Your lawn's drought recovery plan, in a pouch
Drought Defense is a liquid lawn treatment with wetting agents that help water soak into dry, compacted soil instead of running off the top. It gets moisture down to the roots where it counts, and can reduce water usage by up to 20%. Pair it with Lawn Aid Heat Stress Prevention Treatment for full summer coverage, or start a custom lawn plan.
What makes Drought Defense Lawn Treatment different
- Helps water penetrate soil to reach roots
- Surfactant, seaweed, and potassium in one step
- Hooks right up to your hose for easy coverage
- Works on all common grass types, zero burn risk
- Pesticide-free, made without harsh detergents
- Built for drought resilience, not to push new growth
Ingredients
Wetting agent: Helps water soak into soil instead of sitting on top, so your lawn actually absorbs what you give it.
Seaweed extract and potassium: Supports heat tolerance and helps your lawn hold up during hot, dry stretches.
Humic acid: Helps roots absorb nutrients more efficiently so your lawn gets more out of every watering.
How to use
For best results, apply before drought conditions set in, preferably during the early morning or late evening.
- Connect the included hose-end sprayer to your garden hose and attach the pouch
- Turn on the water and distribute evenly across your lawn until the pouch is empty (about 10 to 15 minutes)
- Water your lawn after application, and get back on the grass once it's dry
- Reapply every 4 weeks from spring through fall, up to 8 times per year

Questions & answers
5 questions
Question: Will drought defense help green my lawn or do I need another fertilizer?
Sunday
Drought Defense is a preventative product designed to help grass survive drought stress through better water distribution in soil. It's not meant to green up your lawn since it has no nitrogen (it's 0-0-1). For actually greening your lawn, you'd want something with more nitrogen like Grass Powerhouse, Green Machine, or Super S, which have higher nitrogen content for that vibrant green color. You could use Drought Defense alongside a greening fertilizer in late spring/early summer to prepare your grass for summer stress while building that color at the same time
Question: On my plan I have the lawn aid heat stress prevention treatment to be applied in the first couple of weeks of June. Can I add the Drought Defense product to use in August when we have almost zero rainfall and waves of heat up to 90/100? Or will it be too much?
Jeff McConathy
That won't be too much! These pouches don't include any nitrogen, so we have a bit more flexibility with incorporating them relative to some of our other pouches. Lawn Aid from is best used to help encourage deep root growth/better heat resilience, and Drought Defense will help to improve water retention and Drought Defense will help with water retention and reduce water use. We generally recommend using these pouches every 4-6 weeks (if needed) during the summer months, so aiming for Lawn Aid in early June and then Drought Defense in early/mid July would be perfect.
Question: Is the new Drought Defense a replacement for the Water Focus product which I no longer see on your
Louisa D.
Water Focus is no longer available for individual purchase. Drought Defense is an innovative surfactant formula to minimize drought stress and reduce water use in lawns.
Question: Your add says this product is 30% off, no code needed but that is not reflected at check out.
Louisa D.
We are currently running a 30% off promotion for 4th of July. This offer is valid until July 7, 2024.
Question: What is the difference between the drought defense lawn treatment and the lawn aid heat stress prevention treatment. They seem to be almost the same.
Louisa D.
Great question! Drought Defense is designed to be used in arid climates or regions currently experiencing periods of low rainfall, helping maintain a healthy, green lawn. Lawn Aid, on the other hand, is designed as a preventative before arid or low rainfall conditions exist.
