Professional Landscape Installation
to Bring Your Outdoor Dreams to Life in Mt. Lebanon, PA, and the Surrounding Pittsburgh Area
Durable, High-Quality Construction That Brings Your Landscape Vision to Life
Your landscape installation determines how you will use and enjoy your outdoor space for years to come. Every feature must be chosen and built with intention, from patios and walkways to retaining walls, plant beds, and functional drainage. In Mt. Lebanon and the Pittsburgh South Hills, where clay soils, steep terrain, mature trees, and architectural styles create unique challenges, professional installation ensures your project is beautiful, safe, and long lasting.
At Dream Greener Lawn & Landscape, our landscape installation services combine craftsmanship, science, and precise planning. We help homeowners throughout Mt. Lebanon, Bethel Park, Upper St. Clair, South Fayette Township, and the greater Pittsburgh area select the right materials and features for their homes. Whether you are updating a front entry, expanding your outdoor living space, or transforming your entire landscape, our experienced crews build every project with care and technical accuracy.
We are proud members of the National Association of Landscape Professionals, which reflects our commitment to national safety standards, industry ethics, and best practices in construction. With more than 150 five-star Google reviews and more than a decade of experience, our team brings skill, professionalism, and reliable communication to every project.
Our Landscape Installation Services
Your installation begins with a consultation to understand your project goals and confirm that our team is the right fit. If so, we schedule a Dream Meeting where we discuss your project in detail, walk your property, evaluate slopes and drainage, and offer recommendations based on your needs, long-term plans, and maintenance expectations.
When construction begins, our crews arrive on time, respect your property, and provide updates throughout the project. We follow an analytical, science-based approach that considers soil structure, grading, compaction, and material durability to ensure every feature is installed correctly.
- In-House Nursery and Bulk Material Storage
Dream Greener is one of the few landscaping companies in the region with its own nursery and stocked inventory of trees, shrubs, flowers, soil, seed, mulch, stone, and hardscape materials. This ensures that we can supply many of the plants and materials used in your installation without delays or reliance on outside vendors. This advantage improves efficiency, maintains quality control, and accelerates project timelines. - Patios, Walkways, and Hardscapes
We install stone, paver, and concrete patios, walkways, seating walls, and outdoor living features. These hardscaping elements create functional spaces for gathering, dining, and relaxing. Our craftsmen follow industry best practices for base depth, compaction, and leveling to ensure long-term stability. - Retaining Walls and Structural Elements
Many South Hills properties require retaining walls to manage slopes, expand usable space, or support plant beds. Our team installs structural walls using block, stone, and boulder materials with precise engineering and proper drainage. - Planting Beds and Trees
Plant installation requires proper soil preparation, placement, spacing, and long-term planning. We select plant materials based on sunlight, soil type, drainage, root competition, and your aesthetic preferences. - Drainage and Grading
Effective drainage is essential for protecting your investment. We install swales, French drains, catch basins, regrading solutions, and other systems to ensure water flows safely away from your structures and landscape features.
Many homeowners pair their installation with landscape design services or follow-up care through our full-service landscape maintenance program. Our plant health care and lawn care programs also support the long-term success of your new landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Landscape Installation
in Mt. Lebanon and Pittsburgh
Here are some common questions we get asked about landscape installation. If you have a question you’d like answered, please get in touch with us today!
Costs vary based on scope, materials, terrain, site grading, drainage requirements, and outdoor living features like patios or walls. Small projects may start at a few thousand dollars, while full-property transformations with hardscapes and lighting can range much higher. A Dream Meeting allows us to build an accurate, customized investment range.
Spring and early fall are ideal for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials, as mild temperatures support root establishment. Hardscaping, grading, and drainage work can often be completed throughout most of the year, weather permitting. Read more about how fall is a great time to plan landscaping projects in our blog.
Many South Hills properties feature dense clay and compacted subsoil. Native and adaptable plants such as hydrangea, boxwood, red maple, dogwood, and ornamental grasses perform well when installed with proper soil amendment, drainage preparation, and planting technique.
Ground preparation includes excavation, removal of unstable soil, installing a crushed stone base, compaction, grading, drainage planning, and bed shaping. Proper foundation work is critical to prevent settling, erosion, and freeze–thaw damage.
In South Hills landscapes, we frequently install French drains, swales, catch basins, infiltration trenches, downspout redirect systems, and grading adjustments to manage runoff, protect foundations, and prevent erosion or pooling.
Yes. We use retaining walls, terraces, slope reinforcement, proper plant selection, and engineered drainage solutions to create usable outdoor space, stabilize soil, and prevent erosion on hillside properties.
Some projects require permits, especially those involving structural retaining walls over 3–4 feet, major grading, utility adjustments, or drainage system additions. We handle all permit design, engineering support, and municipal coordination.
Projects range from a few days to several weeks depending on size, access, engineering needs, drainage work, plant material, and outdoor living features. Weather and soil conditions can also affect installation timelines.
We frequently install patios, walkways, seating walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, lighting, planting beds, water features, and integrated drainage systems for a complete functional and aesthetic outdoor space.
Freeze–thaw expansion can cause hardscape shifting, cracking, or heaving if improperly built. Proper excavation, drainage layers, base construction, and material selection are essential to protect your investment.
Native plants are adapted to the local climate, soil, and rainfall patterns. They are often more drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and resilient to local pests and diseases, making them ideal for long-term sustainability. Read more about native plantings on the Penn State Extension website.
Yes. Newly installed plants require proper watering, mulch application, monitoring for stress, and possibly deer protection. We provide establishment care instructions and offer plant health and maintenance programs.
Yes. We install drip irrigation, smart sprinkler systems, and moisture-managed watering solutions to support plant health and reduce ongoing maintenance.
Can existing landscaping be refreshed, expanded, or redesigned?
Yes. We can renovate existing beds, replace outdated plants, expand hardscapes, improve drainage, and redesign worn or failing areas to better suit your goals and the property’s terrain.
