Hear from Our Customers
Your lawn gets the consistent care it needs to stay thick, green, and healthy year-round. No more patchy spots where you missed fertilizing. No more uneven cuts because your mower blade was dull. No more wondering if you’re watering too much or too little.
You get your weekends back to spend with family instead of pushing a mower around in the heat. Your neighbors notice the difference, and so does your property value.
The best part? You never have to think about it. We show up when scheduled, do the work right, and keep you updated on what’s happening with your property.
We’ve been taking care of Suffolk County properties for years. We understand Long Island’s unique challenges—the sandy soil that drains too fast in some spots, the clay that holds too much water in others, and the salt air that stresses your grass.
We’re the local crew that actually shows up when we say we will. Fully licensed and insured, because that matters when someone’s working on your biggest investment. We live here too, so your property’s success is our reputation.
Most of our customers started with just lawn care and now trust us with everything from tree work to seasonal cleanups. That’s what happens when you do the work right the first time.
First, we come out and look at your property. Not just a quick glance—we check your soil, look at drainage, note any problem areas, and talk about what you want your lawn to look like.
Then we create a maintenance plan that fits your property and your budget. Weekly mowing during growing season, fertilizing when your grass actually needs it, and seasonal treatments that make sense for Miller Place’s climate.
Every visit, we handle the cutting, edging, and cleanup. We check for issues like disease or pest problems and let you know what we find. You get updates on what we did and what’s coming next, so you’re never surprised.

Regular mowing and edging keeps your lawn looking sharp every week during growing season. We adjust cutting height based on grass type and weather conditions—higher in summer heat, shorter in fall to prevent disease.
Seasonal fertilizing gives your grass the nutrients it needs when it can actually use them. Spring feeding for growth, summer treatments for stress tolerance, and fall applications to build root strength for winter.
Miller Place’s coastal location means salt spray and sandy soil create unique challenges. We handle soil testing, pH adjustments, and overseeding with grass varieties that thrive in our specific conditions. Plus weed control that targets the invasive species common to Suffolk County.
Most Miller Place lawns need cutting every 7-10 days during peak growing season, typically May through September. The exact timing depends on your grass type and how much rain we get.
Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass grow fastest in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. During hot July and August weeks, growth slows down and you might stretch to 10-12 days between cuts.
We adjust the schedule based on actual growth, not just the calendar. Some weeks your grass barely grows, other weeks it takes off after a good rain. Flexible scheduling means you pay for cuts when you need them, not when some arbitrary schedule says so.
Suffolk County has incredibly varied soil conditions, sometimes within the same property. You might have sandy soil that drains too fast in your front yard and clay that holds water in the back.
The sandy areas common near the coast drain nutrients quickly, so fertilizer gets washed away before grass roots can absorb it. Clay sections stay soggy after rain, creating perfect conditions for fungal diseases and root rot.
Salt spray from the ocean adds another layer of stress, especially on properties within a few miles of the water. We test soil pH and adjust our treatment programs based on what your specific property needs, not some generic Long Island approach.
Early spring treatments usually start in March when soil temperatures hit 50 degrees consistently. That’s when pre-emergent herbicides work best to prevent crabgrass and other annual weeds from germinating.
First fertilizer application comes in mid-April once grass starts actively growing. Too early and you’re feeding weeds instead of grass. Too late and you miss the spring growth window.
Fall is actually more important than spring for Long Island lawns. September and October treatments build root strength for winter and help grass recover from summer stress. Most people skip fall care, but that’s when your lawn really needs attention to look good next year.
Most Miller Place properties run $80-150 per visit for mowing and basic maintenance, depending on lot size and complexity. Quarter-acre suburban lots typically fall around $100-120 per visit.
Seasonal programs that include fertilizing, weed control, and treatments usually add $400-800 per year, depending on your lawn’s condition and what it needs. Properties with irrigation, extensive landscaping, or problem areas cost more.
We price every property individually after looking at your specific situation. Steep slopes, tight spaces around plantings, and extra services like leaf removal affect the final number. You get an exact quote upfront, not some generic estimate that changes later.
Tall fescue handles Miller Place conditions better than most grass types. It tolerates salt spray, stays green longer in summer heat, and doesn’t need as much water as other cool-season grasses.
Fine fescue works well in shady areas under trees where other grasses struggle. It’s lower maintenance and more drought tolerant, but doesn’t handle heavy foot traffic as well as tall fescue.
Avoid Kentucky bluegrass unless you’re willing to water constantly and deal with summer dormancy. It looks beautiful when conditions are perfect, but Miller Place’s sandy soil and salt air create too much stress for most bluegrass varieties to thrive long-term.
Yes, we offer organic and eco-friendly lawn care programs that work well in Miller Place’s coastal environment. Organic treatments take longer to show results but create healthier soil and stronger grass over time.
Compost-based fertilizers feed soil microbes that help grass roots absorb nutrients more efficiently. Organic pre-emergents like corn gluten meal prevent weeds without synthetic chemicals, though timing is more critical than with conventional products.
Many Miller Place customers choose hybrid programs—organic soil building with targeted conventional treatments for specific problems like grub damage or stubborn weeds. We customize the approach based on your lawn’s needs and your family’s preferences for chemical use.
