We Know Long Island Lawns

Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been taking care of Port Jefferson area lawns for years. We understand how Long Island’s soil conditions, weather patterns, and grass varieties work together.

You’re not getting cookie-cutter service from a national chain. You’re working with people who live here, know the area, and have seen what works and what doesn’t on properties just like yours.

We’re licensed, insured, and equipped with professional-grade tools that deliver results you can’t get with consumer equipment. When we show up, we handle everything from mowing and edging to cleanup, so you don’t have to think about it.

Our Lawn Maintenance Process

Simple Service, Professional Results

We start by looking at your lawn’s current condition and discussing what you want to achieve. Every property is different, so we tailor our approach to what your grass actually needs.

Regular mowing keeps your lawn looking neat and encourages healthy growth. We cut at the right height for your grass type, edge around walkways and beds, and clean up clippings. No mess left behind.

Fertilization happens on a schedule that makes sense for Long Island growing conditions. We’re not just throwing chemicals around – we’re feeding your lawn when it can actually use the nutrients. Aeration services help compacted soil breathe, which is especially important in areas with heavy foot traffic or clay soil.

You’ll know when we’re coming, and you’ll see the difference in how your lawn looks and feels. Consistent care means consistent results, week after week, season after season.

Everything Your Lawn Needs

Our lawn care services cover what most Port Jefferson homeowners need to keep their properties looking great. Weekly or bi-weekly mowing includes edging, trimming, and cleanup. You’re not left with grass clippings scattered around your driveway.

Fertilization programs are designed for Long Island’s growing season. We know when your grass needs nutrients and when it doesn’t. Our lawn aeration services address the compacted soil issues that are common in residential areas.

Seasonal services include spring cleanup to get your lawn ready for growing season and fall preparation to help it survive winter. We’re not just maintaining your lawn – we’re helping it get healthier over time. That means thicker grass, fewer weeds, and better resistance to drought and foot traffic.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Port Jefferson area lawns need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season, which typically runs from late spring through early fall. The exact frequency depends on your grass type, weather conditions, and how fast your lawn grows. Cool-season grasses common in Long Island grow most actively in spring and fall, so you might need weekly service during these periods and bi-weekly service during summer heat. We adjust the schedule based on actual growth patterns, not just calendar dates, so you’re not paying for unnecessary cuts when growth slows down.

What's the best fertilization schedule for Long Island lawns?

Long Island lawns typically benefit from 3-4 fertilizer applications per year, timed to match the growing patterns of cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass. Early spring feeding helps grass recover from winter and start strong growth. Late spring application supports continued growth without encouraging excessive top growth during summer heat. Fall fertilization is crucial – it helps grass store energy for winter and promotes strong root development. We avoid heavy summer fertilization because it can stress grass during hot weather and increase water requirements when drought restrictions might be in effect.

When should I aerate my lawn and why is it necessary?

Core aeration works best in early fall for Long Island lawns, typically September through early October. This timing allows grass to recover and fill in aeration holes before winter. Aeration is especially important here because our clay-heavy soils compact easily from foot traffic, mowing equipment, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots effectively. You’ll know your lawn needs aeration if water pools on the surface after rain, if the soil feels hard when you walk on it, or if your grass struggles despite regular watering and fertilization.

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

Professional lawn care typically costs less than most homeowners expect when you factor in equipment, materials, and time. DIY lawn care requires a reliable mower, edger, spreader, and seasonal tools, plus ongoing costs for fuel, maintenance, fertilizer, and seed. Many homeowners spend $800-1500 annually on equipment and supplies alone. Professional service includes all equipment, materials, and expertise for often less than your total DIY costs. Plus, you get consistent results and your time back. We provide transparent pricing based on your lawn size and service frequency, so you know exactly what to expect.

What happens if weather affects the scheduled lawn service?

We adjust service schedules based on weather conditions to protect your lawn and provide the best results. We don’t mow wet grass because it can damage your lawn, clog equipment, and leave clumps that smother healthy grass underneath. If rain delays your scheduled service, we’ll reschedule for the next available day when conditions are suitable. During drought periods, we may recommend reducing mowing frequency to avoid stressing grass. We communicate schedule changes in advance when possible and work with you to maintain consistent lawn care despite weather challenges that are common in the Long Island area.

Do you provide lawn care services year-round or just during growing season?

Our lawn care services are seasonal, focused on the active growing period from spring through fall when your grass actually needs regular attention. This typically runs from April through November in the Port Jefferson area, depending on weather conditions. Winter lawn care is minimal since grass goes dormant, but we do provide fall cleanup services to prepare your lawn for winter and early spring cleanup to remove debris and prepare for the new growing season. Year-round contracts often include services your lawn doesn’t need during dormant periods, so our seasonal approach gives you better value and more appropriate care for Long Island’s climate patterns.
