Scotts Turf Builder 30‑0‑4 Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food is an effective granular lawn treatment that combines a pre-emergent weed barrier with lawn fertilizer to prevent weeds like crabgrass, barnyard grass, foxtail, chickweed, Poa annua, and oxalis, while delivering a fast winter recovery green-up. Designed for early spring application on dry lawns before the 3rd–4th mowing, it promotes strong root development and season-long weed protection.
Active Ingredient & Analysis
Pendimethalin (pre-emergent herbicide): 1.29%
Nitrogen (N): 30%
Phosphate (P₂O₅): 0%
Potash (K₂O): 4%
Benefits
- Prevents crabgrass and other grassy weeds before they sprout
- Enhances color recovery and root strength after winter
- Offers season-long protection through spring and early summer
- Effective even if exposed to rain, snow, or freezing conditions
Application Instructions
Apply to a dry lawn in early spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing, when temperatures remain below the 80s. Spread evenly using a Scotts spreader (broadcast/rotary setting: 3; drop spreader: 6). After application, water in with ¼–½ inch of water within 2–3 days.
Coverage & Packaging
13.35 lb granular bag covers up to 5,000 sq ft. Also available in larger 15,000 sq ft sizes.
Not for use on dichondra or bentgrass lawns.
Safety & Precautions
Keep out of reach of children. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid applying on windy days to prevent drift. Do not apply to lawns containing dichondra or bentgrass.
Suitable Turf Types
- Kentucky bluegrass
- Perennial ryegrass
- Tall fescue
- Fine fescue
Timing & Weather Tips
Apply in early spring before soil temperatures rise above 55–60°F. Timing prior to 3rd–4th lawn mowing ensures optimum weed prevention. Ideal weather is calm, with no rain expected immediately—but product remains effective even in water or freeze.
FAQ
Can I use it after crabgrass has sprouted? No — it prevents new weeds only, does not kill existing ones.
Can I overseed after application? Wait at least 3–4 months before reseeding to avoid hindering new grass.
Storage & Disposal
Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry place. Do not reuse or refill the bag. Dispose of empty packaging in household trash or recycling where available.
