Arborvitae hedges are a popular choice for privacy across Mt. Lebanon and the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Selecting a deer-resistant variety and planting it correctly are the first steps to long-term success—but consistent watering and monitoring are just as important.

If your arborvitae begins to brown, it’s often a sign of overwatering or underwatering. Check the soil a few inches below the mulch layer: if it’s dry, increase watering; if it’s soggy, reduce it to prevent root rot. Our certified arborists provide expert guidance on watering schedules, soil management, and long-term plant health. Through our customized Tree and Plant Health Protection Program, we’ll help your hedge stay vibrant, resilient, and beautiful year after year.

According to Penn State Extension, the best time is early September through early October. This allows recovery before winter while soil moisture is ideal which is especially important for Mt. Lebanon’s compacted clay. Check out our blog post on lawn aeration and overseeding for more information.

The beautiful, tree-lined streets of Mt. Lebanon provide ample shade, but they also create perfect conditions for moss to thrive. Moss develops where soil stays damp, sunlight is limited, and pH levels are too acidic for healthy turf growth. When these conditions persist, moss can quickly outcompete grass and spread across shaded lawns.

Our lawn care specialists identify and correct these issues at the source. We can collect and submit soil samples from your property to Penn State’s diagnostic lab, then recommend precise adjustments to restore balance. With proper aeration, pH correction, and improved drainage, your lawn can recover its density and stay healthy season after season.
