Lawn Installation and Establishment
Building a great lawn takes vision, dedication, and hard work – three things we bring to the table in spades. We install new lawns across the Pittsburgh area using methods that actually fit your home, and we take a step back and work to understand your soil composition, the slope of your yard, and sun exposure.
With over 30 years of experience working as a full-service residential landscaping company in Pittsburgh, we have developed proven strategies for any type of yard. Regardless if your home features a steep backyard or a flat front, our team can beautify your property and get the project done on your timeline.
How We Build Lawns
- Grass seed – This is the tried-and-true traditional approach to creating a lawn. It takes a significant timeline for completion, but the long-term economic upside is unmatched. We use regionally appropriate seed blends to match your grass color and the amount of light your yard receives.
- Sod installation – The easiest and quickest way to get an instant lawn update is via sod installation. Our comprehensive process includes professional soil preparation and grading, as well as premium sod selection.
- Hydroseeding – This is a newer technology many homeowners have not yet heard of. We mix grass seed, water, fertilizer, seed mulch, and a bonding agent in a large tank, then spray the mixture to promote grass growth quickly and efficiently.
- Dormant seeding – This approach is ideal for late fall. Seed is sown into cold soil so it lies dormant through winter and germinates the moment the ground warms in spring, putting your lawn ahead of the season.
- Artificial turf – This is an excellent option for lawns with shade-choked areas, high pet activity, and spots where natural grass has not grown.
Fall Landscaping in Pittsburgh
As the air begins to cool and the leaves begin to turn, the soil remains warm and creates the strongest window to seed your lawn or install sod. Your new grass gets an entire season to take root before enduring the summer sun. For homeowners with thin and patchy lawns, your perfect time of the year is right around the corner.
Planting, Beds, and Seasonal Color
Your home is naturally beautiful, and plants, flowers, and neatly maintained beds are what put it over the edge in terms of aesthetics. We make the entire process enjoyable, from designing to sourcing to installation, and then come back to keep everything looking healthy. If you’re looking to give your planters an update, we’re ready to help.
Custom Plant Design and Installation
We’ve got a landscape designer on staff who will supply you with mockups of what your new planters and beds can look like before we arrive on site. During a project, we work with you to select materials that suit not just your taste but also the conditions of your Pittsburgh home. We also consider:
- Proper depth
- Ideal spacing
- Necessary soil prep
This ensures that all the plants and flowers we introduce to your lawn absolutely flourish and spread their beauty around your home.
Mulch Installation
Mulch is more than the finishing touch for planting beds – it also helps lock in moisture, moderate soil temperature, and discourage weeds from popping up.
The Stockman Lawnscape team has three decades of experience to pull from and knows all the ins and outs of Pittsburgh’s lawns. We understand the difficulties of working with sloped yards and homes with tight-access spaces, and we offer both hand and mulch-blower installation, depending on what is right for you and your home.
Seasonal Color
Colorful flora is the best way to accentuate the natural beauty of your home. It’s the little details that will have your neighbors noticing your lawn on their evening walk. All of our recommendations are based on seasonal opportunities, to make sure you get the most color and life out of your plants.
Landscape Management, Enhancement, and Problem-Solving
After you’ve invested time and money into making your lawn and home beautiful, managing it shouldn’t be a chore. We keep your plants healthy and fix the water and soil problems that quietly damage a property year after year, giving you peace of mind all year long. For homeowners who want everything handled start to finish, we also offer ongoing residential landscape maintenance and landscape enhancement.
Plant Health Care
Refreshing your plant beds and giving your property a refined look will ensure your home is the talk of the neighborhood. We offer extensive plant health care and fertilizer programs that feed your lawn and keep it looking healthy, so you don’t have to worry.
Pruning and Trimming
The Stockman Lawnscape team consists of skilled crews who prune both trees and shrubs for both the health of the plant and a pleasing appearance. When we cut, it’s for the plant’s long-term health and shape rather than simply reducing size. Timing and technique matter, and our skilled team is up to the task.
Erosion Control
Bare soil on a slope doesn’t like to stay where it is – in fact, erosion is one of the main issues we get calls about. We install silt socks and fences to stop sediment from moving, then apply straw and tack to hold both the grass seed and soil in place. Don’t let the Pittsburgh rain wash your hard work down the hillside; let Stockman Lawnscape lock it in place.
Drainage Solutions and French Drains
Have you recently walked through your lawn and found soggy areas with standing water? The premier residential landscaping team in Pittsburgh is ready to put an end to it. We design and install French drains and complete drainage systems that move water away from your foundation so it can’t cause damage.
Seasonal and Year-Round Services
Pennsylvania has four very different seasons, each with its own challenges. For residential landscaping in Pittsburgh, make sure you pick the local pros who know the area best – make sure you pick Stockman Lawnscape.
Spring Cleanup
As the winter season finally fades and warmth returns to the air, your property may not be living its best spring life. We clear winter debris, cut back perennials, edge and refresh beds, and get your lawn staged for the growing season.
Fall Cleanup and Comprehensive Leaf Removal
Fall is a favorite season for many, but maybe not for homeowners with large trees on their property. Leaves left on grass block light and invite disease and winter damage. Our fall cleanup goes beyond a simple rake: We handle full leaf removal from lawns, beds, and hard-to-reach corners, along with cutbacks and end-of-season bed work.
Winter Yard Prep
The proper work in November helps prevent damage to your lawn when March rolls around. Winter prep includes:
- Final plant cutbacks
- Protection for vulnerable plantings
- Bed and drainage checks before the freeze-thaw cycle sets in
- A walkthrough of anything that needs attention before the snow flurries take over Pittsburgh
And when the snow does arrive, the same crew you waved to in July offers snow removal to keep your drive and walks safe and usable through the winter.
Weekly Lawn Mowing
The growing season can seem confusing, but not to our trained team, who mow weekly with alternating patterns. The sharp blades of our mowers ensure a dense, healthy lawn and avoid any potential scalping of your yard.
