Scotts Step 1 Crabgrass Preventer Plus Lawn Food is a granular lawn fertilizer designed to tackle two critical spring lawn challenges at once: controlling crabgrass and feeding your lawn for rapid green-up after winter. This product improves your lawn’s ability to absorb water and nutrients, helping it recover quickly when temperatures warm.
With a 28-0-7 N-P-K ratio, this formulation is applied in early spring for a fast green-up after winter. The crabgrass control lasts up to four months. One 13.46-pound bag covers up to 5,000 square feet. Step 1 is the first component of the Scotts 4-Step annual program, designed to work together for comprehensive lawn care throughout the year.
