typically performed in early fall when grass is actively growing but heat stress is reduced. Northport’s sandy soil mixed with clay deposits can still develop compaction, especially in high-traffic areas. Aeration removes small plugs of soil to allow water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone. Most residential lawns benefit from annual aeration, though heavily used areas might need it twice yearly. We recommend overseeding immediately after aeration for best results.

What makes professional lawn care better than doing it myself?

Professional equipment makes a significant difference – our commercial mowers cut cleaner and more evenly than most residential equipment. Sharp blades and proper cutting techniques prevent the brown, frayed edges you get from dull or low-quality mowers. We also maintain consistent schedules regardless of your busy week, and we know how to spot early signs of disease, pest problems, or nutrient deficiencies before they become expensive problems. The time savings alone usually justifies the cost for most busy homeowners.

How much does professional lawn care cost in Northport?

Lawn care pricing depends on your property size, terrain, and specific services needed. Most residential properties in Northport range from $40-80 per visit for basic mowing and edging. Additional services like fertilization, aeration, and seasonal cleanups are priced separately. We provide upfront estimates based on your actual property rather than giving generic quotes over the phone. Many homeowners find the cost comparable to maintaining their own equipment, buying fertilizers, and factoring in their time – plus you get professional results and your weekends back.
