LESCO 13-0-5 Stonewall Pre-Emergent 0.43% Plus Fertilizer

A lush, inviting lawn is the goal of many homeowners, but your lawn needs help from you to look its best. LESCO 13-0-5 Stonewall Pre-Emergent with 0.43% Fertilizer Stonewall is a blend of a pre-emergent and post-emergent for a two-in-one combination on warm and cool season turf to keep lawns healthier and greener throughout the season.

Not only does this product prevent weeds before they germinate, it also feeds your lawn with essential nutrients that help promote stronger, greener grass. Formulated with biosolids, iron, nitrogen, and potassium, LESCO 13-0-5 provides long-lasting lawn health while reducing the potential for nutrient loss.

Active Ingredients

The active ingredient, phenylenediamine (.43%), acts as a pre-emergence herbicide for weeds that disrupt your lawn before they start growing. This works well if you have invasive weeds that threaten to overtake the desirable turfgrass. Use LESCO Stonewall as directed to greatly reduce the number of annual grassy weeds, including crabgrass, and broadleaf weeds.

Key Features

The ideal mix of weed control and natural lawn food to thicken your lawn. LESCO 13-0-5 Stonewall Pre-Emergent 0.43% Plus Fertilizer stops weed growth and sustains even nourishment to maintain your lawn healthy and strong.

Made with exclusive, all-in-one, water-smart, proprietary coating technology, it promotes early grass establishment and greening in 6 days, and has a large particle size, so it's easy to use and apply.

1. Pre-Emergent Weed Control for a Weed-Free Lawn

The pre-emergent herbicide doesn’t let the weeds grow back up, so you can also have a weed-free lawn. Post-emergent products, like conventional herbicides, will only do half the job — they will only kill what’s there. LESCO Stonewall prevents weeds before they even begin, saving you from hours of hand-weeding or post-application herbicide sprays.

2. Balanced Fertilization with 13-0-5 Nutrient Ratio

The 13-0-5 contains important ingredients for lush turf growth, including:

• 13% Nitrogen (N): Patented stabilizer that allows for direct to plant watering, feeding the lawn for rapid lush green growth and quick dark green color for your best looking lawn
• 0% Phosphorous (P): Great for mature lawns that do not need (or want) phosphorous to promote new root development
• 5% Potassium (K):  Superior disease resistance, drought tolerance, improved overall plant health

This delivers slow feeding, steady feeding for all the plants of your lawn.

3. Biosolids for Sustainable Nutrient Release

What makes LESCO 13-0-5 Stonewall special is that it is a biosolid-based product, and this enhances soil health with:

• Long-lasting, slow-release formula promotes healthier turf that remains greener longer
• Through improving soil structure and enhancing water holding capacity and microbial activity
• It’s good for the environment because you can substantially cut nutrient runoff.

Biosolids add organic matter to the soil, which increases its capacity to hold nutrients and water, making conditions favourable for the growth of turf.

4. Iron for a Deep Green Lawn

Iron is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in chlorophyll production, which is responsible for the green color of plants. LESCO Stonewall contains added iron to:

• Prevent iron deficiency (chlorosis), which can cause yellowing in grass
• Ensure optimal photosynthesis for healthy, dense turf
• Improve the aesthetic appeal of the lawn with a rich, vibrant green color

5. Extended Nutrient Release with PolyPlus OPTI45

It contains 30 percent PolyPlus OPTI45, or controlled-release nitrogen technology, so the nutrients are released over time. This would minimize the loss of nutrients by leaching and maintain a continuous supply of nitrogen in the vicinity, rather than having to apply it more than once.

6. Effective Year-Round Application

It can also be used in the spring and fall to help keep your lawn clear and in good health, so it’s a versatile part of your seasonal lawn care program. The springtime application can serve as a means to tamp down summer weeds before they start, and the fall timeframe will help the lawn amp up as it heads into the coldest months.

7. Long Waiting Period for Seeding (90-120 Days)

This product has a pre-emergent herbicide in it, so you need to wait 90 -120 days to seed or plant. This allows time for the herbicide to break down before the new seed comes in. For homeowners who are looking to seed a new lawn, it’s important to apply this fertilizer early enough in the season for the pre-emergent to dissipate.

8. Easy-to-Use Granular Delivery System

LESCO Stonewall is a dense granule material that can be spread using a spreader to provide even application and full coverage for your lawns and property. Granules offer:

• Uniform fertilizer and herbicide application
• Less drift than with liquid herbicides
• Slow feeding, for healthy lawns all season long

Application Instructions

For the best results, here’s how you should apply it:

1. Measure Up Your Lawn Space: Work out the square footage to establish how much product you need.
2. Calibrate Your Spreader: Calibrate your spreader per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Spread evenly: Walk evenly while spreading the granules along the lawn.
4. Water After Applying: Light watering aids in activating the herbicide and actually helps it penetrate the soil.

Safety Precautions

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Keep in a cool, dry place that is free of moisture.
• Use according to all label directions for best results
