Using the Westland Safelawn Spreader for Life
- Application Season: Apply from early spring through autumn when the grass is actively growing. Avoid application during frost or drought conditions.

- Spreader Settings: Adjust the spreader to the recommended application setting (typically outlined on the packaging).
- Application Rate: Apply evenly across the lawn, following the recommended rate to avoid over- or under-fertilizing.
Tips for Effective Spreading
- Even Distribution: Walk at a steady pace and keep the spreader moving at all times to ensure an even application across the entire area.
- Edge Care: When working around edges, reduce the spreader flow to avoid waste and keep product off paths or driveways.
- Repeat Applications: For optimal results, apply every 6-8 weeks during the growing season, from spring through autumn.
Key Care Instructions
Pre-Application Preparation
- Lawn Preparation: Remove large weeds and mow the grass a few days before application. Grass should be dry to ensure that the granules spread evenly.
- Weather Conditions: Apply when rain is not expected for at least 48 hours, as excess moisture may wash away nutrients before they’re absorbed by the soil.
- Safety Precautions: Though safe for pets and children, it’s best to allow the product to settle into the grass for a day before allowing play or pet activity on the lawn.
Post-Application Care
- Watering: Lightly water the lawn after 48 hours if there has been no rainfall. This helps granules dissolve and absorb into the soil, activating the nutrients.
- Lawn Use: Keep children and pets off the lawn immediately after application and during the first watering. After this, normal use can resume.
- Lawn Mowing: Delay mowing for about a week after application to allow nutrients to penetrate the soil fully and benefit the grass.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Uneven Growth: If certain areas grow faster or look greener, it may indicate uneven spreading. Ensure a consistent walking pace and controlled spread rate during the next application.
- Weed Growth: Westland Safelawn promotes thick, healthy grass that naturally suppresses weeds, but stubborn weeds may require spot treatments with a selective lawn-safe herbicide.
- Patchy Spots: Regular feeding can improve patchiness over time. For severe patches, consider overseeding with a compatible grass seed blend for a more uniform lawn.
Lawn Maintenance Tips with Westland Safelawn Spreader
Seasonal Care
- Spring and Early Summer: This is the ideal time to start feeding the lawn. Apply Westland Safelawn in early spring to jumpstart growth and again in early summer to maintain lush, green grass.
- Late Summer and Early Autumn: An application in late summer helps the lawn recover from heavy foot traffic and summer heat, while an autumn feed prepares grass for winter dormancy.
- Winter Consideration: Avoid using the spreader during winter. Instead, apply a winter-specific lawn treatment for added frost protection and to prevent lawn diseases.
Environmental Benefits
- Soil Enrichment: Westland Safelawn contains beneficial bacteria that break down organic matter, improving soil structure and nutrient availability.
- Sustainable Growth: This product is free of pesticides and harmful chemicals, supporting healthier soil microbes, and promoting a balanced lawn ecosystem.
- Natural Weed Control: A thick, healthy lawn grown with organic nutrients reduces the need for chemical weed control, as it outcompetes most weeds naturally.
Best Practices for Longevity
- Storage: Store the spreader and product in a dry, cool place to maintain product efficacy. Avoid exposure to moisture as it may clump the granules.
- Spreader Maintenance: Clean the spreader after each use to prevent build-up and ensure smooth operation. Check for any blockages or uneven flow issues before storage.
- Application Consistency: Use consistent application rates and patterns to avoid nutrient burn, which can occur from excess fertilizer in certain spots.
Summary of Care and Use
- Application Frequency: Every 6-8 weeks from spring to autumn.
- Weather Conditions: Apply in dry conditions, avoiding rainy periods within the first 48 hours.
- Pet and Child Safety: Safe for use in family yards but avoid contact immediately after application.
- Lawn Use: Resume regular use of the lawn after a day and a light watering.
