A lush, green lawn is the pride of many homeowners—but lurking beneath the surface, tiny troublemakers may be preparing to ruin your beautiful yard. Grubs, the larvae of beetles like Japanese beetles, June bugs, and European chafers, are among the most destructive lawn pests in New England. They feed on grass roots, creating unsightly brown patches and weakening your turf from below. Left unchecked, they can attract animals like skunks and raccoons, who dig up your yard in search of a grub snack.

At Natural Tree and Lawn Care, we specialize in proactive, professional solutions to keep your lawn grub-free and thriving all season long.

What Are Grubs and Why Are They a Problem?

Grubs are white, C-shaped larvae that live just below the soil surface. They begin feeding on grass roots shortly after hatching, typically in mid-to-late summer. This root damage makes it hard for your lawn to absorb water and nutrients—leading to wilted, yellowing turf that easily lifts like a carpet when tugged.

But the worst part? By the time you see the damage, it’s often too late.

That’s why prevention is key.

Grub Prevention: Timing Is Everything

Our preventive grub treatments target grubs before they hatch—interrupting their life cycle and stopping damage before it starts. Applied in late spring through early summer, our treatments are timed to be most effective when beetles are laying their eggs.

This proactive approach means you won’t need to worry about unsightly brown patches or surprise infestations later in the season.

Comprehensive Lawn Care for Long-Term Protection

Grub control is only one part of the puzzle. A thick, well-maintained lawn naturally resists pests and diseases. That’s why Natural Tree and Lawn Care offers a full-service lawn program that includes:
