Landscaping Sarasota FL | Call Arlen Lawn Service

Chinch bugs are a common pest in our area that suck the moisture from grass blades, causing yellowing and brown patches, especially in St. Augustine grass. Our lawn care service includes a thorough inspection to confirm their presence. We then apply targeted, effective treatments to eliminate the active infestation and follow up with a customized fertilization and watering plan to help your lawn recover its strength and green color.

Each visit is comprehensive. We start by mowing your lawn to the ideal height for pest resistance. Then, we perform a detailed inspection for early signs of pests like chinch bugs, sod webworms, or grubs. Based on our findings and the season, we may apply a preventative treatment, fertilize to promote thick grass that crowds out weeds and pests, and provide you with specific watering advice for your soil type to keep your lawn robust and less inviting to infestations.

The warm, humid climate here creates a perfect environment for lawn pests to thrive and return year after year. DIY solutions often only address the surface issue. Our professional service provides consistent, seasonally-adjusted care that builds your lawn's long-term health. A thick, well-nourished lawn is its own best defense. We monitor for pests throughout the year and intervene early with the right products, breaking the pest life cycle and saving you from costly damage and repeated treatments.
