Potting mixture for vertical gardens?

So i'm repotting all my DIY vertical garden wall frames because the grubs have badly attacked all my sempervivums. I'm planning to replant using a heavy mix of pumice and peat less potting mix (a store bought cactus mix) in order to prevent grub problem in the future. I'm also mixing in some Bonide Imidacloprid granules to protect even further. Does this sound like a good idea? I'm a bit worried the pumice will make the frames heavy and cause the soil to erode but the perlite breaks down and I heard grubs hate digging through pumice. Pic is from spring, hoping I can get it to look like that again, minus the grubs
