You’ll have the lawn that looks intentional. The one that stays green when others turn brown. The one that handles Long Island’s unpredictable weather without the stress.
No more weekends spent fighting weeds or wondering if you’re fertilizing at the right time. No more comparing your patchy grass to the house down the street. Just consistent results from people who understand Suffolk County’s soil and seasonal challenges.
Your property value increases. Your curb appeal improves. And you get your time back for things that actually matter to you.
Rolling Hills Property Services has been maintaining properties across Suffolk County for years, learning what works in Stony Brook’s specific conditions. We’re not the crew that shows up with a one-size-fits-all approach.
We understand how the sandy soil affects drainage. We know when the salt air impacts your grass health. We’ve seen what happens when you apply treatments at the wrong time of year—and we know how to prevent those problems.
Licensed, insured, and locally owned. We live here too, which means we care about doing right by our neighbors. When we say we’ll show up, we show up. When we quote a price, that’s what you pay.
We start with an assessment of your property’s specific needs. Every lawn in Stony Brook faces different challenges—drainage issues, shade patterns, soil conditions, or pest problems. We identify what’s actually happening before we touch anything.
Next, we create a maintenance plan that makes sense for your schedule and budget. This isn’t about selling you services you don’t need. It’s about addressing the real issues and preventing new ones from developing.
Then we execute consistently. Regular mowing, seasonal treatments, and proactive care that keeps your lawn healthy through Long Island’s weather extremes. You’ll know when we’re coming, what we’re doing, and why it matters. No surprises, no excuses, no drama.

Our lawn care in Stony Brook, NY includes everything your property needs to stay healthy year-round. Regular grass cutting with professional equipment that doesn’t scalp or damage your turf. Seasonal lawn maintenance timed specifically for Long Island’s climate patterns.
We handle fertilization when your soil actually needs it—not when some corporate schedule says to apply it. Weed control that targets the specific invasive species common in Suffolk County. Aeration and overseeding to address the compaction issues that plague our sandy soils.
Our lawn treatment extends beyond the obvious. We watch for pest issues, drainage problems, and disease signs that most homeowners miss until it’s expensive to fix. Our landscape maintenance approach prevents problems instead of just reacting to them.
Most lawns in Stony Brook need mowing every 7-10 days during the growing season, which typically runs from April through October. However, this varies based on your grass type, rainfall, and fertilization schedule.
Cool-season grasses like fescue and bluegrass grow more aggressively in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. During summer heat, growth slows and you might stretch mowing to every two weeks. We adjust our schedule based on actual growth patterns, not arbitrary calendar dates.
The key is never cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at once. This prevents stress and keeps your lawn healthier through Long Island’s variable weather conditions.
Most Stony Brook lawns benefit from spring fertilization in early April, summer weed control, fall aeration, and winter preparation treatments. However, your specific needs depend on your soil conditions, grass type, and current lawn health.
Sandy soil common in our area drains quickly but doesn’t hold nutrients well, so we often recommend lighter, more frequent fertilization rather than heavy spring applications. Pre-emergent crabgrass control in early spring prevents major weed issues later.
Fall is crucial here—overseeding thin areas, core aeration to relieve compaction, and late-season fertilization to strengthen roots for winter. We skip treatments that don’t benefit your specific situation and focus on what actually improves your lawn’s health.
Lawn care pricing in Stony Brook varies significantly based on property size, services needed, and frequency of visits. Basic mowing typically ranges from $50-150 per visit for average residential properties, while comprehensive programs including treatments run $150-400 monthly during growing season.
We provide transparent pricing upfront—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Annual contracts often offer better value than per-visit pricing, especially if you need regular maintenance plus seasonal treatments like fertilization and weed control.
The real cost consideration is what happens without professional care. Lawn renovation after neglect costs significantly more than preventive maintenance. We focus on keeping your lawn healthy rather than selling you expensive recovery services later.
Early spring is ideal for starting comprehensive lawn care in Stony Brook—typically late March or early April when soil temperatures reach 50 degrees consistently. This timing allows for pre-emergent treatments before weeds germinate and sets up your lawn for healthy growth all season.
However, we can start effective maintenance any time of year. Fall is actually excellent for beginning service, as cooler temperatures and fall rains create optimal conditions for grass recovery and root development. Winter planning allows us to address drainage issues and prepare for spring growth.
The worst time to start is during summer stress periods—July and August when heat and humidity put maximum strain on grass. If you contact us during peak summer, we’ll focus on keeping your lawn alive and plan major improvements for fall or the following spring.
Yes, we’re familiar with the common lawn pests and weeds that thrive in Suffolk County’s climate and soil conditions. Crabgrass, dandelions, and clover are persistent issues here, while grubs, chinch bugs, and fungal diseases can cause significant damage if not addressed properly.
Our approach combines preventive treatments with targeted solutions. Pre-emergent herbicides applied in early spring prevent most annual weeds from establishing. For existing problems, we use selective treatments that eliminate weeds without harming your grass.
Pest management requires understanding local conditions—when grubs are active, how salt air affects plant health, and which fungal diseases develop during our humid summers. We monitor your lawn regularly and address issues before they become expensive problems requiring complete renovation.
