Living in Oakmont means enjoying the charm of tree-lined streets, classic architecture, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. Whether your home sits on a quiet avenue or overlooks the Allegheny River, your outdoor living space should be as comfortable and welcoming as your indoor space.
But finding a landscape contractor in Oakmont who delivers both reliability and design quality can be challenging. Too many companies rush jobs, overbook crews, and disappear after the last stone is laid.
At SORCE Landscape Contracting LLC, we’ve built a reputation throughout Greater Pittsburgh for dependable service, clear communication, and custom-built landscapes that reflect how our clients actually live. From drainage fixes and hardscape design to fire pits, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens, we help Oakmont homeowners turn ordinary yards into truly useful spaces.
Whether your goal is to extend your living room outdoors, fix water problems, or make your backyard more functional, our team designs spaces that solve problems while improving aesthetics.
Hardscape Design & Installation
Patios, walkways, retaining walls, steps, and outdoor fireplaces using premium materials like brick, concrete, gravel, and flagstone.
Outdoor Living Space Construction
Full outdoor setups with kitchens, seating areas, fire pits, pergolas, and lighting — all built with functionality and comfort in mind.
Drainage Solutions
We install French drains, regrade properties, and implement erosion control measures to prevent water pooling near driveways, porches, and foundations.
Landscape Design
From planting and sod install to shrub borders, mulch, and container gardens, we help design gardens that are beautiful and low maintenance.
Outdoor Lighting & Structures
We install lighting systems, gazebos, fences, trellises, and other custom structures that add usability and character to your space.
Oakmont properties come with their own quirks—older homes, tight property lines, shade-heavy lots, and hilly backyards. Our designs account for all of it.
Your landscape shouldn’t be an afterthought. We design each outdoor space to align with your home’s architecture, elevation, and daily routine.
From soil conditions to drainage patterns, we understand how to build landscapes that work well in Oakmont’s climate and terrain.
You’ll know exactly what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what to expect. No surprises.
We build to last. Our patios, walls, and structures hold up through Pittsburgh’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms.
We’ll visit your property, talk through your vision, assess layout, slope, and sunlight, and make design suggestions based on your goals and budget.
We create a scope of work tailored to your space. For large outdoor living projects, we provide 2D or 3D renderings to help you visualize before building.
Our crews handle every aspect of your outdoor project—from grading and base prep to paver installation, drainage setup, and planting. You’re kept in the loop at every step.
Whether you’re grilling in your outdoor kitchen, relaxing under a pergola, or gathering with neighbors around a fire pit, your new outdoor space will be ready for daily life and weekend entertaining alike.
Oakmont homeowners often prefer natural materials and elegant finishes that reflect the historic charm of their homes. Some of the most requested design elements include:
• Natural stone patios with curved edges and soft lighting
• Raised retaining walls and garden beds for sloped lots
• Pergolas and trellises for privacy and shade
• Flagstone fire pits surrounded by low-maintenance shrubs and potted plants
• Drainage channels integrated with walkways or patio edges for hidden functionality
• Covered outdoor dining areas with lighting, ceiling fans, and wood furniture
Yes. Many Oakmont homes have unique layout challenges. We design around trees, roots, slopes, and foundations to protect the integrity of your property.
We primarily focus on design and build projects, but we do offer spring cleanups, sod installs, and mulch refreshes as part of larger landscaping updates.
Not always. For basic installs, we can provide a simple sketch or concept layout. But for full outdoor living areas, we recommend a design consultation with visuals.
