GreenView Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer Weed & Feed - 1

In this review of GreenView Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer Weed & Feed, the bottom line is simple: it is designed for homeowners who want a single, seasonal application that combines a crabgrass preventer, broadleaf weed killer and fertilizer. The product stands out because one application is formulated to deliver three lawn treatments, with a proprietary mix that targets dandelions and seedling crabgrass at the same time while feeding with a 65% slow-release nitrogen blend for up to 12 weeks. It is most useful on established warm- and cool-season turf listed on the label and carries the GreenView Yard Wide Guarantee for added confidence.

Key Features

• Three-in-one formula: Prevents crabgrass, kills broadleaf weeds and feeds the lawn with a single spring application for time and labor savings.
• Broad weed control: Proprietary weed control targets over 200 named weeds, including dandelions, delivering comprehensive broadleaf weed management.
• Crabgrass prevention and control: Prevents and can destroy crabgrass up to four weeks after germination, which helps stop new summer patches when timed at dandelion bloom.
• Slow-release feeding: 65% slow-release nitrogen provides steady, even feeding that supports lawn recovery and color for up to 12 weeks.
• Large coverage: The 18 lb bag treats up to 5,000 sq ft, making it practical for typical suburban lawns with one application.

Who It's For

Homeowners with established bahiagrass, bermudagrass, buffalograss, centipedegrass, fine fescues, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescues or zoysiagrass will get the most from this product because it is labeled for those turf types and combines prevention, weed control and feeding in one step. Those who prefer a low-effort spring routine and want steady feeding without frequent reapplications will appreciate the slow-release nitrogen and the Yard Wide Guarantee.

People who should look elsewhere include anyone with St. Augustine grass in Florida, dichondra or carpet grass, where the label warns of possible serious lawn injury. Also, this item is not available for sale in AK, CA or HI, so residents in those states must choose a different local product.
