A Lawn That Actually Looks Professional

You know the difference when you see it. Clean edges. Even growth. That deep green color that only comes from proper fertilization and consistent care.

Your neighbors notice. Your family enjoys the space more. And you’re not spending every Saturday morning behind a mower, wondering why your grass still looks patchy despite all the effort.

Professional lawn care isn’t just about cutting grass. It’s about understanding Suffolk County soil, knowing when to fertilize, and having the right equipment to get results that last. When your lawn looks this good consistently, you realize how much time and frustration you’ve been wasting trying to do it yourself.

Shirley Lawn Maintenance Experts

We Know Long Island Lawns

Rolling Hills Property Services Inc has been maintaining properties across Shirley and Suffolk County for years. We understand the specific challenges of Long Island lawns – from sandy soil conditions to the salt air effects near the coast.

Our crews show up consistently, use professional-grade equipment, and treat your property like it’s our own. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in reliable service, proper techniques, and results that actually last.

Simple Process, Consistent Results

We start with an assessment of your current lawn condition and discuss your goals. No high-pressure sales pitch – just a straightforward conversation about what your property needs.

Once we begin service, you’ll see our crew on the same day each week or every other week, depending on your schedule. We mow, edge, and clean up completely. During growing season, we’ll recommend fertilization timing based on your grass type and soil conditions.

You don’t need to be home. We’ll communicate any issues or recommendations via text or email. Payment is simple, and you can adjust or pause service anytime with reasonable notice.

More Than Just Mowing

Every service includes mowing at the proper height for your grass type, precise edging around walkways and beds, and complete cleanup of clippings and debris. We’re not rushing through your property to get to the next job.

Seasonal services include spring cleanup, fertilization programs timed for Long Island’s climate, and core aeration to address soil compaction. Many Shirley properties benefit from fall overseeding, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic or pet activity.

Our equipment is commercial-grade and maintained properly. You’ll notice the difference in cut quality and consistency compared to typical homeowner mowers. We also carry insurance and handle all the equipment maintenance, fuel, and storage headaches.

How often should I have my lawn mowed in Shirley?

Most Shirley lawns need mowing weekly during peak growing season (May through September) and every other week during slower growth periods. The key is never cutting more than one-third of the grass height at once, which promotes healthier growth and better appearance. During hot summer months, we may recommend slightly longer intervals to avoid stressing the grass. We adjust frequency based on actual growth rates, not just calendar dates, so you’re not paying for unnecessary visits when growth slows down.

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

Long Island lawns typically benefit from a four-application program: early spring for green-up, late spring for growth, summer for stress protection, and fall for root development. The timing matters more than most people realize – applying fertilizer too early or late can actually harm your lawn. Suffolk County’s sandy soil drains quickly, so we use slow-release formulations that feed gradually rather than washing away with the first heavy rain. We also adjust nitrogen levels based on your grass type and how much foot traffic your lawn receives.

Do you provide lawn aeration services in Shirley?

Yes, we offer core aeration services, which are particularly important for Shirley lawns due to our soil conditions and climate. Aeration involves removing small plugs of soil to reduce compaction and improve water and nutrient absorption. Most lawns benefit from annual aeration in early fall, though heavily used areas might need it twice yearly. The process looks messy for about a week as the soil plugs break down, but the improvement in lawn health is significant. We typically recommend combining aeration with overseeding for maximum benefit.

How much does professional lawn care cost in Shirley?

Lawn care pricing depends on property size, service frequency, and specific needs, but most Shirley residential properties range from $40-80 per visit for basic mowing and maintenance. Seasonal services like fertilization and aeration are priced separately. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Many clients find the cost comparable to what they were spending on gas, equipment maintenance, and their own time, but with much better results and zero weekend commitment.

What happens if you can't make it due to weather?

We don’t mow wet grass because it damages both the lawn and our equipment, and creates an uneven cut. If weather prevents us from servicing your property on the scheduled day, we’ll reschedule for the next available day and let you know via text or email. During extended rainy periods, we may need to adjust cutting height to handle faster growth when we return. You’re never charged for missed visits due to weather, and we don’t try to make up time by rushing through your property when conditions improve.

Can you work around my schedule and property features?

Absolutely. We work around parked cars, outdoor furniture, kids’ toys, and other obstacles without issue. Most clients prefer we service while they’re at work, but we can accommodate specific timing requests when possible. We’re careful around flower beds, vegetable gardens, and delicate plantings. If you have pets, we can work around their outdoor time or specific areas they use. Just let us know about any special considerations during our initial consultation, and we’ll note them for our crew.
