Sod Webworms in Houston: Signs, Damage & Treatment

At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we regularly help homeowners identify and treat sod webworms in Houston and surrounding areas before serious turf loss occurs....

One of the biggest misconceptions in lawn care is that there's a quick fix.

There usually isn't.

The difference between these photos wasn't one application, one treatment, or one miracle product. It was a year of consistent care, proper timing, and patience.

Healthy lawns are built over time through:
🌱 Consistent fertilization
🌱 Ongoing w**d control
🌱 Proper watering
🌱 Regular monitoring and adjustments

That's why lawn care isn't about what happens after one visit... it's about what happens after dozens of small steps working together.

This transformation didn't happen overnight, but the results speak for themselves.

Consistency wins. Every time.

🚨 Grub Alert! 🚨

We found this grub during a recent lawn inspection, and it's a good reminder that grub season is here.

Grubs feed on grassroots below the surface, which can lead to thinning turf, brown patches, and lawns that feel soft or spongy underfoot.

Here are a few signs to watch for, straight from our management team:
✅ Grass pulls up easily like loose carpet
✅ Soft, spongy areas in the lawn
✅ Irregular brown patches that don't improve with watering

Want to check for grubs? Dig a small area about 1 square foot and 1–2 inches deep. If you find multiple grubs in that section, it may be time to take action.

Not sure what you're seeing? Send us a photo or give us a call. We're happy to help identify the issue.

It’s easy to compare lawn care companies based on price alone.

But lawn care isn’t really a commodity.

Because at the end of the day, you’re not just paying for someone to spray your lawn—you’re paying for:
• Proper timing
• Product knowledge
• Problem diagnosis
• Consistent monitoring
• Communication
• Long-term results

Two companies may offer “fertilization & w**d control,” but the experience and outcome can be completely different.

A healthy lawn doesn’t happen by accident—and it usually doesn’t happen from the cheapest option either.

At GreenGate, we focus on doing things the right way, not the fastest way.

If your lawn suddenly has random w**ds popping up everywhere… you’re not alone 🌱

Warm temperatures + spring rain have created the perfect conditions for w**ds to take off across Houston lawns right now.

These are some of the most common ones we’re seeing lately:
✔️ Crabgrass
✔️ Nutsedge
✔️ Dollarw**d
✔️ Spurge
✔️ Virginia Buttonw**d

And unfortunately, once they start spreading, they move fast.

The good news?
The earlier w**ds are identified and treated, the easier they are to control.
