Licensed Landscapers in Plantation, FL 33317 - Estrada Landscaping

Chinch bugs are a major local pest. Look for irregular yellow or brown patches in your St. Augustine grass, especially in sunny areas. The grass in these patches will feel dry and brittle, even with regular watering. You might also see the small, black-and-white bugs themselves if you part the grass at the edge of a damaged area. Early detection is key to preventing widespread damage.

We start with a thorough inspection to identify the specific pest and the extent of the damage. For chinch bugs and similar infestations, we use targeted, professional-grade treatments that are effective yet mindful of your family and the environment. Our approach often includes soil amendments and cultural practices, like proper mowing and irrigation advice, to make your lawn less inviting to pests and promote strong, resilient turf.

Absolutely. After eliminating the active infestation, we offer services like aeration, overseeding, and sod replacement to repair damaged areas and restore a lush, green lawn. Our preventative plan focuses on building lawn health through proper fertilization, core aeration to reduce thatch, and optimized watering schedules. A thick, healthy lawn is your best defense, and we'll help you create a maintenance routine that deters future pest problems.
