Lawn grubs – which are often Japanese Beatle larvae, love to live in the soil below your lawn eating grass roots. A grub infestation on your lawn can turn an otherwise nice green yard into a brown and unwatered looking mess that isn’t well-cared for. If your lawn is suffering from a grub problem it will be often be most visible in the form of irregular sized brown patches that will peel away from your soil, this damage usually shows itself in the later summer or early fall.

Some Facts About Lawn Grubs
There are few other pests that present a threat to your lawn as grubs. Often by the time you notice there is a problem, wide-spread damage has already occurred on your lawn.
- If your lawn suffered a grub infestation in the past, you are more likely to have them again.
- The early larvae stage is when grubs are most voracious and do the most damage.
- When beginning stages of damage are revealed, widespread irreparable damage has already occurred.
- If you find more than 4 grubs per square foot you likely have an infestation problem.
- When you have an infestation, your lawn WILL suffer significant damage, which often costs thousands of dollars to repair.
Grub worm prevention application must be applied in April or May for best results. After this time period you cannot prevent grub worms, you can only kill them. At that point, the damage has already been done to your lawn.

Natural Image installed a paver front walk and two porches for us. The crew was professional, courteous and prompt in addressing any questions we had. Anthony came to our home several times before the project started to answer our design questions. We are very happy with our new front walk and porches. Feel confident in recommending them to our friends and family.
We hired Natural Image for various hard scaping projects including the design and creation of a beautiful waterfall. The team went above our expectations with the final product. We found them extremely professional in all aspects from planning to completion. They listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the final product. All workers were courteous and respectful of our property and our time. We would highly recommend this company.
We could not be happier with the outcome of the landscape project from Natural Image. The craftsmanship and professionalism of the team was top notch. They kept the space clean throughout the work and never left me questioning the final product. As with all projects, there were different visions on what the product would look like at the beginning, but the team asked the right questions and pivoted to give us more than what we could have asked for. I highly recommend them for any hard scape projects.
Natural Image replaced our patio and also added a new pavilion with a fireplace. They were extremely helpful with the design layout and giving us direction on the process. They were always very responsive and professional. We absolutely love our new outdoor space.
The team at Natural Image is professional, knowledgeable, and the work they did was beautiful!
We hired Natural Image Property Services to replace a failing retaining wall with Versa-Lok block. We would highly recommend this company. From the ease of scheduling our consultation online, to the actual consultation and subsequent conversations, all was very professional. The two guys who did the work (Taylor and K.C.) were very hard working, very diligent and meticulous—probably not too easy when building a 10’ wall, and having to fit it around a large culvert pipe. Even on 20 degree days they showed up, worked hard and did a fantastic job. All work was done within the original service description, and completed in the time frame specified. Needless to say, we are very pleased.
