Healthier, Greener Grass
The feed part of lawn weed and feed packs a punch. These treatments are loaded with essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus everything your lawn needs to thrive.
The benefits of nutrient-rich lawn feed:
- Boosts grass colour and thickness
- Encourages root growth for long-term strength
- Improves drought resistance and resilience
According to the Royal Horticultural Society, regularly feeding your lawn can increase density by up to 25%, helping grass outcompete weeds naturally.
Say Goodbye to Weeds (for Good)
Dandelions, clover, moss they all love to take over a tired lawn. But weed and feed treatments contain selective herbicides that target unwanted plants without harming your grass.
Weed control benefits include:
- Removes broadleaf weeds like dandelions and buttercups
- Prevents weed seeds from spreading
- Reduces the need for constant weeding
With just 1–2 applications a year, you’ll see fewer weeds and a thicker, more even lawn. No more kneeling down pulling them out one by one!
