Expert Response
Unfortunately Ask Extension policy is not to do onsite inspections (not enough resources). If your county has a park system maybe there is a naturalist who might be able to make a visit or suggest someone who can.
You can check fir grubs yourself by removing several one square foot pieces of turf and soil and looking to see if any white grubs are observed. less than ~12 per square foot won't hurt a healthy lawn but may still attract skunks and raccoons to 'dinner'.
Here are some links to articles on grubs and their prevention:
