About Scotts
Scotts sells grass seed, lawn fertiliser and weed control, and it invented the mechanical spreader in 1928 that made even application possible for households. It effectively created the American lawn care category and remains the largest brand in it. Its four-step annual programme, sold as a schedule rather than as products, is the model competitors copy.
