A healthy lawn should be a place where your pets can play without worry. When grubs begin damaging turf, the result is not only thin, patchy grass but also increased digging from wildlife. ArborLawn helps homeowners protect their lawns with treatments that are effective against grubs and considerate of pets’ safety.
Grubs feed on the grass roots, which weakens the turf and creates soft, brown patches that tear easily under foot traffic. Damaged areas can attract moles, skunks, and raccoons that dig for food, causing even more disruption. Addressing grubs in the fall prevents this cycle and preserves a safe, durable play space for your family and pets.
Pet-safe care is just as much about the process as it is about the product. Our technicians apply preventive treatments at the correct time of year, target the most vulnerable life stages, and water in granular applications to bind active ingredients in the soil. We provide clear guidance on when pets can return to the yard – typically after sprays have dried or granules have been watered in – so you have confidence at every step.
Preventive treatments are most effective when applied in late spring through early summer, before grub populations peak. If you are already seeing damaged turf that lifts like a carpet or noticing animal digging, a curative approach may be necessary. We tailor application rates and focus on affected areas to restore your lawn while minimizing disruption to daily routines.
Strong turf stands up better to both pets and pests. Core aeration, proper mowing height, and a smart watering schedule promote deeper roots and thicker growth, which reduces the likelihood of severe grub damage. Our team can design a personalized seasonal plan tailored to Jackson, Michigan’s climate and your household’s specific needs.
You don’t have to choose between a green lawn and happy pets. With ArborLawn’s integrated, pet-conscious approach, your backyard stays ready for fetch, cookouts, and cartwheels. Beyond grub control, we also handle lawn irrigation repairs, yard mole control, and mosquito prevention to keep your outdoor space comfortable throughout the entire season.
