The Pick & Shovel | Qualified Landscaping in Pittsburgh, PA

Dead patches in Pittsburgh lawns are often caused by compacted soil, fungal diseases common in our humid climate, or improper watering. The Pick & Shovel's lawn care program starts with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve root growth, followed by targeted treatments and a balanced fertilization schedule suited to our local soil. We diagnose the specific cause and implement a recovery plan to bring your entire lawn back to a lush, uniform green.
