Types of Grass Seed and Lawn Fertilizer Spreaders

Spreaders are a highly effective way to take care of your lawn. They allow you to easily administer grass seeds, fertilizer or soil conditioner to keep your property looking healthy and green, season after season.

Whenever you apply any dry treatment to your lawn, a Scotts spreader is a must-have piece of equipment. Although there are many types of lawn spreaders available, from push spreaders to handheld seed spreaders, most devices fall within the following categories.

Broadcast Spreaders

A Scotts broadcast spreader will make lawn maintenance a breeze if you're applying a product over wider areas. Broadcast spreaders quickly and efficiently distribute product, making them ideal for large lawns and landscaping areas. Adjustable settings allow you to control how much of your granules or fertilizer is dispersed.

Drop Spreaders

If accuracy is your main priority, a Scotts drop spreader, or push spreader, causes the material to fall onto the lawn in a designated application width. Drop spreaders make it easier to control which areas you treat. Simply pour your fertilizer or seed into the Scotts push spreader’s bin or hopper and adjust the dial to decide how much you want to distribute as you push. 

Handheld Spreaders

A great choice for smaller projects like seeding or repairing bare spots, handheld fertilizer spreaders from Scotts offer effortless mobility. These compact, crank-style devices also provide greater accuracy than other spreader options.

Tips for Using a Scotts Fertilizer Spreader

Fertilizer and seed spreaders are easy to use, but different models could have different directions, so checking the instructions on your specific product is always a good idea.

Here are some universal tips to get you started:

1. Read the label on the back of the product you're working with to identify and set the appropriate distribution rate and pattern.
2. Load the spreader on a flat, stable surface like a driveway or walkway.
3. For best results, move at a steady pace whenever you're applying the material.
4. Establish a clear border for dispersal to prevent the product from reaching a garden bed.
5. Each time you make a turn or stop, close the opening of the spreader.
