Lawn Science Since 1868

Proprietary Technology

Six innovations that make Scotts the leader in lawn care — developed through decades of turf science research and engineered for results in Florida's unique climate.

Turf Builder Slow-Release Nitrogen

Feeds up to 8 weeks

Feeds your lawn gradually over weeks, not days. Slow-release nitrogen technology delivers consistent nourishment without surge growth or burn risk — ideal for Florida's year-round growing season.

WeedGrip Technology

Grips & kills weeds

Granules grip onto weed leaves on contact, delivering targeted control where it's needed. The unique particle shape adheres to broadleaf weeds while feeding your lawn underneath.

All-in-One Particles

Even coverage

Every granule contains the same precise blend of nutrients — no streaking, no uneven feeding. Uniform particle technology ensures consistent lawn coverage with every pass of your spreader.

Water Smart Coating

2x water absorption

Proprietary coating helps grass seed absorb and retain twice the water compared to uncoated seed, improving germination rates even in Florida's sandy soils and hot conditions.

EZ Seed Technology

Grows anywhere

A combination of seed, mulch, and fertilizer in one application. The super-absorbent growing material expands to surround the seed, keeping it moist and protected during germination.

Thick'R Lawn Formula

3-in-1 solution

Three-in-one solution that combines seed, fertilizer, and soil improver to fill in thin and bare spots. Designed to thicken your existing lawn without starting over from scratch.

Build a Better Lawn — Trusted Since 1868

From proper feeding schedules to seed selection and weed prevention, Scotts delivers expert lawn care solutions that produce real results in Southwest Florida's unique climate.

Florida Lawn Care Calendar

Spring & Summer (March – September)

March–April: Apply Scotts Turf Builder Southern Lawn Food to kick off the growing season. This is peak time for St. Augustine and Bahia grass to establish strong root systems.
May–June: Apply Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer early, then switch to Scotts Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed for active weed control. Water deeply but infrequently.
July–September: Apply GrubEx to prevent chinch bugs and grub damage. Continue feeding every 6–8 weeks with Turf Builder. Mow St. Augustine at 3.5–4 inches.

Fall & Winter (October – February)

October–November: Apply a fall feeding of Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard to strengthen roots before cooler temperatures. Overseed bare or thin spots with Scotts EZ Seed.
December–January: Florida lawns slow down but rarely go fully dormant. Reduce mowing frequency and watering. Avoid heavy fertilization during this period.
February: Begin spring prep — apply Scotts Halts as a pre-emergent before weeds germinate. Sharpen mower blades and adjust irrigation for the upcoming growing season.
