Deer Park Lawn Maintenance

We Know Long Island Lawns

Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been keeping Deer Park lawns healthy for years. We understand how Long Island’s clay soil, coastal humidity, and seasonal weather patterns affect your grass.

We’re not the company that shows up whenever we feel like it or treats every lawn the same. We know which fertilizers work in this area, when to aerate based on our local conditions, and how to handle the lawn problems that are specific to our region.

You’re working with people who live here, work here, and have figured out what actually works for lawns in Deer Park.

Lawn Care Process

How We Keep Your Lawn Healthy

We start by looking at what you’re working with. Every lawn is different, and we need to understand your soil, grass type, and any problem areas before we create a plan.

Then we set up a regular maintenance schedule that works for your lawn’s needs and your schedule. This typically includes weekly mowing during growing season, fertilization at the right times for Long Island conditions, and seasonal services like aeration when your grass actually needs it.

You don’t have to think about it after that. We show up when scheduled, take care of what needs to be done, and keep you updated on anything important. If we see problems developing, we address them before they become expensive issues.

The goal is simple: healthy grass that looks good and stays that way, without you having to become a lawn care expert or sacrifice your weekends.

What's Included In Your Service

Regular mowing with professional equipment that gives you clean, even cuts. We’re not using the same mower you can buy at the hardware store. Our equipment is designed for consistent results and healthier grass.

Fertilization programs designed for Long Island soil conditions. We know what works here and when to apply it. No more guessing about timing or wondering why the fertilizer you bought isn’t working.

Seasonal services like aeration and overseeding when your lawn actually needs them. Many Deer Park lawns benefit from fall aeration, but we base recommendations on what we see in your specific yard.

We also handle the details that make a difference: proper mowing height for your grass type, edge trimming that looks clean, and keeping an eye out for problems before they spread. You get the comprehensive care that keeps lawns healthy long-term, not just cut short every week.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most lawns in Deer Park need weekly mowing during peak growing season, which is typically late spring through early fall. However, this can vary based on your grass type, weather conditions, and how fast your particular lawn grows. We adjust the schedule based on actual growth rather than sticking to a rigid calendar. During slower growing periods in early spring or late fall, we might mow every 10-14 days. The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade at once, which keeps your lawn healthier and looking better.

When is the best time to fertilize lawns on Long Island?

Long Island lawns typically benefit from a spring fertilization in early to mid-April, a summer application in late June or early July, and a fall feeding in September or early October. Fall fertilization is actually the most important application because it helps grass store nutrients for winter and promotes strong root development. However, timing depends on your specific grass type and soil conditions. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass have different needs than warm-season varieties. We soil test when needed to determine exactly what your lawn requires rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Do I need lawn aeration services every year?

Not necessarily. Aeration needs depend on your soil type, foot traffic, and how compacted your lawn becomes. Many Deer Park properties have clay soil that compacts more easily, especially in high-traffic areas. If your lawn has heavy foot traffic from kids or pets, gets waterlogged after rain, or feels hard underfoot, annual aeration is usually beneficial. Lawns with lighter soil or minimal traffic might only need aeration every 2-3 years. We evaluate each property individually and recommend aeration when it will actually improve your lawn’s health, not just because it’s on the calendar.

What's the difference between professional and DIY lawn care results?

Professional lawn care uses commercial-grade equipment, proper timing, and products that aren’t available to homeowners. Our mowers cut more evenly and handle different grass types better than residential equipment. We also know exactly when to apply treatments based on local growing conditions, not just package directions. Professional fertilizers are typically more effective and longer-lasting than store-bought options. Most importantly, we catch problems early before they become expensive issues. DIY lawn care often results in inconsistent results, timing mistakes, and small problems becoming big ones because they weren’t addressed quickly enough.

How much does professional lawn care cost compared to doing it myself?

When you factor in equipment costs, fuel, fertilizers, and your time, professional lawn care is often comparable to DIY costs. A quality mower, trimmer, and spreader can easily cost $1,000-2,000, plus ongoing maintenance and storage. Add fertilizers, grass seed, and other treatments throughout the year, and costs add up quickly. Professional service eliminates equipment costs, storage issues, and the time investment of learning what works and what doesn’t. You also get consistent results and avoid costly mistakes like over-fertilizing or using the wrong products for your grass type.

Can you work around my schedule and property features?

Yes, we work around your schedule and property needs. We can service your lawn when you’re not home, work around parked cars, and handle properties with gardens, play equipment, or other features. We communicate about any scheduling changes due to weather and can adjust our timing for special events or situations. Each property is different, and we adapt our approach accordingly. If you have pets, specific areas you want us to avoid, or particular requirements for your property, we build that into our service plan from the start.
