No more thick leaf blankets suffocating your grass all winter. No more fungal problems when spring arrives because wet debris sat on your lawn for months.
Your property looks maintained instead of abandoned. Neighbors stop giving you those looks. Your grass actually survives Long Island’s brutal winters because it got the preparation it needed.
Come spring, you’re the house with the thick, green lawn while others are dealing with bare spots and starting over. That’s what happens when fall cleanup gets done right instead of just raked and forgotten.
Rolling Hills Property Services handles Suffolk County properties year-round. We know exactly what West Islip lawns face during winter and what they need to bounce back strong.
You’re not getting some generic crew that treats every region the same. We understand that Long Island’s spring rains make fall seeding critical here, unlike other areas where spring works better. We know which fertilizer blends help grass store nutrients for our specific winter conditions.
We’re licensed, insured, and local. When you need follow-up work or have questions next season, we’re still here. Your property gets treated like we live in the neighborhood too—because we do.
We start by removing every leaf and piece of debris from your lawn and landscape beds. Not the surface stuff—everything that’s creating wet, dark conditions where fungus thrives.
Then comes the technical work most homeowners skip. We aerate soil that got compacted from summer foot traffic so water and nutrients can reach roots again. We apply fertilizer formulated specifically for Long Island winter preparation.
Finally, complete cleanup and removal. No debris piles sitting at your curb for weeks. No half-finished areas that still look messy. When we leave, your property is actually ready for winter, and you can forget about yard work until spring.

West Islip properties near the water get extra attention for drainage issues that cause problems during freeze-thaw cycles. Properties with mature tree coverage get systematic cleanup that handles high-volume leaf drop without missing spots.
Everything gets properly disposed of through our established channels—not just moved to different areas of your property or left in bags at the curb. You get a truly finished result that looks professional and stays that way through winter.
The sweet spot runs from mid-October through late November, but timing depends on your specific trees and local conditions. You want most leaves down but not sitting wet on your grass for weeks.
Wait too long and you’re dealing with soggy, matted leaves that create perfect conditions for snow mold and other fungal problems. Go too early and you’ll need a second cleanup when the rest of the leaves drop.
We track local leaf drop patterns and can tell you the optimal timing for your property based on your tree types and their typical shedding schedule in West Islip. Most properties hit peak cleanup time in early November.
Your lawn pays the price all winter and into next growing season. Thick leaf layers block sunlight and create wet conditions that breed snow mold, brown patch, and other diseases that kill grass.
Long Island’s wet springs make this worse because decomposing organic matter stays soggy longer. You’ll see bare spots, thin areas, and poor color when grass tries to green up next year. Some damage takes multiple seasons to fully recover from.
Beyond lawn damage, clogged gutters and drainage systems can cause water issues around your foundation. Your property looks neglected all winter, affecting both value and neighborhood perception.
Yes, we regularly work with West Islip properties that have mature oaks, maples, and other heavy leaf-dropping trees. Large properties require commercial-grade equipment and systematic approaches that homeowners can’t manage effectively.
We bring powerful blowers, high-capacity collection systems, and proper hauling equipment to handle massive volumes efficiently. Our crew knows how to work around delicate plantings while getting thorough coverage of all areas.
For properties with significant tree coverage, we often recommend phased cleanup—bulk removal after peak drop, then final cleanup once everything’s finished shedding. This ensures nothing gets missed and your property stays neat throughout the entire fall season.
Fall cleanup is about prevention—stopping problems before they start. Spring cleanup is about correction—fixing what winter damaged. Completely different goals and techniques.
In fall, we’re removing debris before it causes fungal issues, applying nutrients that help grass store energy for winter survival, and ensuring proper drainage before freeze-thaw cycles begin. Spring work addresses winter damage and prepares for active growing season.
The fertilizers are different, the timing is different, and the focus is different. Fall work protects your investment through winter. Spring work gets growth started again after winter ends.
All turf areas, landscape beds, walkways, driveways, and hardscaped surfaces where debris accumulates. We clear around foundation plantings, remove ground-level gutter buildup, and handle any storm debris throughout the property.
This includes front and back lawns, side yards, areas around patios and decks, and all planted beds. We also hit the problem spots homeowners miss—under decks, around equipment, and corners where debris collects.
We don’t just handle the obvious areas and ignore the rest. Everything gets properly cleared and removed, not just moved to less visible spots where it can still cause problems.
Complete removal and proper disposal is included in your service—no additional fees, no coordination needed on your end. Our equipment is sized for high-volume removal, and we have established disposal relationships throughout Suffolk County.
All organic matter goes to appropriate facilities, including composting operations where suitable. We don’t dump everything in landfills or leave you with massive debris piles at the curb for weeks.
Disposal costs are built into the service price, so no surprises when we’re finished. We handle all logistics from removal through final disposal, leaving your property completely clean without any remaining tasks for you.
