Lawn Fertilization and Weed Control Pittsburgh

Lush, green thick turf, that is our goal. Your lawn is your playground. It’s your park where you play ball games, enjoy barbecue and the kids run with bare feet.

Dream Greener’s fertilization and weed control service will improve the health, color and density of your lawn.  Our plan is tailored to our specific Pittsburgh climate and geographic conditions.

Gorgeous green grass provides many benefits:

  • Lawns are a living organism that produce oxygen, which has a major impact on making the earth habitable.
  • Dust and smoke in the air is trapped on grass blades which work as an air cleaner.
  • Noise is absorbed by grass and it cuts down on excessive sound.
  • Grass can control erosion of soil by water.
  • Turf reduces environmental heat and provides a cooling effect.
  • Green spaces improve wellness and reduce stress

Fertilizing Your Lawn

Fertilization is an essential part of turf care. Most soils lack the nutrients necessary for a lawn to thrive. A well fertilized lawn is healthier and greener, and it’s also better at preventing weed corruption.  Disruptions such as drought and disease take their toll, and a healthy turf is better able to withstand these attacks.

Fertilizer is made up of three major ingredients:

  1. Nitrogen- makes grass grow and makes grass greener
  2. Phosphorus- stimulates root growth and seedling development
  3. Potassium- increases disease and drought tolerance

These three components are listed in the form of Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium in numerical correlation by the amount of each. For example 10-10-10 would be a balanced food with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Fertilizer must be applied at the proper time with the correct amount and Dream Greener’s professionals are here to help you.

Weed Control in South Hills and Surrounding Areas

Weeds are an unsightly detraction from the beautiful landscape you desire.  Our weed control program will help eliminate unsightly aggressive weeds.

Dream Greener uses both pre-emergent and post-emergent applications to control weeds. We will apply weed control at the appropriate times to keep these unsightly plants from popping up in your landscaping.

The Use of Herbicides

Hand pulling weeds in turf could take days, and some weeds cannot be controlled by hand pulling because of the underground structures left behind. Herbicides are helpful. Our weed controls are pre-emergent, which prevents the germination of weeds and post-emergent which target growing weeds.

Your turf will improve with from Dream Greener’s tailored care and treatment plan. Ask your Dream Greener service professionals to help you determine the appropriate mowing and watering program to ensure optimum results from your treatment program.

Reviews

The Dream Greener crews have cleared the snow and ice off my driveway for three years now. They've always done a great job and are always timely. The emails they send to communicate the plan for snow removal for each storm are always appreciated and if they come in the middle of the night (as they often do) I've always wondered how they get the work done without waking me. Additionally, this company has taken care of my yard maintenance for four years. This includes mowing, edging, maintenance of the planting beds (including mulching) and leaf removal. Always a great job, always show up when they say they are going to and never a problem. I rarely write reviews, but this is a company worth recommending and I so so highly.

We recently contacted Dream Greener to do some grading and reseeding work. Additionally, we had drainage installed around our shed. This company was very responsive and pleasant each time I contacted them. Jon came out to take a look at the property and talk with me regarding our needs and then quickly sent us an estimate. The price was very similar to other companies we had give us an estimate. On the day of the work, Jon came out with the crew and walked through the plan. The team worked diligently the entire day and tidied everything up when they left. Jon followed up to make sure that I was satisfied with the work done. A follow up email was sent to provide us with watering instructions for our newly seeded areas. Now I am tending to my "baby grass." We are very happy with the work; the yard already looks so much better. We are already thinking about additional projects to have them help out with!

Our landscaping beds were a mess. Dream Greener came out to evaluate the situation, made some suggestions for alternative approaches, and broke down the proposal into sections so that we could do the pieces we could afford. While not the lowest, their prices were very competitive, but, more importantly, both the service and the outcome were superior. People actually stop at our house to tell how terrific our landscaping looks. I've never had THAT happen before.

