Lawn Builder New Lawns & Repairs

Suitable for:

  • All types of lawn grass including buffalo & lawn substitutes
  • Use when sowing or laying new turf

Scotts® Lawn Builder™ New Lawns & Repairs is a slow release granular lawn fertiliser with a special starter formula to promote root growth.

Use this fertiliser when laying new turf or when establishing a lawn from seed.

When to use

Apply Lawn Builder New Lawns & Repairs before or after

  • laying new turf
  • seeding a new lawn
  • reseeding bare patches

Quick tip

Once lawns are more than 2 months old they need different formulation that promotes more leaf growth.

Lawn Builder Regular or Lawn Builder + Wetting Agent  are both suitable for all lawn types.

Why Lawn Builder New Lawns & Repairs works so well

This fertiliser contains patented time release buffered nitrogen that is safe for tender young grass plants. High phosphorus levels encourage strong root growth.

How to use

Calculate and measure out the amount needed to fertilise the lawn (18g per m2.) Using a Scotts spreader is strongly recommended.  Water in immediately and keep soil moist during initial establishment phase.

Sizes

Available in 2.5kg bags.

Be aware

  • Do not apply when the temperature is expected to exceed 30 degrees. Autumn and spring are the best times to establish new lawns.
  • This fertiliser has an NPK of 20 : 12 : 4.
  • Sweep granules off paths and paving to avoid iron staining.
