Weed & Feed for UK Lawns: Keep Your Grass Healthy and Weed-Free

Weed & Feed for UK Lawns: Keep Your Grass Healthy and Weed-Free

What is Weed & Feed and Why Use It?

Weed & feed products combine fertiliser with selective weed control, giving your lawn a dual benefit: promoting strong growth while controlling broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, clover, and daisies.

This method is ideal for home gardens, councils, professional landscapers, sports facilities, and large estates, ensuring lawns are lush, even, and weed-free.

Using high-quality products, like those offered by GardenersSupplies.co.uk, guarantees safe, effective weed control while feeding your grass.

Benefits of Weed & Feed Fertilisers

  • Stronger, greener grass: Nitrogen-rich fertiliser stimulates growth

  • Weed control: Selectively targets broadleaf weeds without harming grass

  • Time-saving: Combines fertilising and weed treatment in one application

  • Professional results: Suitable for lawns on estates, sports pitches, and public areas

  • Supports biodiversity: Properly managed lawns encourage beneficial insects while reducing weed competition

Step 1: Choosing the Right Weed & Feed Product

  • Granular formulations: Ideal for medium to large lawns, easy to spread evenly

  • Liquid formulations: Useful for smaller areas, rapid absorption

  • Professional turf mixes: Designed for sports fields and high-use areas

  • Consider season: Early spring products boost growth; summer mixes target actively growing weeds

Pro Tip: GardenersSupplies.co.uk stocks a range of weed & feed fertilisers suitable for gardens, estates, and sports facilities.

Step 2: Timing Your Applications

Spring (March–May):

  • Apply when grass and weeds are actively growing

  • Avoid frost and waterlogged soil

Summer (June–August):

  • Ideal for controlling late-growing weeds

  • Water lightly if the soil is dry to aid absorption

Avoid:

  • Applying during hot, dry spells (risk of lawn burn)

  • Applying on recently seeded lawns until grass is established

Step 3: Preparing Your Lawn

  • Mow before application: Remove long grass to allow granules or spray to reach the soil

  • Clear debris: Leaves and moss reduce effectiveness

  • Mark boundaries: Protect flower beds and shrubs from drift

Step 4: Applying Weed & Feed

  • Granular products: Use a rotary or drop spreader for even distribution

  • Liquid sprays: Follow dilution instructions carefully

  • Water in lightly: Helps fertiliser penetrate the soil and enhances weed control

  • Safety: Wear gloves and follow product label instructions

Step 5: Aftercare

  • Avoid cutting for 2–3 days: Allows the product to work effectively

  • Monitor weeds: Spot-treat any persistent patches

  • Maintain lawn: Regular mowing and overseeding where needed

  • Follow-up: Apply a standard fertiliser in 6–8 weeks to continue feeding
