It All Starts with Your Soil.

Grubs are a very destructive insect that eats the roots of turf grass. An area susceptible to grubs is a sunny and wet area. Any irrigated sunny lawn will do for grubs. The female beetle mates and lays her eggs in late July or early August. The eggs hatch and the feeding larva of the beetle (the grub) does its damage. The grub will feed until the following spring moving down into the soil as the frost line moves down staying just below the frost line. In late spring and early summer the larva will pupate and after the pupation, an adult beetle emerges.  Learn more by following this link to our grub post.

Lawn fungal diseases are the result of the correct humidity and temperature. With the correct temperature and humidity on the proper host for the right amount of time, fungal spores will begin to grow. Fungal spores are everywhere and it is unlikely they were carried in by you walking or a landscapers mower. Spores spread in huge numbers very easily on the wind. It’s like blaming the movement of pollen in the air on a landscaper or someone brings it in on their feet.  Learn More

Damage from chinch bugs starts out looking like drought stress and continues to get worse no matter how much water is applied.  Learn More
