    Common Problems

    Pests can cause major harm to lawns and ornamentals. Grubs feed on grass roots, leaving brown patches or even dead turf behind. Cutworms munch on the surface of your lawn, creating bare spots and weakening new growth. On ornamentals, chewing bugs strip leaves and blooms, while sucking bugs drain nutrients and can spread disease. If left unaddressed, infestations lead to ongoing damage and stress for your plants.

    The Benefits

    By managing pests early, you help maintain lawn density, plant health, and overall curb appeal. A yard with fewer insects is also more enjoyable for people and pets, reducing the chances of bites, stings, or other issues. Taking action against pests helps keep your outdoor space inviting and free from unsightly damage.

    Timeline to Improvement

    It can take multiple treatments to reduce an active infestation, especially if pests are well established. Each visit focuses on problem areas, with follow-ups as needed to target any survivors. Monitoring throughout the seasons helps catch new problems early, so your lawn and ornamentals have the best chance to stay healthy and bounce back from any damage.

Types of Pests

    • Grubs: Larvae that feed on grass roots underground, causing patches of dying turf.

    • Cutworms: Caterpillars that chew through grass blades and can quickly create bare spots.

    • Chewing: Pests like caterpillars or beetles that strip leaves and flowers, leaving ragged or skeletonized foliage.

    • Sucking: Aphids and similar insects that pull nutrients from stems or leaves, leading to yellowing and stunted growth.
