Professional Grub Control
A beautiful lawn can quickly become damaged when grubs feed beneath the surface. Our Professional Grub Control Program is designed to protect your lawn before damage occurs. Through three strategically timed applications each year—in the spring, summer, and fall—we help prevent grub infestations and maintain a healthy, thriving lawn all season long.
Impact of Grubs
These destructive lawn pests attack the root system of your grass, causing brown patches, thinning turf, and areas that pull up like loose carpet. Even worse, grubs attract larger pests, causing further damage to your lawn when they feed on the grubs. Left untreated, grub damage can be extensive and costly to repair.
Signs Your Lawn May Have Grubs
- Brown patches that continue to grow despite watering
- Grass that feels soft or spongy underfoot
- Turf that pulls up easily
- Increased activity from skunks, raccoons, birds, or moles
- Thinning grass during the summer or early fall
- Areas that fail to recover after irrigation
Preventative Grub Control
The best way to protect your lawn is to stop grubs before they can cause significant damage. For the best protection, we recommend three grub control applications each year. By treating in the spring, summer, and fall, your lawn receives consistent protection throughout the seasons when grub activity is most likely to occur.
FAQs about Grub Control
How Often Should You Treat Your Lawn For Grubs?
Each treatment targets a different stage of the grub life cycle, providing season-long protection.
Spring Grub Control
Our spring application begins protecting your lawn as soil temperatures rise and insect activity increases. Early-season treatments help reduce developing grub populations while supporting healthy root growth heading into the growing season.
Summer Grub Control
Summer is one of the most important times for grub prevention. As beetles lay eggs, our preventative treatment targets newly hatched grubs before they begin feeding aggressively on your lawn's root system.
Fall Grub Control
Fall treatments provide continued protection during the period when grubs remain active beneath the soil. This application helps prevent late-season feeding while protecting your lawn as it prepares for winter dormancy.
By treating in the spring, summer, and fall, your lawn receives consistent protection throughout the seasons when grub activity is most likely to occur.

How Soon Can I Expect to See Results?
Preventative grub control products begin working as they move into the soil and target developing grubs during vulnerable stages of their life cycle.
Because the goal is to prevent damage before it starts, you may not notice a visible change immediately. Instead, the greatest benefit is maintaining a healthy lawn free from the brown patches, thinning grass, and wildlife damage commonly associated with grub infestations.
If your lawn has already experienced grub damage, recovery time depends on the severity of the infestation and may be improved with additional lawn care services such as aeration, overseeding, and fertilization.
What Other Lawn Services Support the Results of Grub Control?
Grub control is most effective when combined with a complete lawn care program.
Regular fertilization promotes healthy root growth and helps your lawn recover more quickly from seasonal stress while maintaining thick, green turf.
Aeration relieves soil compaction and encourages deeper root development, helping your lawn remain strong and resilient throughout the year.
Removing excessive thatch improves airflow, water penetration, and nutrient absorption, creating healthier growing conditions for your grass.
Overseeding
If grub damage has left thin or bare areas, overseeding helps restore lawn density and improves your lawn's overall appearance.
Together, these services create a healthier lawn that is better equipped to withstand environmental stress and insect activity.
