Product Information
Full details
Vitax Green Up Lawn Sand is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to maintain a lush, moss-free lawn during the spring and summer months. This dual-action treatment acts as both a moss controller and a lawn tonic, promoting a deep, vibrant green color while improving overall turf health. While it is highly effective for lawn care, users should exercise caution during application to prevent staining on paved areas or patios, as the iron content can cause discoloration on hard surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use this product on a newly seeded lawn?
No, it is recommended to wait until the lawn is well-established, usually at least 6 months after seeding.
How long until I can let my dog onto the lawn?
Wait until the product has been thoroughly watered in and the grass is completely dry before allowing pets onto the treated area.
Does it kill weeds as well?
No, this product is specifically formulated for moss control and lawn greening; it does not contain selective herbicides for weed removal.
What is the best time of day to apply?
Apply during a calm, dry day, preferably in the morning to avoid the heat of the midday sun.
Can I use this in autumn?
It is best reserved for spring and summer when grass is actively growing. Autumn application may not provide the same benefits.
Troubleshooting
The grass has turned slightly yellow after application
This is often a sign of temporary nutrient stress or uneven application. Ensure the lawn is well-watered and avoid over-applying the product in one area.
Moss is not turning black
Check if the lawn was moist enough before application. The product works best when applied to slightly damp grass or followed by a light watering.
Stains on my patio
Sweep any accidental granules off hard surfaces immediately. Once iron-based products have reacted with water on stone, stains are very difficult to remove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success with Vitax Green Up Lawn Sand, follow these guidelines:
- Preparation: Mow the lawn a few days before application. Ensure the lawn is free from debris.
- Application: Use a calibrated garden spreader for even distribution. Avoid hand-spreading if possible, as it is difficult to achieve consistent coverage.
- Safety: Wear gloves during handling and avoid contact with eyes or skin. Keep pets and children off the treated area until the sand has been fully watered into the soil.
- Surface Protection: Be extremely careful when filling your spreader near a patio or driveway. The iron content will cause stubborn rust-like stains on paving slabs, brickwork, and decking.
- Post-Application: If rain does not fall within 48 hours, lightly water the lawn to help the treatment penetrate the soil and reach the root zone.
