How to control grubs in lawn?
We utilize nematodes for grub control. Nematodes are microscopic worms that move through the soil and seek out grubs. They enter the grub and release bacteria that convert the grub to a food source for young nematodes. This causes the grub to stop eating and eventually die. There are several nematode strains on the market; however, nematodes are extremely selective on the type of insect they attack. We use the most effective nematode strain available against European chafer grubs. Nematodes are safe to use on lawns and do not harm plants, people, pets or even beneficial insects. Our objective is to reduce the grub population to a level that does not cause injury to the lawn, however we cannot guarantee that animal activity (skunks, raccoons) will not dig in search of grubs. For the most effective control, you need to water your lawn the night before our nematode treatment and as soon after as possible. Keeping the lawn moist for a few days following this treatment will produce the optimal environment for the nematodes to work.

If the weed is not showing any signs of affect from the weed control within a few days, it may have been affected by the rain, and feel free to contact us regarding next steps.

Grass sits much higher than sidewalk after edging
So I just moved into a new house and I’m assuming the previous owners never edged the grass as there was about 3 inches of growth over the sidewalk. After edging a portion of it, the grass seems to sit much higher than the sidewalk with the dirt being visible. Is this normal? If not, any way of “fixing” it?
