If grubs have wreaked havoc on your lawn in Pennsylvania, there are several steps you can take to help it recover. First, you'll want to fertilize your lawn to provide it with the nutrients it needs to recover from grub damage. You'll also want to invest in weed control treatments to eliminate weeds so they can't steal the nutrients from the fertilizer for themselves. Aeration is another great service to schedule because it will loosen compacted soil and make it easier for nutrients and other resources to reach the roots of your grass. Lastly, you'll want to schedule an overseeding service to fill in any bare or patchy areas caused by grub damage with new grass. However, while these services will help your lawn recover from a grub infestation, you'll want to invest in preventative grub control treatments next year to prevent this problem from happening again!


Fertilizing your lawn will help it recover from grub damage.

Grubs can cause significant damage to your lawn by feeding on the roots. If your lawn has been damaged by grubs, one of the best things you can do is to fertilize it. Fertilizer provides essential nutrients that promote healthy growth and root development. By applying fertilizer to your lawn, you can give it the nourishment it needs to repair its roots and stimulate new grass growth. It's important to use a high-quality fertilizer that contains the right balance of nutrients for your specific type of grass.


Weed control treatments will ensure your lawn gets all the nutrients from the fertilizer to recover from grubs.

Weeds are opportunistic plants that will take advantage of any weakness in your lawn. If it has been damaged by grubs, weeds may start to grow and steal nutrients from your grass. To prevent this from happening, you should invest in weed control treatments. These treatments will eliminate weeds from your lawn so they can't steal nutrients from your grass. By keeping it free of weeds, you can ensure that all of the nutrients from the fertilizer are going to your lawn, helping it recover from grub damage.


Aeration will help your lawn access the resources it needs to recover from grub damage.

Aeration is another lawn care service that'll help your lawn recover from grub damage. This process involves removing small cores of soil from your turf, which helps to loosen compacted soil and create channels through which nutrients and other resources like water, sunlight, and oxygen can reach the roots of your grass. With better access to everything it needs, it'll have an easier time bouncing back from a grub infestation and do so quicker. That way, it can return to its healthy, vibrant state in no time!


Overseeding will fill in bare or patchy areas caused by grub damage with new grass.

If grubs have caused bare or patchy areas in your lawn, overseeding can help fill them in with new grass. Overseeding involves spreading grass seeds over your existing lawn to promote new growth. By overseeding your lawn, you can fill in bare or patchy areas caused by grub damage with new grass. This will help restore the appearance of your lawn and promote healthy growth.


Invest in preventative grub control treatments next year to prevent grubs from damaging your lawn again.

While lawn care services will help your lawn recover from grub damage, you'll want to make sure that you don't find yourself in this situation again next year. To prevent grubs from infesting again in the future, you should invest in preventative grub control treatments. These treatments work by eliminating newly hatched grubs before they have a chance to start feeding on the roots of your grass. Not only does this safeguard your turf's health, but it also saves you from having to nurse it back to health!

Preventative grub control treatments should be applied in May/June to get ahead of when grubs become active.
