I bought the turf builder with halts product and was disappointed with the product quality. There were semi-moist clump that kept jamming up my scotts rotary spreader. I tried my best to crush up the clumps top no avail. It was a brand new intact bag of fertilizer that I just purchased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a home owner I have tried to cut corners when it comes to fertilizer. I always come back to scotts to get my grass thick and healthy. None can beat it, none can compare and no other will go on my yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had had crabgrass problems for years before using Scott's crabgrass preventer.I was always reluctant to use products on my lawn but after years of hard work My lawn was being taken over by crabgrass.after using Scott's crabgrass preventer I now have no crabgrass truly an amazing product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trust me you will not see summer crabgrass if you use this product in the spring. You can apply it in the early spring and you will be good to go. Crab grass is very hard to remove once it has germinated. This product is proactive. An added plus is that the crabgrass preventer is in with a very effective fertilizer.

This Turf Builder has what your lawn needs. My lawn got a green like no other and I am proud of it. The crabgrass was also taken care of. There was still a little work to do after the application but that is my own fault and not due to this wonderful product. Scotts does not fail when it comes to quality. Follow the directions, take care of your lawn and it all works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In all honesty, I have to tell you that this product did not kill any crabgrass in my lawn. I applied it according to the directions on the bag, and the results were poor. I won't purchase it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I asked my neighbor with the best lawn what company he used and his answer was Scotts and a spreader. So I was surprised. I bought the 4 bag combination and my lawn was better the first year. So I talked to my neighbor again who told me to crisscross my spreading and not only was there hardly any crabgrass the creeping Charlie was almost gone as well. I am looking forward to this year as it will be the 3rd repair year and I expect green thick lawn again!

This was my first time using Scotts, I have had lawn services come out for years and was never happy and had the worst yard in the subdivision. Let me say "Thank you scotts".....my neighbors are wondering what i am doing. This product is amazing, cant wait to apply the next product. Keep up the good work and the price of the product was nothing compared to what I have spent on lawn service companies......and my yard as never looked like this. My yard is beautiful!!! Will show pictures after next product use, I believe its dandelion time! Quick green up and thicker grass already...wow!!!

Like I've said in my other reviews I do my homework before I buy. Here was the one place that I didn't and I screwed up. The fertilizer is this bag is very good. I love Scotts fertilizers. Never burned a lawn yet. [knocks on wood] That said, the fertilizer could be better. I'm sad to say that this version of the fertilizer lacks some of the micronutrients the Super Turf Builder lines have and if I could steer a future purchaser in that direction, the Super Turf Builder lines are definitely the way to go. Secondly as a result of this purchase, I'm not a fan of the combination products. The crabgrass preventer, Halts, that is in the product must be applied early before germination of the crabgrass seeds begins (a pre-emergent preventer). In some cases this may be late winter to very early spring. In fact it can be so early that you might be needing to wait to apply your fertilizer for another month or so. Having the two products combined then can create a little issue as you can see. Then there is the issue of the Halts crabgrass preventer. It prevents germination of crabgrass seeds (which require 3 consecutive days of 56 degree weather to germinate), but it will also prevent the germination of any new grass seed you may want to put down. So if you are the type to over-seed in the spring or fall, then you can't over-seed for 3 - 4 months after application! This is a fact that some people fail to realize and then wonder why their newly laid grass seed isn't germinating. Then if you read the label, it says once laid down to not aerate, rake or disturb the lawn as you will break the protective barrier of the Halts. Hmmm...guess you better start raking and de-thatching REAL early if you plan to use this product correctly. I didn't quite know all of this at the time of application. I was too busy raking, de-thatching, and aerating since it had warmed up. I then applied this product. Oops. So I got the affect of a beautiful green spring lawn, but some green crabgrass and weeds coming up too as I missed the pre-emergent window, albeit not by much. So in short, the fertilizer is very good, but not great. The Halts is a great crabgrass preventer, BUT only if timed correctly (as it is not possible to act as a post-emergent treatment), and you don't plan to over-seed, rake or disturb the lawn. As such, due to the issues of correctly timing crabgrass preventers, combined with the needs of over-seeding and fertilizing at the right time, I just cannot recommend this product. To correct for the over-seeding concerns, one would want to go with Scotts Starter Fertilizer with Crabgrass Preventer instead. That contains Tupersan, a chemical that selectively inhibits crabgrass germination (and other weeds!) while allowing grass seed to germinate. Nice, stuff, but as you will see, it costs much more $$. If you do go the separate and not combination product route, and you are looking for a product that prevents crabgrass in a pre-emergent AND early post-emergent manner (just in case you are just a little late with your application), while still catching and preventing more of the common weeds too, well, you will have to look outside of Scotts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I try to keep my lawn as nice as can be but have neighbors who don't. Their weeds and crabgrass have a way of working into my yard each year. I use Scotts Crabgrass preventer/weed killer each year in early March and again around early June. Seems it take two applications to control my lawn's problem but it does work. Would recommend to anyone with the same problem that I have. Product is a little more expensive then private label products but for the most part is worth it. Thanks!
