In this paper we study complete vertical graphs of constant mean curvature in the Hyperbolic and Steady State spaces. We first derive suitable formulas for the Laplacians of the height function and of a support-like function naturally attached to the graph; then, under appropriate restrictions on the values of the mean curvature and the growth of the height function, we obtain necessary conditions for the existence of such a graph. In the two-dimensional case we apply this analytical framework to state and prove Bernstein-type results in each of these ambient spaces.
