Greenstar Landscaping Company | Certified Landscapers in Atlanta, GA

In Atlanta, chinch bugs and grubs are frequent culprits behind lawn damage, especially in stressed areas. We start with a thorough inspection to identify the specific pest, then apply targeted, EPA-approved treatments. For chinch bugs, we use insecticidal soaps or targeted chemicals; for grubs, we apply preventative treatments in early summer. We also recommend proper watering and aeration to strengthen your lawn's natural defenses against future infestations.

Common signs include dry brown patches, puddling in some areas while others stay dry, or uneven grass growth. Our technicians perform a detailed sprinkler audit using catch cups to measure water distribution across your lawn. We then adjust sprinkler heads for proper alignment, replace clogged nozzles, and recalibrate zones to ensure even coverage. For persistent issues, we might recommend adding heads or redesigning zones to match your landscape's layout.

Absolutely. Many Atlanta lawn issues are interconnected—dry spots from poor irrigation attract insects, and insect damage weakens grass's ability to utilize water. Our integrated approach includes sprinkler optimization to eliminate dry zones where pests thrive, combined with seasonal insect monitoring and treatments. We also advise on proper mowing heights and fertilization schedules that promote deep root growth, making your lawn more resistant to both pests and drought stress.
