Your neighbors notice the difference first. The grass stays thick and green through Long Island’s unpredictable weather. No more patchy spots where the sandy soil shows through.
You get your weekends back. No more rushing to mow before the next rainstorm or wondering if you’re fertilizing at the right time. The guesswork disappears.
Your property value reflects the care. When everything’s maintained consistently by people who understand Suffolk County’s growing conditions, it shows. The curb appeal speaks for itself.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been maintaining Suffolk County properties for years. We understand what works in Mastic’s sandy soil and what doesn’t.
We’re fully licensed and insured, which matters when you’re trusting someone with your property. We’ve seen every type of lawn problem Long Island throws at homeowners.
Local ownership means we’re invested in the community. When your lawn looks good, the whole neighborhood benefits. We’re not disappearing after one season.
First, we assess your specific lawn conditions. Sandy soil, shade patterns, drainage issues – everything that affects how your grass grows in Mastic gets noted.
Then comes the customized treatment plan. Not every lawn needs the same approach, especially with Suffolk County’s varied microclimates and soil conditions.
The maintenance schedule fits your property’s needs and your preferences. Some lawns need weekly attention during growing season, others can go longer. We adjust based on what actually works, not what looks good on paper.
Communication stays clear throughout. You know when we’re coming, what we’re doing, and why it matters for your specific lawn conditions.

Grass cutting services go beyond basic mowing. Our equipment handles Mastic’s sandy soil without scalping or creating ruts. Blade height adjusts for seasonal growth patterns.
Seasonal lawn maintenance addresses Long Island’s specific challenges. Spring cleanup after harsh winters, summer drought protection, fall preparation for salt air and snow load.
Lawn treatment includes fertilization timing that works with Suffolk County’s growing season. The sandy soil here drains fast, so nutrient application needs different scheduling than other areas.
Landscape maintenance covers the details that make the difference. Edging, debris removal, and addressing problem areas before they spread across your entire lawn.
Most Mastic lawns need cutting every 7-10 days during peak growing season, typically May through September. This changes based on rainfall, temperature, and your specific grass type.
Sandy soil drains quickly here, so grass growth can be inconsistent. Some weeks you’ll need cutting, others the lawn barely grows. Professional services adjust the schedule based on actual conditions, not arbitrary weekly visits.
The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade length at once. This keeps your lawn healthy even during Suffolk County’s unpredictable weather patterns.
Sandy soil requires more frequent, lighter fertilizer applications because nutrients wash through quickly. Heavy applications waste money and can burn grass in this soil type.
Organic matter additions help sandy soil retain moisture and nutrients. Compost topdressing in spring and fall builds soil structure over time. This is especially important in coastal areas like Mastic.
Timing matters more here than in other soil types. Early spring feeding before the growing season, summer applications during active growth, and fall preparation for winter stress all need different approaches in sandy conditions.
Winter preparation starts in fall with proper fertilization and final cutting at the right height. Too short leaves grass vulnerable to salt damage and freeze injury common in Suffolk County.
Snow mold prevention requires good drainage and avoiding heavy foot traffic on frozen grass. Mastic’s coastal location means more freeze-thaw cycles that can damage unprepared lawns.
Spring recovery depends on winter preparation. Lawns that enter winter healthy bounce back faster from salt exposure, snow load, and temperature fluctuations that define Long Island winters.
Pricing depends on property size, service frequency, and specific treatments needed. Most residential properties in Mastic range from basic cutting services to comprehensive maintenance programs.
Transparent pricing means no surprises. You know upfront what each service costs and when payments are due. Hidden fees and surprise charges don’t happen with reputable local companies.
Seasonal packages often provide better value than individual services. Spring cleanup, regular maintenance, and fall preparation bundled together typically costs less than booking services separately throughout the year.
Licensed and insured status protects your property. Any company working on your lawn should carry proper insurance and local licensing. This isn’t optional – it’s basic protection for homeowners.
Local experience with Mastic’s specific conditions matters more than general lawn care knowledge. Companies that understand sandy soil, salt air, and Suffolk County’s climate provide better results.
References from nearby properties tell the real story. Look for companies that maintain lawns you actually see and admire in your neighborhood, not just good online reviews from unknown locations.
Early spring timing depends on soil temperature, not calendar dates. Mastic’s coastal location means growing season can start earlier or later than inland areas, depending on winter conditions.
Soil temperature around 55 degrees consistently signals the start of active growth. This typically happens in April in Suffolk County, but can vary by several weeks based on winter weather patterns.
Starting services before active growth begins allows for proper spring cleanup and early season treatments. Waiting until grass is actively growing means missing the window for optimal spring preparation and early problem prevention.
