Older Pittsburgh neighborhood with modest rowhouse and attached frame construction. Small lots; dense development pattern. The neighborhood's urban scale means pest consulting includes party-wall considerations and urban pest pressures common in dense residential settings.

Local Conditions

What to Know About Oakwood

Soil

Urban Pittsburgh conditions; variable fill history in an older neighborhood with long residential history. Some lots have been modified significantly through the decades. Compaction is common near driveways and high-traffic areas. Organic matter is limited on undisturbed urban soils.

Turf

Fescue on the limited lawn areas between homes in this dense neighborhood. Oakwood's urban character and mature tree canopy limit turf viability. Where lawn exists, shade tolerance is the primary criterion for grass selection. Ground covers are common alternatives.

Climate

Urban Pittsburgh climate. Position near the city core provides moderate urban heat island effect. First frost late October; last frost mid-April. Mature tree canopy moderates temperature extremes across the growing season.

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