The Automower:
The Next Level of Lawn Care Convenience in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective Autonomous Mowing for the Most Beautiful Lawns in Town
The best lawns require ongoing care and maintenance. The healthier they are, the faster they grow, and mowing can consume your weekends all summer long. Skip a week, and you end up with a front yard jungle; cut your lawn too short, and you get bare patches and weak grass that is susceptible to pests and disease.
Mowing is a bit of an art, and the Husqvarna Automower® is a master artist. Low noise and emissions-free, the Automower is programmed by trained technicians to keep your grass at the same height throughout the season—and you don't have to lift a finger. It runs automatically, on schedule, before returning to its charger to get ready for the next day. Micro clippings keep your lawn soft and carpet-like while nourishing the soil beneath it.
The Automower is the ultimate time-saving, eco-friendly lawn care solution. Contact us to learn more about installing yours in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Our Clients Have Made Us the Highest-Rated Landscaping Company in the Area
We're proud to be the most-reviewed and highest-rated landscaping company in the area, but it makes us happiest to know that's because our clients truly love the work we do for them. Read what they have to say about their landscaping:
My experience with Local Roots was great from the first design consultation through the completion of my backyard retreat. I had a small backyard that was challenged by a steep hill. The team was able to install a beautiful, two tiered retaining wall that provided enough space for a dream patio and all-season plunge pool. Thanks for making the unbelievable come true for me!
- Ken Kmetz
Kenneth and his crew went above and beyond to satisfy the requests we had for our backyard hardscape. Professional from beginning to end! Greg and his team did masterful paving work - clean lines, improved the grades and left our place looking great! We will enjoy our yard for years to come.... These guys are top notch and I will hire them again!
- Mark Yocca
Local Roots did an excellent job on our back patio renovation. They stepped up when our prior general contractor fell through and left the project in disarray. They were able to complete all the remaining work, and work with subcontractors as needed. The end result looks awesome and we would definitely recommend them to our friends.
- Brian Pollack
I was extremely satisfied with the two landscape jobs completed by Local Roots for my city property in Lawrenceville. Ken did a fabulous job with the design and was very responsive to my ideas and questions regarding plant choices. The projects involved removal of old hardscape as well as very old, overgrown plantings. The workers were extremely professional and completed the work in a timely fashion. Wouldn't hesitate to use Local Roots services again!
- Michele Evans
Local Roots is extremely professional and has great quality. All of their crews are friendly and helpful and clearly take pride in their work.
- David Riehl
Local Roots is absolutely incredible! I would trust them with any and all landscaping and hardscaping projects! This may sound cheesy, but it is absolutely accurate to say that Local Roots will make your dreams come true! Their work is professional, custom, and of high quality. They will give you exactly what you want AND make suggestions to even improve upon on your ideas. Most of all, they are TRUSTWORTHY and of high character, which is hard to find these days. Highly recommend this five-star company.
- Catherine Agate
Local Roots Landscaping sets the bar high in the Pittsburgh area and delivers high quality workmanship. In working with their team, my experience has been nothing but awesome! If you are thinking about doing any type of updates or new outdoor areas, they are who you want doing the work!
- Nina Andaloro
Pictures say it all! Could not be happier with the outcome. Never thought I would be proud of the front of my house with how it looked before but now I love showing it off! Fantastic company and employees! Highly recommend.
- Dan Wisniewski
Local Roots has changed the way our house looks and feels by elevating our landscaping to the max! The crew is super friendly and professional and they really went the extra mile on cleaning things up. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for some help on landscaping design and execution. 10/10 experience.
- Kendall Hannan
Local Roots has very knowledgeable staff that complete the job well. They have been very punctual, communicate well before and after any job, and always leave a site looking at it's best. I have had many jobs completed by landscape companies that send people out to complete a job without any plant knowledge, and believe me its shows - Local Roots has trained staff that excel in their work and make sound and smart decisions when completing any job. Highly recommend!! The owners are really nice, smart and motivated guys as well - definitely give them a call for any landscape work you need!

The Benefits of the Autonomous Mowing
The Automower has been popular in Europe for decades, and U.S. residents are starting to realize what all the fuss is about. Instead of the hassle of mowing on a weekly basis, the Automower operates daily, cutting a micro amount of grass to maintain a lush, carpet-like lawn. You could achieve a similar look and feel with a weekly professional lawn service, but Automower takes it to the next level:
- Fully electric and emissions-free
- Programmed by trained technicians to keep your grass at the same height all season long
- Innovative technology allows Automower to create a geo-fence, ensuring you never have to worry about it running over your flowers or leaving your property
- Works on hills with up to a 35 percent grade
- Micro grass clippings return to the ground and naturally fertilize the soil
- Fully functional in wet, rainy conditions or in temperatures of up to 113ºF
- Built-in safety features, so the blade stops when the Automower is lifted
- GPS tracking to guard against theft; they're also automatically disabled when they leave their programmed yard, rendering the unit useless to anyone but you
- Quiet and efficient
- Reliable and cost-effective
While human professionals may be limited by weather, availability, and unforeseen circumstances, the Automower can do its job every day or night. It's the next level in convenience, cost-efficiency, and aesthetics when it comes to lawn care. Contact us to learn more about autonomous mowing or to schedule your installation.

How We Turn Your Ideas Into Award-Winning Landscapes
With years of experience behind us, we've streamlined our process to make every landscaping project simple and enjoyable for you. Here's what you can expect when you work with us on a design-build project:
-
Lay the Groundwork
Book your consultation through our online scheduling system directly with our designers at a time that works for you. The designer will determine whether you need a design (and can proceed to the next steps) or if we can skip that phase and put your project on the schedule right away.Fill out the questionnaire at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled site visit. This gives the designer more information about what you're looking for and will help you and the team make the most of the on-site visit.
-
Create Your Plan
Your designer will arrive on time and will take a few photos and measurements, and discuss your vision for the space (Design packages are $85 per hour/$3,000 project minimum). Within 48 hours of the visit, your designer will be in touch with the design cost and to schedule a date for the project presentation where they will present a high-level plan for your project. You'll also receive a rough estimate for both the cost and the timeline of the project. When you're ready to move forward, you'll sign the agreement, pay your deposit, and be added to our schedule.You’ll receive all the details of your design concept along with a complete project budget and timeline.
-
Project Underway
You'll enjoy one point of contact with a dedicated project manager and crew throughout your project. They will work safely and efficiently from 8:00-5:00 on business days, keeping you up-to-date on their progress, and any time that you have questions or concerns. -
Project Wrap-up
When your project is complete, your project manager will do a final walk-through with you and make sure all items in the punch list are documented and that we follow-through on completion of the items. At this point we will invoice you for the remaining balance and if you’re willing, request that you submit a review through our website.
