Healthy, well-defined beds are the foundation of a polished landscape, and bed maintenance is one of the most-requested parts of our program in the Pittsburgh area. We ensure:

Seasonal mulch installation refreshes color, locks in moisture, and insulates roots through the heat of summer and the freeze/thaw cycles of a western Pennsylvania winter.

Over time, foot traffic and Pittsburgh’s clay soils leave a lawn compacted, which keeps air, water, and nutrients from reaching the roots where they are needed. Our team relieves that with core aeration, running a machine across the lawn that pulls small plugs of soil and opens the ground back up so the root system can breathe and take in what it needs. We pair aeration with overseeding, spreading fresh seed so it settles into the open holes and fills the lawn in thicker — which also crowds out weeds before they can take hold the following spring. We schedule this work for late summer into early fall, giving the new grass time to establish and root in before the first frost arrives. The result is a denser, healthier lawn that holds up year-round.

Western Pennsylvania puts two demanding transitions on the calendar every year. Here is how we handle them:

Displays of your favorite annuals or perennials can take your home to the next level. Seeing a bright, beautiful display of flowers in the spring, or mums in the fall can brighten anyone’s day. Work with our talented Team of Installers to design something specific for you. 

Keeping that color looking its best takes ongoing care, not just the initial planting. Many popular flowers — black-eyed Susans, salvia, day lilies, and geraniums among them — rebloom throughout the summer, but as each round of flowers fades, the spent heads are left behind and the plant starts to look tired. As part of our seasonal maintenance, our team deadheads your plantings, cleanly snipping off the dead flower heads so the plant puts its energy back into new blooms. Staying on top of it through the summer keeps your beds full of fresh color rather than fading flowers, and as the season turns, we carry the same attention into cleaning up your shrubs and perennials for fall.

For homeowners who want visible, year-round curb appeal, we design and install seasonal color displays that keep beds looking current all year.

Coordinated plant installation keeps beds full and gives entrances, walkways, and gathering areas a finished, cared-for look no matter the time of year.

Weekly mowing is necessary to keep a well-manicured look. Switching mowing patterns, keeping blades sharp, and ensuring proper technique is imperative to the overall look and health of your Turf. We also offer optional bagging of mowing clippings to keep things clean and neat.

Without a proper fertilization and weed control program for your home, your Turf could become an eyesore. Let our Team provide you with a complimentary soil test and a customized program specific to your property. When you’re playing in the backyard with your kids or dog, roll around in lush, green grass, instead of clover or dandelions. 

• Erosion control – We install erosion control measures – silt socks, silt fences, straw, and tack – to hold vulnerable ground in place before a slope becomes a problem.
• French drain installation – When standing water is an issue, a French drain installation can be the solution, moving water away from your home, beds, and hardscape so it stops undermining the landscape you have invested in.

For clients who want everything handled under one plan, we can also fold routine lawn mowing and lawn fertilization into a broader landscape maintenance program.

The bottom line: These options round out a whole-property approach and keep the entire landscape on one schedule, managed by a crew that already knows your yard inside and out.

We’ve been family-owned in Pittsburgh since 1995, and our local roots make us dedicated to our customers. They’re dedicated to us as well, and the way we communicate is a big part of why homeowners stay with us season after season.

Larger enhancements start with an in-person walk-through of your property, and financing is available for homeowners who want to pair ongoing maintenance with a bigger landscape project.
