Community Reviews

Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food is a pre emergent lawn treatment that stops crabgrass and other seeds from germinating while feeding the lawn. The comments also point to practical timing cues, like applying before soil temperatures reach about 55 degrees or when forsythia blooms, and watering it in or spreading it before rain. The main caution is that it also blocks new grass seed, so overseeding has to wait. Some also feel it is too late in warmer areas or less effective than pro grade options.

  • Homeowners timing spring crabgrass prevention, because it stops crabgrass and other seeds from germinating when applied before soil warms up.

  • Lawn caretakers who want a pre-emergent before grass starts greening, because it fits the window before germination and before overseeding.

  • People covering a large yard on a tight seasonal schedule, because one bag can be stocked for next season and still deliver effective prevention.

    fgld73RockItHTN

  • Homeowners who already see crabgrass germinating, because a pre-emergent is too late and a post-emergent product is needed instead.

    pod7381pod7381pod7381Frango1

  • Lawn owners planning to overseed soon, because it also prevents new grass seed from germinating.

    TimP3986

  • People expecting professional-grade coverage from a small amount, because it may take about six times more product to match a pro-grade pre-emergent.

    FairLlama960

  • Shoppers wanting a fertilizer with phosphorus, because this formula is phosphorus-free.

2 things to keep in mind: 1️⃣ This will also prevent new gras seed from germinating. So, you cannot overseed at the most beneficial time of the year. 2️⃣ All of the lawn fertilizers are now devoid of phosphorous; one of the most beneficial components of fertilizer. So, all the lawn fertilizers are now missing 1/3 of the components they used to have ... and they have raised the prices 🤔Brilliant buisness plan; provide less at a higher cost 💰💰💰 Go get yourself some 12-12-12 general use fertilizer at a fraction of the price and pull the crabby's out by hand before they go to seed in the early fall. No more crabby's ... no more poison in your lawn 😉

Not in upstate NY. If you have any forsythia bushes (or neighbors), you wait for that to bloom (bright yellow flower)and that's your key to getting this Crabgrass preventer down.
