Lawn Installation FAQ
When is the best time of year to install a lawn?
The best time to install a lawn in Pittsburgh is during the cooler seasons of early fall and spring, when temperatures and moisture levels support strong root growth. Planting during these optimal periods ensures a healthier, more resilient lawn that thrives year after year.
How much top soil do I need?
For a successful new lawn installation, a minimum of 4–6 inches of quality topsoil is recommended to promote strong root growth and long-term health. Investing in the right amount of topsoil ensures better drainage, nutrient retention, and a lush, vibrant lawn.
Which is better, seed or sod?
Both seed and sod have their advantages, and the best choice depends on your goals, timeline, and budget. Sod offers instant results with a mature, green lawn right away and is ideal for quickly establishing high-traffic areas. Seed is more cost-effective and allows for a wider variety of grass types, making it a great option for those with more flexible timelines. At Lyons Landscapes, we’ll assess your site and help you choose the best solution for a healthy, long-lasting lawn.
Do I need a soil test?
Yes, a soil test is highly recommended before a lawn installation. It provides valuable insight into your soil’s pH, nutrient levels, and overall health—ensuring we choose the right amendments and grass type for long-term success. By starting with a solid understanding of your soil, we can create the best conditions for your new lawn to thrive. Lyons Landscapes offers soil testing as part of our lawn installation services to help set your landscape up for lasting results.
