Grub Control and Prevention in Charlottesville, VA

Did you know that grubs can cause damage similar to lawn disease? If you've noticed your lawn looking patchy or animals like skunks and birds on your grass, you might be dealing with grubs. These bugs, which are the larval stage of various beetles such as Japanese beetles, June bugs, and European chafers, can wreak havoc on your grass by eating the roots. 

Signs you may need grub control in Charlottesville include:

  • Brown, wilting grass
  • Spongy or squishy turf
  • Patchy, irregular damage
  • Increased presence of wildlife
  • Loosened turf
  • Presence of adult beetles
  • Thinning or dieback of grass
  • Root damage
  • Increased susceptibility to drought stress
  • Presence of C-shaped larvae

If you notice these signs, give Turf HD a call. Our HD Premium Lawn Care Package includes grub control and prevention of further infestations. We'll make sure your lawn is healthier than it's ever been!

How Can Grubs Damage My Lawn?

Grubs can cause significant damage to lawns. Here are some ways grubs can harm a lawn:

  • Root Feeding: Grubs feed on grassroots, causing significant damage to the turf's root system. This feeding behavior weakens the grass, making it more susceptible to drought stress and damage from foot traffic.
  • Brown Patchy Areas: As grubs consume grassroots, patches of brown, dying grass may appear in the affected areas of the lawn. These patches can expand over time if the grub infestation is not controlled.
  • Increased Susceptibility to Disease: Weakened grass due to grub damage is more susceptible to diseases such as brown patch and dollar spot. These diseases can further contribute to the decline of the lawn's health.
  • Increased Attraction to Pests: Grub-damaged lawns can attract other pests such as birds, raccoons, and skunks, which feed on grubs. These animals can further damage the lawn as they dig up the turf in search of grubs, causing additional destruction.
  • Thinning and Dieback: Severe grub infestations can lead to widespread thinning and dieback of grass in affected areas, creating an unsightly lawn with poor aesthetic appeal.

Grubs can cause considerable damage to lawns if left untreated, impacting the health and appearance of the turf. It's essential to monitor for signs of grub infestation and take appropriate measures to control their populations to prevent significant damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
When are grubs most active?

Grub activity is often most noticeable in late summer and early fall when larvae are actively feeding near the surface.

Are grub treatments preventative or curative?

Some products are designed to prevent future infestations, while others target active grub populations already damaging the lawn.

Can grubs survive the winter?

Yes. Many grubs burrow deeper into the soil during winter and return closer to the surface once temperatures warm up again in spring.

Which animals are commonly attracted to grub infestations?

Skunks, raccoons, moles, and birds are commonly drawn to lawns with grubs because they feed on the larvae beneath the soil surface.

They did what they contracted to do and sent an email detailing what had been done, what product(s) were applied, for what reason, and who did the job; for each and every application. Second, they made sure that various lawn fungi were controlled and did not destroy my lawn. Third, my lawn looks fabulous - Spring, Summer, Fall. Fourth - aeration was done with a deep penetrating machine, followed up with through seeding. Lastly - the price was more than fair!! All in all - highly recommend Turf HD.

This was one of the best experiences we have had in the 30 years living here. Friendly, excellent communications, always here when they say they would be, dependable, and reliable. My lawn was a complete disaster in spring 2022. By October, I actually had a beautiful lawn which had been 80% weeds. I will use them in the spring 2023. Highly highly recommend.

Turf HD was recommended to me by a friend and I have been forever thankful. They transformed my yard from a field of sod to a field of dreams. I know it sounds corny, but I have never had so many compliments on my yard. I always wanted a yard that would match the vision of the yard I had growing up and Turf HD has done that and more. They care about your yard and are incredibly knowledgeable, polite and work in all elements. Best recommendation I could have ever received!!!

We use Turf HD’s seeding, aeration, and fertilizer services. Specifically, we use their “organic plan”. Our lawn constantly receives compliments from neighbors. The grass is thick, filled in very well, and is strong. Their prices are significantly lower than some other larger companies servicing the area too. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for s lawn care service.
