Questions & Answers

When is a good time to apply this

Last Week of August.

    Hello and thanks for your question. We suggest applying Scotts Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Lawn Food as the last feeding of the lawn between September and early November. It is best to apply it prior to the first heavy frost. To get the best results, apply when lawn is dry then water in for approximately 5 minutes after application. (Note: There are very few exceptions to this rule, and they rarely come up).

        What is the difference between fall fertilizer and winter fertilizer
        ByDec 14, 2025
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Fall fertilizer helps promote early season growth and helps protect root development. While winter fertilizer is applied to help the grass store the energy it needs to produce a healthy lawn in early spring and protect itself during cold winter temperatures.

              In central OK mid November. Most of my grass is yellow but the weeds are growing. Is it too late to apply since grass is yellow?
              ByNov 22, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              We appreciate you reaching out about the Turf Builder Winterguard Fall Lawn Food. We suggest using this product when the grass is actively growing and when daytime temperatures should be consistently 60 degrees before application. We do not recommend applying to a dormant lawn. In the fall, bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue all enter dormancy. The grass changing color from a dark green to light green or yellow is an indication that it is going into dormancy for the year. If there is anything we can do to help you have a great experience, please contact our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714 for assistance.

                    My front lawn needed some TLC and I have definitely seen improvement since using the fertilizer, there are a few dry spots so I might need a second bag but I feel it has been helpful with growth from Spring going into Summer.

                    The grass seed was planted and now growing. My lawn is filling out nicely and I’m very happy with it.

                    I bought this product and now my lawn has multiple damaged areas. I even purchased a Scott's spreader and followed all directions. Awful product that damaged my lawn which I kept in good shape all summer.

                        mixed sizes for large yard??
                        I ordered the year round for large yards 15k sq ft. For some reason, I received a 15k sq ft turf builder halts crab grass and a 15k sq ft summer guard, BUT I only got 12k sq ft of weed and feed and winter guard. Now I will have to go back to the store and buy more product just to cover my yard. Makes NO sense....
