Came out of bag in big clumps

Recently bought this a week ago. Went to put it down with a Scotts Turf Builder spreader and started to pour it from the bag it started coming out in big clumps. Tried to break them up. Then started to put onto the lawn I could tell it was clogging up because less was coming out. The whole process took more then twice as long because of how the product clumped up. Very disappointed. Now I can only hope the product works since I have no way of knowing how much was put down.

"Waste of money"

I have used this product for the last 3 years and have decided to not use it again. It is a waste of money because it does not work on the weeds. I have followed the directions and it does not work on the weeds. It does average for the grass but not the weeds.

We are sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer did not prevent weeds as expected. Please note, this only prevents those weeds listed on the label. Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer will last for no more than four months. To get the best results from Turf Builder with Halts Crabgrass Preventer, it should be applied before weed seeds germinate. It will not kill existing weeds. Do not aerate or dethatch the lawn after using crabgrass preventers as this will break the product barrier in the soil, and the product will fail. Also, some weeds have look-alikes that are not controlled by the product. Be sure to have any stubborn weeds identified by a reputable nursery in your area to verify the target weed. If they are not on the label, we may have alternative products we can recommend. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

The one and only!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have taken care of lawns for over 40 years and Scotts is by far the best product out there! You may be tempted to go with another brand but you won't get the performance that Scotts will give you. A beautiful lawn every year is what you can expect!

This product keeps crabgrass from emerging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are surrounded by neighbors who have crabgrass in their lawns in the summer and a cornfield in the back of our house. We grew up on the east coast (now live in the mid west) and know how hard it is to get rid of crabgrass once it takes hold. So, we are faithful in putting down this product every year in the early spring. It does the job! We very seldom see crabgrass in our yard. We always use Scott products on our grass.

This product works!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have lived in 7 states and the St. Louis area offers the most challenges for lawns that I have seen ... It is in a transition zone and it takes considerable time to have a good lawn. I have found that Scotts products are the best - by far. Crabgrass appears to germinate in this area through July and the crabgrass preventer does an excellent job of holding this pesky weed in check. I have tried other products, but alway come back to Scotts.

Terrific!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using Scotts products since 1969. At times we have strayed to a "competitor", but ALWAYS return to Scoots! We found Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food to perform as advertised, not a surprise to us!! Purchase with confidence!!

This product stopped my crabgrass from taking over my yard.

The product was easy to use. For the first time my grabgrass has not taken over my yard this year. The product had easy directions and only burned a 5 inch section of my yard because I cleaned the spreader on the grass when I was finished and too much landed in that spot. Other than that, there were not burn marks and my lawn looks great.

HATE Crabgrass? This stuff works!

[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!

Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass with Lawn Food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first started using Turf Builder and following their instructions, I noticed a healthier lawn. When I make my last application in the fall I see the results after the long winter with an improved lawn to begin a new season.

Great value for the money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used other brands of weed & feed and I had limited results. Using the Scotts brand over the last year has vastly improved the quality of my lawn. The lawn is thicker and there are fewer weeds after using for just 1 season. I will definitely use the Scotts brand turf builder with Halts moving forward!