I don't leave many reviews for businesses, but this one is worth the exception. Over the past four years I've had some fairly disappointing interactions with a number of landscaping companies. Missed appointments, poor communication, subpar work.. the list goes on.Dream Greener is absolutely amazing. Even compared to other excellent companies, I think they really manage to stand out. They follow up 100% of the time, when they say they will. If you have scheduled services performed (I do- mowing and basic grass upkeep), they show up on time, work quickly and the product is excellent. On at least one occasion, I didn't even realize they were there- Lawn Ninjas!Moreover, when they do additional work (for example, using a weed killer) they leave a note detailing the work performed and any additional care items. If you have scheduled work, they keep you in the loop as to when the work will be performed, and then send you reminders immediately before. The kicker in all of this is: They are priced very competitively. They're also very honest about their pricing- when quoting some work they even suggested that I might be better off working with another business for the work and provided a referral. I highly recommend!

We had several companies come out for estimates and design. We decided on Dream Greener because of their professionalism, customer service, great attitude, and pictures/reviews of the work completed.The children and I were out when the work was completed and my little girl was mesmerized. She said it was a princess yard now! My wife drove past the house a few times just to admire the work. In one day I've had 4 neighbors ask about the work, and multiple compliments on the pictures we posted. We are in the process of moving (we had scheduled the landscaping prior to finding a new house) and when we move I will be using them to landscape the new house. We couldn't be more pleased with the work and with the care they gave to our home.

I've used Dream Greener to handle my complex and expansive landscaping for two years running now. They do an amazing job with all the bushes, trees, shrubs and flower beds. They are always professional, cost-effective and I wouldn't go with anyone else!

We started using the Dream Greener crew not long after we moved into our home. Over the last ten months our lawn has made incredible improvements thanks to the wonderful job the crew does every week. It's absolutely one of the best lawns on the block now. They are extremely clean and efficient and take very good care of our property. Based on the great job they do, we are planning to use them for some other landscape work that we need done. I highly recommend them for any lawn care and maintenance jobs.

We built a home and the lawn they gave us was awful. Jon and I mapped out a plan and knew it would take 12-18 months. We are now 36 months in and out yard is spectacular! Thanks Jon!!

We had an incredible experience with the entire Dream Greener staff on our recent project in June of 2018. With a larger scale job, we relied on their expertise in both the design and creation of our entire front yard landscaping. We were very pleased with the outcome and the efficient work of the team. The Dream Greener staff did more in a morning than I could have possibly done in an entire summer. Thanks again for your top notch service.

Wow! We just had Dream Greener install a completely new landscape around our entire house last week. It is absolutely gorgeous! Our neighbors even ran over as soon as the job was finished to tell us how beautiful it is. Our job involved a lot of work too, since we had stones instead of mulch. Everything had to be pulled up and taken away. The crew got the entire job done in less than 2 full days, absolutely amazing work. I would highly recommend their services, we couldn't be more pleased and impressed!

Great company! Very reliable and they always call back quickly if I miss them in the office. Maria does a great job answering my questions and the crew always shows up with a smile when they mow my lawn. I've contracted Dream Greener for a year now and it was one of the best decisions I've made. They mow my lawn, mulch the flower beds, plant new flowers, and trim my shrubs. They always do a great job, I highly recommend them!

I've been a customer for 3 years and each year their team's responsible and efficient work amazes me! Jon always keeps in touch and makes sure that I am happy with the work. I had them install a landscape 2 years ago (and they touch it up) and I still get compliments from people about it! I highly recommend you try them out

John and his team at dream greener are amazing. I went through no less than 6 landscaping companies before I came Upon dream greener. I do not have an irrigation system but my lawn looks as good as the neighbours that have sprinklers. I would highly recommend dream greener to anyone who wants to have the best looking lawn and landscape in their neighbourhood.

Oh My Goodness!!! What an amazing job done on our property yesterday. I have to keep going outside to marvel at the difference!!! Thank you. Thank you. This company does what it says. I’ve had previous landscaping services and NO ONE did the beautiful job that they company has done—-and the icing on the cake is the fair price that they charge.
