Mount Sinai Lawn Maintenance

We Know Long Island Lawns

Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been keeping Mount Sinai lawns healthy for years. We’re not the biggest company on Long Island, but we know what works here.

The salt air, sandy soil, and temperature swings create specific challenges for grass. We’ve seen what happens when you treat every lawn the same way. It doesn’t work.

You’re working with people who understand the difference between cool-season and warm-season grasses. Who know when to aerate based on your soil compaction, not just the calendar.

Residential Lawn Care Process

How We Keep Your Lawn Right

We start by looking at what you actually have. Grass type, soil conditions, problem areas. Not every lawn in Mount Sinai is the same, so cookie-cutter approaches don’t work.

Weekly mowing keeps your grass at the right height for healthy growth. We’re not just cutting it shorter – we’re cutting it right. Sharp blades, proper patterns, clean edges that make the whole property look intentional.

Seasonal treatments happen when your lawn needs them. Spring fertilization to wake up root systems. Summer adjustments for heat stress. Fall preparation for winter dormancy. We track what your specific lawn responds to and adjust accordingly.

Lawn Fertilization and Aeration

What's Included in Your Service

Regular mowing with professional equipment that cuts clean and promotes healthy growth. We adjust cutting heights based on season and grass type, not convenience.

Fertilization programs designed for Long Island conditions. Your lawn gets nutrients when it can actually use them. Spring feeding for root development, summer treatments for heat tolerance, fall preparation for winter survival.

Core aeration when your soil needs it. Mount Sinai’s sandy soil still gets compacted from foot traffic and weather. We pull plugs to let air, water, and nutrients reach root systems. Makes a bigger difference than most people expect.

How often should my Mount Sinai lawn be mowed during growing season?

Weekly mowing works best for most Long Island grass types during active growing season, which typically runs from April through October. The key isn’t just frequency – it’s cutting at the right height for your specific grass type. Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass should be kept around 3 inches tall, while warm-season varieties can handle shorter cuts. Cutting too short stresses the grass and makes it more susceptible to disease and drought damage. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth rates, not just the calendar.

When is the best time to fertilize lawns in Mount Sinai?

Spring fertilization should happen when soil temperatures consistently reach 55-60 degrees, usually mid to late April in Mount Sinai. This timing coincides with when grass roots start actively growing and can actually use the nutrients. Summer feeding depends on your grass type and weather conditions – some years require light applications, others don’t. Fall fertilization in September or early October helps prepare grass for winter dormancy and promotes strong root development for next spring. Timing matters more than most people realize because nutrients applied at the wrong time either get wasted or can actually harm your lawn.

Do I need lawn aeration services for my Mount Sinai property?

Most Mount Sinai lawns benefit from core aeration every 2-3 years, especially if you have foot traffic or clay soil mixed with the sandy base. Even sandy soil gets compacted over time. Signs you need aeration include water pooling on the surface, thin grass growth, or soil that feels hard when you walk on it. The best time for aeration is early fall when grass is actively growing but heat stress is reduced. Spring aeration can work too, but fall timing allows grass to recover and fill in before winter. We recommend core aeration over spike aeration because pulling plugs actually relieves compaction instead of just poking holes.

What's the difference between professional lawn care and doing it myself?

Professional equipment makes a significant difference in results. Commercial mowers cut cleaner and more evenly than residential equipment, which reduces stress on grass and creates better appearance. We also maintain sharp blades and proper cutting patterns that promote healthy growth. Knowledge of grass types, soil conditions, and seasonal timing prevent common mistakes like over-fertilizing or cutting too short. Most homeowners either under-treat or over-treat their lawns because they’re guessing about timing and application rates. Professional service also means consistency – your lawn gets proper care whether you’re busy, traveling, or dealing with equipment problems.

How much does professional lawn care cost in Mount Sinai?

Lawn care costs depend on property size, services included, and frequency of visits. Basic weekly mowing for an average Mount Sinai property typically ranges from $40-80 per visit. Full-service programs including mowing, fertilization, and aeration cost more but provide better long-term value by preventing problems before they start. When you factor in equipment costs, maintenance, fuel, and your time, professional service often costs less than quality DIY care. We provide specific pricing based on your actual property and service needs, not generic estimates. Most clients find the time savings and consistent results justify the investment.

Can you handle lawn care for properties with specific challenges?

Yes, we regularly work with challenging lawn conditions common in Mount Sinai. Shaded areas under mature trees, slopes that are difficult to mow, areas with poor drainage, and lawns affected by salt air exposure all require specific approaches. Shade-tolerant grass varieties, specialized fertilization programs, and adjusted mowing heights can improve most problem areas. Some situations require realistic expectations – heavily shaded areas may never look like full-sun lawns, but they can still be healthy and attractive. We assess each property individually and recommend solutions based on what’s actually possible given your specific conditions and maintenance goals.
