Easy, Affordable Lawn Care Services in Pittsburgh
Mild summers and snowy winters mean keeping your Pittsburgh lawn healthy and lush can be a challenge. If you need help keeping your turf looking terrific, check out these tips from LawnStarter. And if you just want us to take care of it all for you, we can do that too! Our pros offer everything from routine lawn care to hardscaping to tree trimming.
Lawn Care Services We Offer: At the very least, we mow, edge, and trim your lawn. If you'd like more in depth services, we'll fertilize, aerate, dethatch, and apply weed control. We also lay sod, plant flowers, identify and treat lawn diseases and pests, and keep your bushes trimmed. Need a fall or spring lawn cleanup? We do that too. If your lawn needs it, we'll do it.
Best Grass Types: Cool-season grasses are the right choice for Pittsburgh lawns. Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, and fine fescue are all excellent choices.
Common Lawn Pests: Crane flies, chinch bugs, white grubs, moles, Japanese beetles, mole crickets, caterpillars, fire ants, leaf miners, and slugs are the most common lawn pests found here. They feed on the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers in your lawn and can eventually kill your grass if left untreated.
Spring Lawn Care Tips for Pittsburgh: When the weather starts to warm up, it's important to clean your lawn of any leftover yard debris from the winter. Dethatching is a great idea too, because it will get rid of the thick layer of grass underneath and allow healthy new grass to grow. Next, weed and feed. Pull any weeds you see popping up from the root, apply weed killer if you'd like, and then use a slow-release fertilizer to encourage nutrient absorption. Finally, tune up the lawn mower and get cutting. Keep your grass 2-4 inches high, and remember to never cut more than one-third of the grass's height at once.
Summer Lawn Care Tips for Pittsburgh: Once your lawn is strong again after you've completed your spring lawn care routine, keep an eye on any brown or bald patches that may pop up and reseed as needed. Water your lawn deeply, but infrequently from around 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Don't cut your grass too short; keeping it a little longer will allow it to absorb more sun, nutrients, and water, and it also allows the roots to grow deeper.
