Lawn Installation & Seeding Services Pittsburgh, PA
Whether you need an entire new lawn for your new construction home, or just part of your lawn repaired after a recent project, we can get your yard to come in full and green. Our lawn improvement projects involve bringing in quality topsoil and spreading a premium seed mixture of Kentucky Blue Grass and Tall Fescue. New seed is covered with mushroom manure or straw depending on the application.
Sod Installation & Sod Delivery Pittsburgh
Sod is a great way to have a perfect and full lawn on the first day. We get our sod directly from the farm and can do your project in rolls of sod or sod pieces depending on access. It is still very important to water your new sod multiple times per day to get the roots to grow into the sub soil.
Overseeding & Lawn Repair Services
Over time, patchiness and bare spots can develop in an established lawn through wear and changes in the shadiness or drainage. In cases where the surrounding lawn is salvageable, we lightly rototill bare areas of the lawn and then mix in new soil and seed. If the yard has been infiltrated with weeds, we can remove the existing lawn and start fresh.
Lawn Installation FAQs
Should I choose seed or sod for my new lawn?
+
Sod gives you an instant lawn but costs more. Seed is more economical for large areas and offers more grass variety options, but takes 2-3 weeks to establish. We'll recommend the best option based on your timeline, budget, and site conditions.
When is the best time to install a new lawn in Pittsburgh?
+
Fall (late August through October) is ideal - cooler temperatures, more rain, and fewer weeds competing with new grass. Spring (April-May) is the second best window. We can install sod almost year-round when ground isn't frozen.
How much does lawn installation cost?
+
Costs depend on size, soil prep needed, and seed vs. sod. Seeded lawns typically run $0.50-$1.50 per square foot; sod runs $1.50-$3.00 per square foot including installation. We provide free estimates for accurate pricing.
How long until I can use my new lawn?
+
For seeded lawns, stay off until the first mowing (about 4-6 weeks). Sod can handle light foot traffic after 2-3 weeks once roots establish. Full use for both typically comes after 6-8 weeks with proper watering.
Do you remove the old lawn before installing?
+
Yes, we remove existing grass and weeds, grade the soil properly, add topsoil if needed, and ensure good drainage before seeding or sodding. Proper prep is essential for a lawn that lasts.
