Grubs may be small, but the damage they cause can be huge. At Custom Lawns, we offer expert solutions to protect your lawn from grubs and help restore areas already affected.
what are grubs?
Grubs are the larval stage of certain beetles, including Japanese beetles, June beetles, and European chafers. These C-shaped, white or cream-colored larvae live in the soil and feed on grassroots, which can weaken your lawn and cause brown patches, thinning, and even bare spots.
Adult beetles lay eggs in your lawn during the summer months. Once hatched, the larvae burrow into the soil and begin feeding on your grass root. Lawns with heavy thatch, overwatering, or aeras near wooded landscapes are particularly susceptible.
