Burien Grub Control

Homeowner’s Issue

Grubs feed on grassroots and show up as brown patches, soggy turf, and increased bird or raccoon activity. In our wet, cool climate with compacted clay pockets, north-facing shade and steep slopes near Seahurst Park, root damage can spread quickly and undermine rental curb appeal. Many landlords and homeowners here juggle tenant turnover, limited maintenance windows, and drainage challenges that let grubs thrive. Simple mowing and watering often mask the problem until patches appear. For sustainable outcomes we focus on cultural fixes — improving drainage, reducing moss-friendly shade, aeration, and soil health — combined with biological grub controls that are safe for families, pets, and nearby green spaces in White Center and surrounding neighborhoods.

Our Quality Service

We inspect, diagnose, and apply eco-conscious treatments suited to soil and slope. Work includes targeted biological applications, aeration, and reseeding where roots are lost. Results focus on safety, long-lasting turf health, and reduced future maintenance.

What’s Included

  • Thorough lawn assessment and grub count
  • Biological grub control and soil amendment
  • Core aeration and overseeding of bare spots
  • Basic edging and debris cleanup
  • Follow-up inspection and care plan

Optional upgrades:

  • Mulch + landscape fabric for beds
  • Organic weed control and moss management
  • Compost topdressing for soil structure
  • Haul-away vs. green bin disposal options

Before & After / Expectations

Expect greener, firmer turf over weeks as roots recover; new seed often shows first green shoots in 2–4 weeks. Maintain results with improved drainage, periodic aeration, and organic topdressing. Watch for ivy or moss regrowth in shaded areas and treat early with manual removal and increased airflow.

FAQs

  • How long until I see results? Biological treatments plus aeration usually show improvement in 2–8 weeks depending on weather.
  • Will treatments harm pets or kids? We use pet-safe, biological options and cultural methods only.
  • Do you need access to water or power? No power required for basic grub work; water access helps seed establishment.
  • How often should rental properties be checked? Quarterly checks are a good baseline for landlords to prevent re-infestation.
