Your grass can finally breathe again. No more thick leaf layers blocking sunlight and creating the perfect breeding ground for snow mold and fungal diseases that destroy lawns over winter.
You’ll skip the spring headache of dealing with dead grass patches, expensive lawn restoration, and that sinking feeling when you realize what could have been prevented. Instead, you get a head start on next season with a lawn that’s primed for healthy spring growth.
The difference shows up in your property value too. Clean, well-maintained landscapes don’t just look better—they signal to neighbors and potential buyers that this property is cared for properly.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been handling fall cleanup in Smithtown and throughout Suffolk County for years. We know exactly what Long Island’s climate throws at your property each season.
We understand that Smithtown homeowners deal with heavy leaf drops from mature oak, maple, and pine trees that can completely smother lawns if not handled properly. We’ve seen what happens when cleanup gets delayed—and more importantly, we know how to prevent it.
Our team uses commercial-grade equipment and proven techniques that work specifically for Suffolk County properties, from the sandy soils near the harbor to the clay-heavy areas inland.
First, we assess your entire property—not just the obvious leaf piles. We check landscape beds, under decks, around foundations, and those tricky areas where debris collects but gets overlooked.
Next comes the systematic removal using commercial leaf blowers and collection equipment. We clear everything from turf areas, hardscapes, and planting beds, making sure nothing gets missed that could cause problems later.
Finally, we haul everything away and leave your property completely clean. No bags sitting at the curb, no debris pushed into corners. You get a property that’s genuinely ready for winter and positioned for a strong spring comeback.

Complete leaf and debris removal from all turf areas, landscape beds, patios, walkways, and hardscape surfaces. We handle everything from small twigs to larger branches that accumulated over the growing season.
In Smithtown, this matters more than you might think. The area’s mature tree canopy means heavy leaf drops, especially from the large oaks and maples common in established neighborhoods. Without proper cleanup, these leaves create thick mats that block air circulation and trap moisture—perfect conditions for the fungal diseases that plague Long Island lawns.
We also clear gutters and downspouts when needed, ensuring proper drainage during fall rains and winter snow melt. This comprehensive approach prevents the water backup issues that can damage both your lawn and your home’s foundation.
The optimal window is mid to late fall, after most leaves have dropped but before the first snowfall. In Smithtown, this typically means late October through mid-November, depending on the weather pattern that year.
Timing matters because you want to catch the majority of leaf drop without waiting so long that wet weather makes the job harder. Early cleanup also prevents leaves from getting packed down by rain, which makes them much more difficult to remove and increases the risk of lawn damage.
We schedule based on actual conditions rather than calendar dates, so we can adjust timing if you get an early snow or an unusually warm fall that delays leaf drop.
Thick layers of leaves block sunlight and air from reaching your grass, essentially suffocating it over winter. This creates perfect conditions for snow mold, a fungal disease that shows up as circular dead patches when snow melts in spring.
You’ll also deal with pest problems, as mice and voles use leaf piles for shelter and often damage grass roots and tree bark while they’re hidden underneath. The longer leaves sit, the more compacted they become, making spring cleanup much harder and more expensive.
In Smithtown’s climate, skipped fall cleanup often means significant lawn restoration costs in spring—usually much more than professional cleanup would have cost in the first place.
Yes, we regularly handle properties with heavy tree coverage throughout Suffolk County. We have commercial-grade equipment specifically designed for efficient cleanup of large leaf volumes.
Our team understands that properties with mature oaks, maples, and other deciduous trees common in Smithtown require different approaches than smaller residential lots. We plan accordingly and bring the right equipment for the job size.
Large properties often benefit from multiple cleanup visits during peak leaf drop season, which we can schedule based on your specific trees and their dropping patterns. This prevents overwhelming accumulation and makes the overall process more manageable.
Absolutely. Fall cleanup includes removal of twigs, small branches, dead plant material, and any other organic debris that accumulated during the growing season. We also handle cleanup of seasonal decorations if needed.
This comprehensive approach is important because it’s not just leaves that cause problems—decomposing plant matter of any kind can harbor diseases and pests over winter. Thorough cleanup prevents these issues from carrying over to next growing season.
We’ll also identify any storm damage or broken branches that should be addressed before winter weather makes them more dangerous. This proactive approach helps prevent property damage from falling limbs during winter storms.
All collected material is hauled away from your property and disposed of properly through composting facilities or other environmentally responsible methods. You never have to worry about disposal logistics or multiple trips to the dump.
This full-service approach means no bags sitting at your curb for weeks, no debris pushed to property edges, and no cleanup tasks left for you to finish. When we’re done, your property is completely clear and ready for winter.
We also separate materials when possible to ensure proper recycling and composting, supporting environmental sustainability while handling your cleanup needs efficiently.
We monitor weather conditions closely and communicate with clients about any necessary schedule adjustments. We prioritize safety and service quality over strict adherence to original dates.
If rain or early snow delays cleanup, we reschedule as soon as conditions allow and work efficiently to get caught up. Our equipment can handle wet leaves when necessary, though dry conditions are always preferred for optimal results.
We maintain flexible scheduling during peak season specifically because fall weather can be unpredictable. This approach ensures you get thorough service regardless of what Mother Nature throws at the schedule.
