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 ISA-certified arborist provides 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.

Penn State Extension advises aerating in cool weather, late summer to early fall or early to mid-spring, and fall is the better time to overseed, because spring aeration can bring up weed seeds. That matters most on Mt. Lebanon’s compacted, graded lots. Check out our blog post on lawn aeration and overseeding for more information. We also have a helpful Pittsburgh Lawn & Landscape Guide, which features a calendar showing our service schedule as well as other tips and resources.

Japanese beetle grubs are a recurring issue in South Hills lawns. Penn State Extension notes that they hatch from eggs laid in July and August and feed on roots into fall, then again in spring. Our preventive treatment is timed to protect roots before the new brood hatches. Check out our blog post on grubs for more in-depth information.

Yes. Many Mt. Lebanon homeowners expand their landscapes with outdoor living areas such as paver patios, fire pits, or seating walls. We integrate these features seamlessly with planting plans and drainage design for year-round function and beauty. Check out our blog post on planning patios, walls, and outdoor living spaces 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.

Yes. Much of Mt. Lebanon sits on Guernsey soil, which has a slow-draining clay subsoil, and graded lots are often compacted, so it requires a careful approach. We recommend starting with a soil test, then we use double-pass lawn aeration, proper drainage design, and customized fertilization to relieve compaction and encourage healthy root growth.

Definitely. We use grass blends that tolerate deep shade, modify fertilizer programs for limited sunlight, and can coordinate selective pruning to maintain both turf and tree health.

Yes. We offer organic and hybrid lawn care options. Our organic program uses all-natural organic fertilizer, and you can add weed and insect control to it for a hybrid approach. You’ll find organic fertilization and its add-ons on our lawn and landscape pricing page.
