If your lawn in Mosman, the North Shore or Northern Beaches is suddenly looking dry, patchy, or brown, even though you’re watering it regularly, lawn grubs could be to blame. These small but destructive pests are common in Sydney’s coastal suburbs and can damage your lawn quickly if not treated properly.
What Are Lawn Grubs?
Lawn grubs (also called white curl grubs) are beetle larvae that feed on the roots of your grass. As they consume the root system, your lawn becomes weak, dry, and unable to absorb water and nutrients. If left untreated, grubs can cause significant dieback across large sections of turf.
They’re most active during the warmer months — especially late spring to early autumn — making seasonal lawn care and landscape maintenance essential.
Signs You Might Have Lawn Grubs
Here’s what to look out for:
- Patches of dry, brown, or thinning grass
- Birds (like Magpies or Mynas) digging into your lawn
- Turf that feels spongy or lifts away easily
- Small, white, C-shaped grubs under the soil
If you’re seeing these signs in your lawn — especially in Mosman the North Shore or the Northern Beaches — it’s best to act fast. Grubs can spread quickly and leave your lawn in need of major repair.
