Why NZLA Starter is the best choice for new lawns

Getting a lawn established is one of the most critical stages of lawn care. NZLA Starter uses the same polymer and sulphur-coated urea (PCSCU) technology trusted in the professional turf industry. This ensures both immediate nutrient availability and a steady slow release that supports your new grass during its most important growth phase.

Where cheap agricultural fertilisers can burn seedlings or release nutrients too quickly, NZLA Starter delivers controlled feeding for consistent results.

Key benefits for Kiwi lawns

• High phosphorus content to accelerate root development
• Added iron and micronutrients (Mn, Zn, Cu) for healthy plant metabolism
• Reliable slow release for up to 12 weeks of growth
• Professional turf-grade quality, now available to New Zealand homeowners

How it compares to standard starter fertilisers

Most starter fertilisers sold in garden centres are based on basic agricultural formulations. They often lack coating technology and break down too fast, putting your lawn at risk of weak roots and nutrient loss. NZLA Starter is different — it’s a premium, professional product imported from the USA, using advanced turf prill technology for consistent, long-lasting performance.

Perfect for new lawns and renovations

This fertiliser is ideal for:

• Seeding new lawns for strong establishment and healthy roots
• Overseeding or repairing bare patches
• Renovation projects where soil needs a nutrient boost to recover and regrow
• Homeowners who want the best start for their lawn, not a short-term fix

Expert tip for best results

Apply NZLA Starter at the time of seeding or renovation. Spread evenly, then water in well to activate nutrients. Avoid mowing until seedlings are well established to allow roots to strengthen.

Imported directly from the USA

Like all NZLA fertilisers, Starter is imported directly from the United States, where professional turf technology is developed and manufactured. Every prill is engineered for performance, giving your lawn the very best start.
