Above Ground Gardening and Grubs

Question

I started my garden in jiffy strips and recently had to move. As I was working on the yard, I discovered grubs. I was originally just going to move the strips into the ground (I have a nice rich/dark soil) but now I am considering building an above the ground alternative. Would this keep the grubs away? If not, is there anything I can do this season?

A raised bed is certainly helpful, but you may still need to treat the remaining yard as well.
