Common signs here in Westville include plastic edging that has become brittle and cracked from sun exposure, metal edging that's rusting, or brick/stone borders that have shifted or sunk due to soil erosion or freeze-thaw cycles. If you notice grass or weeds creeping over your borders, it's a clear sign your edging is no longer functioning properly and should be addressed to maintain your lawn's definition and health.

In Westville, we frequently see damage from grubs (the larvae of beetles like Japanese beetles) and chinch bugs. Grubs feed on grass roots, causing brown, spongy patches that peel back easily. Chinch bugs suck moisture from grass blades, leading to irregular yellow or brown spots, especially in sunny areas. Our treatment approach involves proper identification, followed by targeted, seasonally-timed applications and cultural practices like proper watering to help your lawn recover and resist future infestations.

A proactive, integrated approach is key. Start with durable, properly installed edging materials suited for our local soil and climate. Implement a regular lawn health program that includes monitoring for early signs of pests. We recommend core aeration and overseeding to maintain a thick, robust lawn that's more resistant to insect damage. Our team can create a custom seasonal maintenance plan to address Westville's specific challenges, protecting your investment year-round.
