How we rank landscapers in Pittsburgh

Each business is scored on signals we can verify from public data: a live, secure (HTTPS) website, mobile-friendliness, a published phone number and website, and fit with the landscapers category. We do not collect or display customer reviews, and we do not accept payment for placement. Businesses can claim their listing to correct contact details, but the rank is fixed by the data. Owners can claim a listing for a Verified badge and a direct link; sponsors appear only in labeled blocks outside the numbered list. Neither changes rank.

Common questions

Landscapers in Pittsburgh: quick answers

How are the landscapers in Pittsburgh ranked?

Each listing is scored on public signals we can check ourselves: whether the website is live and secure (HTTPS), whether it works on a phone, whether a phone number and website are published, and how closely the business matches the landscapers category. We do not collect customer reviews, so no star ratings or review counts appear here, and no business pays for placement.

How do I pick the best landscaper in Pittsburgh?

Use this list to shortlist two or three landscapers, then read their Google reviews yourself, confirm license and insurance, and get written estimates before committing. The score here is a filter, not a verdict.

How do I verify a landscaper's license in Pennsylvania?

Licensing in Pennsylvania runs through the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act registry. Before hiring anyone in Pittsburgh, ask for their PA HIC registration number (it starts with PA) and verify it in the Attorney General's public contractor registry before work begins. Also confirm current liability insurance, and get the license number in writing on the estimate.

Which landscapers serve Pittsburgh?

This page lists Grow, Greater Pitt Tree SErvice, GRG Lawn & Landscape, Stockman Lawnscape, Wichman Landscape and A&N Lawn Service Inc, in ranked order. 3 of the 6 publish a phone number, so you can call those directly; the rest are easiest to reach through their websites.

When is the best time to book landscapers in Pittsburgh?

Going by Pittsburgh's own weather records (typical last spring frost around April 17, first fall frost around November 6), the usual windows are from about April 17 into early summer or before June, usually the wettest month in Pittsburgh. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows beats the rush.

What to look for when hiring a landscaper in Pittsburgh

  • Check which Pennsylvania license applies. Pennsylvania licenses some of this work through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, which issues the pesticide application business license (for weed and pest treatments). Verify it at the official Pennsylvania license lookup before signing. Plain fertilizing needs no state license, but weed-and-feed and pre-emergent treatments count as pesticide work that requires one.
  • Written estimates. Any landscaper who won't put the scope in writing is a red flag.
  • Review quality, not just volume. Read the 3-star reviews, they're usually the most honest.
  • Local references. A landscaper who's done work in Downtown or Shadyside will understand local housing stock better than a regional chain.
