First to control crabgrass you get a much better bang for your buck with granular prodiamine, and mixing it with water. And doing a liquid application with a sprayer. Example I bought 5lbs of this last spring and I should have enough for 2x applications each year for 2+ years on my 1 acre proprety. That 5lb container cost me about $90. The coverage and effectiveness of this is much better than anything Scotts will sell you.

Fertilizer wise, Lesco from your local siteone can be bought for less than Scotts on the regular.

Tip from experience, buy your fertilizer off season when its on clearance. Big savings to be had there. In the end nitrogen is nitrogen. I haven't really seen any difference in Scotts, to Lesco... to off brand
I had this spreader and it was pretty awful. The wheels are hollow and you can get buildup in the wheels. You can mitigate this by covering it up. The other problem is the slinger is set too low and a portion will be blocked by the wheels. If you're spreading fertilizer, it will cause striping in your lawn.
Deal for larger spreader and larger bags also available which I'm considering for a larger lawn.

The spreader is worthless trash. Not sure what te going rate is on the rest. I'll take my chances and quickly pass on this.

What I do not like about scotts is some bags good for 5k coverage, some 4k coverage. Other brands dont change coverage size. Know some bags you are putting it on weaker. I also find the 5k bags are weak for a half acre lot. I buy the 10k bags from the competition. If you have a feed store nearby, they have it cheaper too. As for the spreader, buy one with adjustable coverage so you can use it for grubs, insect, and other applications.

Be careful if you have St Augustine or Bermuda. The winter guard isn't for these grass types. You need the "southern" label.

Check Ace Hardware for the 4-step program that covers 15,000 ft. The price should be $290.
There is always a rebate available for this product line. This year, it is $60.

It's a pretty great deal, given that it includes the spreader. For someone just starting out it's about as good as you'll do for the rest of this year.

The best way, in my experience, to buy fertilizer is to shop during the clearances. I picked up 160 pounds of "regular" summer fertilizer, 80lbs of weed and feed, and 120lbs of crabgrass/halts for under $60 from Home Depot in December.

If you don't care about the spreader and/or need the southern versions there's a 4 bag set, 50000 sq ft on amazon says limited deal for $97.22

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NQFP...tarsLeft=1

I worked at Lowes for 4 years, some of the best plans for southern lawns like Bermuda have been mentioned here, just to add what I do each year. I try to get just a crabgrass preventer down around Valentine's Day depending on how warm/cold it's been (although here in NC we went from 75 to 30 as the high in one week). If you already see it sprouting you're too late. Tip is to look at cherry blossoms and see if they're blooming yet. I don't put fertilizer just the crabgrass preventer, bc my Bermuda is still dormant. Fertilizer I'll do in late March/April again depending on the weather, and any emerging crabgrass I use Quinclorac in a pump sprayer. Kills any crabgrass it touches

Something I saw about the spreader: "Pre Calibrated". Pretty sure that means non-adjustable. So it would be locked into the spread rate for these products. You wouldn't be able to adjust it to use other products, such as insecticide, moss killer, or lime should you need to spread them at a different rate.

While the 4 bag "deal" without the crappy spreader on amazon is $141.99 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NLZ4...ubs_1?th=1

I want the 4 pack of fertilizer, but I don't want to deal with the spreader.

I don't like broadcast spreaders vs drop. But, my lawn's "only" 5,000sf.

Who told you guys you could have lawns down there?
East Texas is very, very, green.
West Texas is very dry.
Central Texas is mixed with pastures and the hill country, slightly dry.

Put out pre-emergence here in Georgia 2 weeks ago. Better to be a little early than 2 days late!
Sent in soil for testing in January - $15 from the local county. Now I know that I need to add lime (I always need lime!) and to do with an even x-x-x fertilizer (vs x-y-z or x-0-z). Also low on iron, so need to add some of that this year.
Haven't used overpriced Scotts stuff in about 15 yrs.
Definitely buy fertilizer during clearance and don't open the bags. Moisture is a major hassle for any granular delivery to your lawn.
Pro Tip: Search for "average soil temperature {zipcode}" to find when your soil hits 55deg. Apply a pre-emergent herbicide immediately. Water in (1 inch) if you use granular pre-emergent. If you are lucky, it will rain 1in the next day, so you don't need to water it in.
