Call us today to add these protective treatments to your lawn care program and prevent expensive repairs down the road. Your grass deserves the best care possible!
Protect Your Lawn from Devastating Grub Damage
When white grubs attack, they silently destroy your lawn from beneath the surface. Preventive Grub Control provides essential protection against these destructive pests before they turn your green lawn into patchy brown areas that pull up easily from severed roots.
Our Strategic Grub Protection Process
We follow a proven approach to eliminate grub threats:
- Timing application perfectly in June before larvae hatch
- Using professional-grade Imidacloprid for maximum effectiveness
- Applying granular treatment with three-month residual protection
- Testing soil conditions to ensure optimal treatment performance
- Monitoring for signs of breakthrough activity
Unlike store-bought solutions, our The Guys in Purple treatment provides nearly 100% control when Japanese Beetle larvae begin feeding in late July and August. We understand that finding grubs in spring often causes concern, but these mature grubs cause minimal damage and resist treatment - our targeted summer application addresses the truly destructive generation before damage occurs.
Your Lawn Deserves Lasting Results
At The Guys in Purple, we stand firmly behind our work. That's why we offer a satisfaction guarantee on our lawn care programs. If you're not thrilled with the results, we'll come back and re-treat at no extra cost. No questions asked.
We believe you deserve a lush, healthy lawn that lasts. Our guarantee ensures you get the value and peace of mind you're looking for, without any hassle or hidden fees.
Lime Soil Amendments for Healthy Lawns
We keep a close eye on your lawn's health during our visits. If we notice yellowing grass or other signs of distress, we might recommend a soil test. This test can reveal if your soil is too acidic. When that's the case, a lime treatment is often the perfect soil amendment. Lime helps balance the pH, making it easier for your grass to absorb nutrients. After applying lime, you'll likely see stronger, greener grass as the roots can now take in what they need to thrive. At The Guys in Purple, we're committed to using the right treatments at the right time to keep your lawn looking its best.
Protect Your Lawn from Fungal Disease
Your grass faces a daily battle against fungal pathogens you can't see until damage appears. Over 80% of residential lawn problems are caused by fungal diseases that spread rapidly in the right conditions. Professional fungus treatments can restore your lawn's health while preventing thousands in potential reseeding costs.
Smart Treatment Approaches That Work
Consumer products often fail because they treat symptoms without addressing underlying issues. Our fungus treatments combine professional-grade products with application expertise to effectively combat lawn diseases. We don't just mask problems – we create conditions where healthy grass thrives naturally. Our comprehensive approach includes balanced soil nutrition, proper watering guidance, and targeted fungicide applications that work systematically throughout your grass.
Why Lawn Diseases Take Hold
Understanding what makes your lawn vulnerable is crucial for effective prevention:
- Poor air circulation creates humid conditions where fungal spores thrive
- Improper watering practices, especially evening watering that leaves grass wet overnight
- Excess thatch buildup that harbors disease organisms
- Soil compaction that stresses grass and limits root development
- Weather conditions in Virginia that create perfect fungal growth environments
What Homeowners Can Do
Your involvement makes a significant difference in disease control outcomes. Mowing at proper heights allows grass to develop stronger resistance to disease. Watering deeply but infrequently encourages deeper root systems that withstand disease pressure better. Following our technicians' recommendations about thatch management and core aeration creates a healthier lawn environment where disease has difficulty establishing. When we work together, your lawn builds natural defenses against common fungal problems.
