What this covers
A lawn that browns in irregular patches and lifts easily at the edges often has grubs feeding on its roots. Skunks, raccoons and birds digging in the lawn are another sign. A grub request starts with a look beneath the turf: lifting a small section to see the roots and count what is there.
Where a lawn has a history of grubs, preventive treatment is usually timed for early summer, before the young grubs feed. Damaged areas then need raking out and reseeding. Ask how the business checks for grubs and other surface insects such as chinch bugs, and what it suggests for the areas that died back.
