Pre-season prepayment discounts. Online payment options Special help when you need it. With Shamrock Lawn Service, you never face lawn problems alone. If something unexpected happens to your lawn, simply call us, and we'll dispatch a Shamrock specialist to take care of the problem.

"Shamrock has shown a high level of service, attention, and professionalism by: - Responding to my request for a quote (5 of 8 calls to to other services yielded no reply). - Visiting my yard to prepare the quote (the other services who replied did not) - Providing a quote which included observations and analysis of our lawn, such as grass varieties, weed types, insect problems. - Recommending needed services and not recommending ones not required (it was too late for a pre-emergent crabgrass, and insect control was not needed as no problems were observed) - Having a staffed office or an answering service to take my messages when I had questions and wanted to confirm proceeding with the service. My calls were returned within one or two days. - Sending a friendly "lawn care guy" to do the work who let us know what he was doing and went about it quickly. - Blowing off pellet fertilizer from the sidewalk and driveway where it had spread beyond the lawn. - Leaving a description of the work completed in the front door, with short-term recommendations about cutting, watering, or pets. - Having a secure, easy-to-use web site which allows on-line payment. They offer a discount for pre-payment of the full season."

Local Roots Landscaping LLC is dedicated to providing the Greater Pittsburgh Area with the highest quality landscaping and lawn care services possible. Started by two best friends with over 10 years of experience in the lawn care profession, we are committed to investing in our local communities by supporting local businesses and using only the best materials available. We provide free quotes and want to help make your dream a reality! We are fully insured and registered with the state of Pennsylvania (PA117252.) Our customer's satisfaction is the core of our business, and we have many positive reviews that we proudly share. Remember, your project is our passion.

"I requested a quote from Patrick at Local Roots mainly to install a Husqvarna Automower 450XH on what I would consider to be a 'challenging' property for this new technology. For anyone not familiar, the Automower is basically a Roomba for the lawn, which promises to mow a carpet-like lawn with minimal maintenance and effort. The result is a beautifully manicured lawn, and I feel like I am living on 'grounds' that are maintained by a full time landscaping crew. The only effort I put into my lawn is to check the Husqvarna app and make sure the mower hasn't gotten stuck, which can happen every few days, and a once-a-month line trim in a few areas. My property is nearly an acre of trees, hills, and roots. While I am technically inclined, I had no idea what the performance characteristics of the Automower were, and initial setup is non-trivial and involves burying a boundary wire as well as guide wires throughout the property. Patrick and crew installed my Automower in a single day. He came with a local Automower approved dealer to ensure that installation was "at or above specification" for things like guide wire lengths and navigable grade. This saved myself significant time in guesswork. In addition, Patrick was willing to set up a season long support contract to perform optimizations and adjustments to the buried wire to ensure my Automower would work flawlessly into the future."

Lawn Sense offers traditional and organic-based lawn care programs throughout the Greater Pittsburgh Area. Locally owned and operated since 1997, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding customer service.

"So far not good. Very poor communication. I think my mistake was paying them in advance. They have NO urgency to help me since they already got their money. Maybe would have been better to pay as you go, then at least they would only receive payment when they visit. Was told two weeks ago they would be stopping out, and nothing. Last time I had to request a full refund, and surprise, they came out the next day."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You can thicken new grass by using fertilizer, watering it 1 to 1½ inches per week, mowing when it is at an optimal height, and preventing weeds. You should fertilize your grass while you plant the grass seed, or soon afterward. Use an herbicide to prevent weeds or spot spray with herbicide to kill existing weeds.

Technically no, but they can look very similar and people often refer to the weedy grasses interchangeably. However, several differences keep these species separate. Crabgrass is often a darker color than carpetgrass and tends to sprout much earlier in spring. When allowed to grow out, crabgrass grows stems outward from the center of a stalk in a star-like pattern, which carpetgrass does not have.

The decision of whether or not to let moss grow in your yard depends on your preference. Moss is a lower-maintenance alternative to grass that looks green and lush but doesn’t require irrigation, fertilization, or mowing. Unlike grass, moss doesn’t attract pests, so it can keep your yard free from bugs as well. However, moss won’t stand up to heavy foot traffic as well as turfgrass. 

Powdery mildew tends to grow mostly on leafy plants. The mold itself isn’t particularly harmful, except for those who are allergic to mold. However, you should treat it like you’d treat the discovery of any other mold, and get rid of it immediately. Powdery mildew can spread to your home, which can cause expensive damage. 

Implement overseeding and fertilization to maximize aeration benefits and strengthen your lawn.
