Your property looks pristine and ready for winter. No more suffocated grass patches come spring because leaves got left too long. No clogged gutters causing ice dams when temperatures drop.
You get your weekends back instead of spending them raking endless piles of oak and maple leaves. Your lawn stays healthy through winter because it can actually breathe without that thick blanket of debris.
The real difference? You’re not dealing with multiple dump runs, borrowed equipment that barely works, or that nagging feeling you should have started this project weeks ago.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been handling fall cleanup across Suffolk County for years. We know exactly when Long Island’s leaves hit peak drop and how Dix Hills’ mature tree canopy creates unique challenges.
We’re licensed and insured, which matters when you’re dealing with ladder work and heavy equipment. More importantly, we understand the timing that makes or breaks your lawn’s health through winter.
This isn’t a crew that shows up whenever we feel like it. We work around your schedule and the weather patterns that actually matter in this area.
First, we assess your property and identify priority areas – usually the heaviest leaf accumulation and any gutter issues that need immediate attention. No guesswork about what needs to be done.
Next comes the actual cleanup using commercial-grade equipment that handles large properties efficiently. We’re not showing up with a rake and hoping for the best. Leaves get removed completely, gutters get cleaned, and debris gets hauled away.
Finally, we do a walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your standards. Your property gets left clean, and you don’t have to worry about cleanup or disposal.

Complete leaf removal from lawns, beds, and hardscaped areas using professional equipment that actually picks up everything – not just the easy stuff. Gutter cleaning and downspout clearing to prevent winter ice damage.
Debris removal and proper disposal so you’re not making multiple trips to the dump or dealing with pickup restrictions. Light pruning of branches that could become problems during winter storms.
In Dix Hills, the combination of mature oaks and maples creates serious leaf volume by late October. We handle this reality with equipment sized for the job, not undersized tools that turn a day’s work into a week-long project.
Late October through mid-November typically works best in Dix Hills, after the majority of leaves have fallen but before the first hard freeze. Oak trees, which are common in the area, tend to hold their leaves longer than maples.
The key is timing it right – too early and you’re cleaning up twice, too late and wet leaves become much harder to remove effectively. Weather also plays a role since wet conditions make cleanup more difficult and can damage lawns if heavy equipment is used.
Most properties benefit from cleanup once peak leaf drop is about 80% complete, which usually happens in early November for this area.
Yes, complete removal from all landscaped areas is part of our standard service. This includes flower beds, around shrubs, and in mulched areas where leaves can smother plants or create pest problems.
However, in some cases a thin layer of leaves can actually benefit certain plantings as natural mulch. We can discuss what makes sense for your specific landscape and leave beneficial leaf cover where appropriate.
Our goal is protecting your plants and lawn health, not just removing every single leaf if it’s not necessary for the health of your landscape.
All organic debris gets properly disposed of at approved facilities that handle yard waste. You don’t have to worry about disposal logistics or multiple trips to the dump with your own vehicle.
Leaves and organic matter go to composting facilities when possible, supporting environmentally responsible disposal practices. Any non-organic debris gets separated and disposed of appropriately.
This is included in our service cost – no surprise fees for disposal or expectations that you’ll handle removal yourself after the cleanup is complete.
Gutter cleaning is included when it’s part of comprehensive fall cleanup, especially since clogged gutters can cause serious ice dam problems during Long Island winters. This includes downspout clearing to ensure proper drainage.
We use proper safety equipment and techniques for gutter work, which is important since many homeowner injuries happen during DIY gutter cleaning attempts. We’re licensed and insured for this type of work.
If your gutters haven’t been cleaned in several seasons or have significant issues beyond basic leaf removal, that might require separate attention, but routine seasonal cleaning is part of standard fall cleanup.
Most residential properties in Dix Hills take between 4-8 hours depending on lot size, tree coverage, and how much debris has accumulated. Properties with extensive mature trees obviously take longer.
We work efficiently with commercial equipment, so the timeline is much shorter than what homeowners typically experience doing it themselves. Weather conditions can affect timing if leaves are wet or conditions aren’t safe for equipment use.
You’ll get a realistic timeframe estimate upfront based on your specific property conditions, not a generic quote that doesn’t account for your actual situation.
Yes, we offer services throughout the fall season with flexible scheduling to work around your timeline and the weather. Some properties benefit from multiple cleanups if they have heavy leaf drop over an extended period.
Peak season is obviously busy, so earlier scheduling helps ensure you get your preferred timeframe. We monitor weather forecasts to optimize timing and avoid working in conditions that could damage your lawn.
If you’re unsure about timing, we can provide guidance based on your specific tree types and typical drop patterns for the Dix Hills area.
