Powered and walk-behind spreaders distribute fertilizer, grass seed, lime, and ice melt quickly and evenly across lawns, fields, and driveways. A calibrated spreader prevents the uneven application that leads to streaking or burned turf.
My top picks cover broadcast and drop spreaders alongside tow-behind options for riding mowers. I compare hopper capacity, spread width, shut-off control precision, and rust resistance for models built to last through multiple seasons.
