Insect & Grub Management

We care for what you love

Lawn Insect & Grub Control Services

Grubs and damaging insects can undermine even the healthiest of landscapes. As if they weren’t enough of a challenge on their own, the presence of grubs in your soil can attract skunks, and other animals that will tear up your lawn looking to feed on them. If an infestation already exists on your lawn, SavATree’s lawn specialists will identify the pests present, and recommend the best treatment for that species. And to help head off a future infestation, they will also develop a comprehensive lawn care program that includes insect and/or grub management.

Step One: Proper Identification by Experts

There are a variety of insects and grubs that feed on the roots and blades of grass, sometimes producing results that look very similar to lawn diseases. And as with diseases, the symptoms can be difficult to diagnose unless you know what to look for – and our SavATree lawn specialists do. Their accurate diagnosis is a critical first step in creating an effective management plan. Learn more about our lawn disease treatment services.

Effective, Timely, and Responsible Treatments

Your SavATree lawn specialist has extensive knowledge and experience treating common lawn insects and grubs. Your specialist will inspect your turf regularly in order to spot unwanted insect populations early. They will then recommend an effective insect management program that also addresses your personal preferences.

To optimize insect and grub management in your lawn throughout the year, your arborist may recommend a program that integrates curative treatments as well as preventive measures – all carefully timed to the seasonal life cycles of the pests.

When we select the technical materials used in our insect and grub control services, we consult the Environmental Impact Quotient (EIQ) – a formula and data source created by The New York State Integrated Pest Management Program at Cornell University. The EIQ shows us the environmental and health impacts of available products and ingredients. Armed with that information, we are able to make responsible choices in optimizing the health of your lawn.

Professional lawn care can help you achieve thick, healthy turf with vibrant color. SavATree’s lawn experts are ready to help, whether you need to treat your existing lawn for insects and grubs, have challenges growing grass, or just want to learn more about SavATree service options.

Great company with very knowledgeable arborists who love plants! Wonderful to do business with. I had used our general landscaping business prior for tree and bush trimming and this is 3 heads above in skill. Would highly recommend to anyone who cares about their outdoor plantings!

Another fantastic job by Monty's crew! Because of their previous tree maintenance, my trees survived a direct hurricane hit. This time they trimmed the dead branches and cleaned up the debris so the trees and yard looks better than ever!

I have been using SaveATree for several years. They literally did save a tree for me; a pine tree that was dying and needed more than water to recover. Then they began pruning my trees after storm damage with professional results. The trees thrived. Now I am on a schedule for nutrition and disease control along with regular pruning. Colorado wind, hail, snow, altitude and soil has a profound...

Mr. Amoto (now Mr.Amoto/SavATree) has been my go-to tree company for around 15 years. They’ve taken care of tree trimming and tree removal in hard-to-get-to places. It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt Boyd and his crew over the years.

I am posting this for my mom in Boulder, CO: They have lit our 50 foot linden trees two years in a row. The pictures cannot do it justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. The staff is so helpful and kind. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Nick was an amazing arborist and unbelievable amount of knowledge. They did everything agreed upon in a timely manner and left my yard better than they found it with cleanup. Will absolutely use them again in the future. Thank you

Ashley and her tree trimming crew, lead by Neil, did a great job working around the needs of our neighbors to gain road passage to/from their homes. They were responsive to our changing tree cutting needs, very professional and cost effective. We received quotes from numerous other tree services that were two to SIX times more expensive. Start your quote process with SavATree. You'll find...
