The expert standard for Mount Washington properties.

Priority same-day response

Soil in Mount Washington tends to run acidic and compact — typical for established Pittsburgh-area properties — and that's before factoring in the shade issues that affect most older neighborhoods. Consistent maintenance is what keeps these lawns from deteriorating.

Dense hillside residential neighborhood with spectacular city views. Mix of older historic homes, renovated units, and newer infill construction. Very small lots squeezed between the streets and the dramatic terrain. Tourism character near the overlook. High desirability drives significant property investment.

What to Know About Mount Washington

Soil

Highly variable; many lots have thin topsoil over shale or clay where steep slopes have eroded. Some properties have been extensively terraced and amended for garden use. Fill from leveling is common on parcels that have been modified. Urban soil quality is poor on undisturbed steep slopes.

Turf

Fescue is the dominant practical turf choice for Mount Washington's famously steep slopes. Where lawn exists at all, it clings to terraced sections or narrow strips between structures. The incline railway service areas have the steepest accessible residential terrain in any major US city.

Climate

Elevated position above the city creates a slightly cooler and windier microclimate than the valley below. First frost mid-October; last frost mid-April. Clear views mean more wind exposure. The famous overlook experiences notable temperature differentials from summer convection rising from the city below.

My yard was a mess. Within two weeks of regular cuts and a cleanup, they turned it around completely. Looks amazing.

FAQ

Questions About Mount Washington Services

Do you offer pest control in Mount Washington?

Yes — Mount Washington is in our pest control territory. We apply an exterior perimeter treatment around the home foundation targeting stink bugs, ants, spiders, and other common invaders. Contact us to confirm coverage for your address.

Is the pest control treatment safe for pets and kids in Mount Washington?

Yes — the products we use are pet- and kid-safe once dry, typically 30 to 60 minutes after application depending on conditions. We always tell you the specific dry time before we leave.

What can I grow in a vegetable garden in Mount Washington?

Mount Washington falls in USDA hardiness zone 6a/6b, which supports a full warm-season vegetable mix — tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and beans work well in the summer window. Cool-season crops like lettuce, kale, and broccoli do well in spring and fall. The most common limiting factor isn't the climate — it's not enough direct sun. Most productive vegetable gardens need at least six to eight hours.
