Grub Control Services in Atlanta, GA

We offer grub control services for properties in Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Chastain Park & surrounding Atlanta neighborhoods.

Grubs are one of the most destructive lawn insects found in the Atlanta area. These pests live beneath the soil and feed on the roots of turfgrass, weakening the lawn and causing sections of grass to turn brown or die. Because the roots are damaged, affected turf can often be pulled up easily like loose carpet. Grub problems are most noticeable during summer and early fall, when the insects are actively feeding near the surface of the soil.

Hedges & Edges Landscaping provides grub control services to help identify infestations and treat lawns before the damage spreads across large sections of turf.

What Are Lawn Grubs?

Lawn grubs are the larval stage of beetles such as June beetles, Japanese beetles, and chafers. These insects hatch in the soil and spend most of their life underground feeding on the root system of grass. As the roots are eaten, turf begins to weaken and may develop yellow or brown patches across the lawn.

When grub populations become severe, entire sections of lawn can die because the grass can no longer absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Signs Your Lawn May Have Grubs

Grub damage can sometimes be mistaken for drought or disease. However, there are a few common warning signs that may indicate a grub problem:

Brown or thinning patches of turf: As grubs feed on the roots, sections of grass may begin to yellow or die.

Spongy or loose turf: Heavy infestations can destroy enough roots that grass lifts easily from the soil.

Increased animal activity: Birds or other animals may dig in the lawn as they search for grubs to eat.

Identifying these signs early helps prevent widespread lawn damage.

When Grub Problems Are Most Common

In Georgia, grub activity typically increases during summer and early fall, when the insects are feeding near the root zone of turfgrass. This is also when damage becomes most visible across the lawn.

Treatments are often timed around this activity so that grubs can be controlled before they cause extensive damage.

Grub Control Available as an Independent Service

Grub control can be scheduled as a standalone service if your lawn is already showing signs of insect damage. Addressing grub activity early helps prevent larger areas of turf loss and allows the lawn to recover more quickly.
