Community Reviews
This Scotts crabgrass preventer is valued for early-season pre emergent control and lawn feeding in one bag, with roughly three months of prevention and coverage up to 5,000 square feet per bag. It is also described as useful on lawns and some landscaped areas, though timing matters because warm weather or soil above 60 degrees can make application too late. The main cautions are that it can kill new fall overseeding and that weed and feed formulas are viewed as less effective than separate products. The deal is seen as strong on price versus recent alternatives.
Common Questions (5)
Apply it before crabgrass germinates, ideally when soil temperatures are still below 60°F. If a heatwave has already pushed conditions warm, it may be too late; in North Carolina, one timing rule mentioned is to have it down by Valentine's Day unless unusually warm weather arrives early.
It can be used in landscaped areas with grass and weeds, but multiple applications may be needed. For bare soil, prodiamine is suggested instead, while existing weeds may need spot treatment or a blanket spray such as Roundup.
Yes. It can kill new growth if you overseed in the fall, so it should not be used where new grass seed is trying to establish. Scotts does make a pre-emergent that is compatible with new growth, but that version only lasts about 6 weeks instead of roughly 3 months.
No. It primarily targets crabgrass and some other grassy weeds, but it does not feed the lawn, so it is not a true weed-and-feed product. Separate weed control and fertilizer products are the better approach if you want both jobs done well.
It is described as providing about 3 months of prevention. A Scotts pre-emergent that is safe for new growth is mentioned as lasting only about 6 weeks, which is the tradeoff for overseeding compatibility.

You need a liquid sprayer though. But the investment in that quickly pays you back since $79 gets you more and better coverage

Pro tip. Apply at 1/2 the rate about a month apart... that's called split apps for all season coverage
