Kapp's Green Lawn - Pittsburgh's Best Landscapers

Our core lawn care program is built on the slow-release granular fertilization methods Larry Kapps pioneered, specifically tailored for our regional soil and weather patterns. It includes a full season of fertilization to promote deep root growth, targeted weed control to manage common local invaders, and insect control to protect against grubs and other pests. We also offer lawn seeding to repair thin or bare spots, helping your lawn become thicker and more resistant to the stressors common in our area.

Absolutely. Poor grading that leads to standing water or erosion can severely stress trees and contribute to dead lawn areas. Our tree care services include assessing how drainage affects your trees' root systems. We can provide solutions like strategic pruning to reduce canopy weight on wet soil, soil aeration to improve water penetration, and recommendations for adjusting landscape grading to protect your tree's health and stabilize the surrounding lawn.

Dead patches here are often caused by a combination of factors common to our area: compacted clay soil, fungal diseases favored by humidity, insect damage from grubs, or poor water runoff due to grading. We start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the specific cause—whether it's a pest, disease, or soil issue. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, targeted treatments for the identified problem, and overseeding with grass varieties suited to recover and thrive in Pittsburgh's conditions.
