1. How much does professional beach cleaning cost on Long Island?

The cost varies based on the size of the area, the type of debris (e.g., large stones or heavy accumulation), site logistics, and frequency of service. We offer free on-site estimates for Nassau and Suffolk County property owners to provide an accurate quote. Please note that while debris sifting is our specialty, off-site debris removal is not included but can be arranged. To ensure the highest quality results, we utilize professional tractor-attached sifting models which require adequate clearance and a minimum work area to operate effectively.

2. What is the difference between manual cleaning and mechanical sand sifting?

Manual cleaning (hand-picking) only removes large, visible trash. Our mechanical sifting equipment goes beneath the surface, filtering out hidden hazards like broken glass, cigarette butts, broken shells, stones, and microplastics. It also aerates the sand, which allows sunlight to naturally eliminate bacteria.

3. Can your equipment handle large rocks or deep-buried debris?

Yes. Our specialized machines are designed for "deep sifting." Unlike standard rakes that just groom the surface, our equipment can penetrate several inches into the sand to remove buried rocks, shells, and construction debris left behind after storms or dredging.

4. Will your machines leave tire tracks or damage my property?

Our equipment is specifically chosen to minimize site impact. We use lightweight, low-compaction equipment specifically chosen for delicate coastal environments. Our machines leave a smooth, "manicured" finish without the deep, unsightly tire ruts caused by heavy large tow-behind models. We can even cross lawns or narrow paths to reach your beach with minimal impact.

5. How often should I have my beach cleaned?

For private beach clubs, many clients schedule a "Deep Clean" at the start of the season followed by monthly maintenance. For high-traffic public beaches, resorts, or volleyball courts, we recommend weekly or bi-weekly sifting to ensure the sand remains safe and inviting for guests. For best result and high improvements, multiple sifting will remove additional debris improving the sand’s texture.

6. Do you provide emergency beach cleanup after storms?

Yes. Long Island storms often wash up heavy debris, seaweed, and hazardous materials. Hermann Lindau & Son, Inc. provides rapid response storm restoration to clear your beachfront and get your sand back to pristine condition as quickly as possible.

7. Do you provide hand-cleaning for very small private sand areas?

Our services are specialized for mid-to-large scale projects where mechanical sifting provides the most value. Because we use professional-grade, tractor-attached equipment, we generally cannot service very small, enclosed private sand areas or "backyard" beach patches that lack the clearance for our machinery. We focus on areas where our technology can truly revitalize the sand's health and appearance at scale.
