You get your weekends back while your lawn gets the protection it needs. No more spending entire Saturdays raking endless piles of leaves, only to watch more fall the next day.
Your grass stays healthy through winter instead of suffocating under layers of wet leaves. Your drainage systems work properly because gutters and storm drains stay clear. Your property maintains its curb appeal while neighbors struggle with leaf-covered lawns that look abandoned.
When spring arrives, you’ll have a lawn that’s ready to thrive instead of one that’s been damaged by months of neglect. That’s the difference between hoping your yard survives winter and knowing it will.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been handling Long Island’s unique fall cleanup challenges for years. We know exactly how Babylon’s mature oak and maple trees behave, and we understand the timing that matters here.
Suffolk County properties face specific challenges that generic lawn services miss. The sandy soil, coastal winds, and heavy leaf drop from established neighborhoods require local knowledge and the right approach.
We’re fully licensed and insured, which means you’re protected. More importantly, we’re neighbors who understand what Babylon homeowners deal with every fall—and we show up when we say we will.
First, we assess your property to understand the scope and timing. Every yard is different—some need multiple visits as leaves continue falling, others can be handled in one comprehensive session.
Next comes the systematic cleanup. We start with gutters and drainage areas, then move to lawn areas, garden beds, and hardscaping. Professional equipment means efficient work that would take you all weekend gets done in hours.
Finally, everything gets properly disposed of or composted according to Babylon’s regulations. You don’t deal with bagging, hauling, or figuring out disposal. When we’re done, your property is winter-ready and your weekends are yours again.

Complete leaf removal from all lawn areas, garden beds, and hardscaping. Gutter cleaning to prevent ice dam formation during Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles. Debris removal from storm drains and drainage areas that commonly clog in Babylon’s established neighborhoods.
Garden bed preparation including cutting back perennials and protecting sensitive plants. Final lawn mowing at the proper height for winter dormancy. Removal and disposal of all organic debris according to local regulations.
This isn’t just raking leaves into piles. It’s comprehensive fall property preparation that addresses the specific challenges Babylon homeowners face—from the heavy leaf drop of mature street trees to the drainage issues common in older neighborhoods near the water.
The timing depends on your specific trees and weather patterns, but most Babylon properties need cleanup between mid-October and early December. Oak trees, which are abundant in established Babylon neighborhoods, tend to hold their leaves longer than maples.
The key is not waiting until all leaves have fallen—that often means cleanup happens during wet, cold conditions that make the job harder and more expensive. Multiple smaller cleanups often work better than one massive end-of-season push.
Weather matters too. After heavy storms or during extended warm periods, leaves fall faster and need quicker attention to prevent lawn damage.
Costs vary based on property size, tree coverage, and specific needs, but most Babylon residential properties range from $200-600 for comprehensive fall cleanup. Properties with extensive mature trees or multiple cleanup visits will be toward the higher end.
The investment makes sense when you consider the cost of lawn restoration if leaves are left to smother grass through winter. Dead spots and disease issues from poor fall maintenance often cost more to fix than prevention would have cost.
We provide transparent estimates with no surprises. We assess your specific situation and give you a clear price before any work begins.
Yes, but the approach depends on what’s planted and what you want to achieve. Some garden beds benefit from a light layer of leaves as natural mulch, while others need complete clearing for plant health.
Around perennials that have been cut back, a thin layer of leaves can provide winter protection. But thick accumulations against shrubs or in areas with drainage issues get removed completely.
We discuss your preferences during the assessment and handle each area appropriately. The goal is healthier plants and cleaner appearance, not just removing every leaf we see.
All organic debris gets properly disposed of according to Babylon’s regulations. This typically means composting facilities or approved disposal sites—not just dumping somewhere convenient.
Large volumes of leaves can be composted if you have space and interest, though most homeowners prefer complete removal. We handle all the logistics so you don’t have to figure out disposal options or make multiple trips to facilities.
Some municipalities have specific collection requirements or timing, which we’re familiar with from working in the area. You don’t have to research local rules or worry about compliance.
Gutter cleaning is included in comprehensive fall cleanup because clogged gutters cause bigger problems than messy lawns. Ice dams, foundation issues, and roof damage all start with gutters that can’t handle winter precipitation.
Babylon’s mature trees drop significant debris into gutters, especially during storms. Cleaning them as part of fall cleanup makes sense timing-wise and prevents emergency calls during winter weather.
We have the proper equipment and safety training for gutter work. This isn’t a ladder-and-bucket operation—it’s professional cleaning that addresses downspouts, drainage connections, and potential problem areas.
Most Babylon properties benefit from 2-3 cleanup sessions between October and December, depending on tree coverage and weather patterns. Properties with heavy oak coverage often need an additional late-season cleanup since oaks hold leaves longer.
Single-visit cleanup works for properties with lighter tree coverage or homeowners who handle some maintenance themselves. But properties with extensive mature trees usually need multiple visits for the best results.
The approach depends on your specific situation and budget. We can recommend the right frequency during the initial assessment based on your trees, lawn condition, and maintenance goals.
