Best in Show.

Best of the best. Does what it says it will do. I have been using Scott for years. EXCEPT one year and I regretted it. Yes Scott’s cost more but the value is in the results. (Buy a great spreader, Scott’s does not sell a great spreader. But a good hardware store will. Get REAL rubber tires too) But other than Scott’s poor spreaders their fertilizer is the best!!!

Not worth it.

Applied as the per the directions. Some of the dandelions are withering others are not. I have used this product for 10+ years. With great results. I purchased 12 of the 32 oz. liquid spray bottles I have an acre to spray. I don't know what Scott's did to their formula but it has changed and is less effective than previous if at all. I just wasted a ton of money.

Weed and Feed a must

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Waited till the lawn was mowed a time or two prior to applying, and to allow the temperature to come up a bit. A recent rain gave me the opportunity I was looking for to have a damp yard to lay down the turf builder weed and feed. Good coverage and after only a few days the weeds are starting to wilt.

Green and Growing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used many products over the years. As a retired Agriculture professional I won't use anything else. Scotts has the research team to take the guesswork out of plant food recommendations. The labeled use instructions provide ample product to yield a healthy green lawn, free of obnoxious weeds.

Nice results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Scott's Turf Builder Weed and Feed is exactly what my lawn needed. It got rid of the weeds and fed my lawn at the same time. My lawn has so many dandelions in it, that they were taking over my grass. I just put it in my spreader and it was so quick and easy. I am glad I tried this. I recommend this Scott's Turf Builder Weed and Feed.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy open bag with no large clumps. It was easy to apply to my front and backyard. My neighbors both have dandelions and so far we have none. The feed part seems to be working too! We will continue to use throughout the season.

settings different

I just bought the weed & feed, the package said to water after applying. I did. When I looked at the Scott's site for next product, I looked at directions for the weed & feed. It said, do not water after application. What is correct? the package or Scotts. Also, I applied with Scott's spreader at 3-1/2, barely anything coming out. Put setting on 6 and it seemed to spread better.

Best Lawn in the neighborhood! Weed free, thick and lush!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used Scott's products since we bought our first home in 1984, we have a lush, green and so thick lawn, completely weed free, friends and family who come to visit and walk in the yard can't believe how thick and gorgeous it is, we don't water as much as others with thinner lawns, we have even had people drive by and see us outside who will stop and ask how in the world do you get your lawn looking so nice....we always smile and have one word to say "Scott's" we have been loyal to Scott's for 32 years and will be for the remainder of our home owning years.

Killed my yard

I purchased green up and then weed and feed Scott's brand of course. I always use Scotts. My lawn was beautiful after using green up but there were a few weeds so I got some weed and feed. I read the package and it said okay to use on st. Augustine but if you want to see pictures I almost lost my lawn. Funny it didn't kill it all over but it's really bad. I rake it every day and have gotten so much dead grass. I am so disappointed.

We appreciate your interest in Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3. When applying fertilizer to your lawn, whether it is a straight fertilizer or one including a weed or other control product in it (such as Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3), applications must be separated by at least 6-8 weeks, as too much fertilizer too fast can damage the lawn. Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed 3, per its package label, is not intended for use on St. Augustinegrass. If used on a grass type it is not intended to be used on, it can cause damage to the lawn. Below are some instructions on how to minimize that possible damage: Initially, you need to water well to wash product off of grass blades as soon as possible. This will help minimize damage and speed any possible recovery. Then, apply a 1/2 inch of water every 2 to 3 days for at least 3 weeks. There is no way to completely neutralize the application. If we can further assist, at your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714.

Don’t Use: Burned My Lawn

I generally like Scott’s products, such as the grass seed and the WinterGuard Fall Lawn Food, but the Turf Builder Weed and Feed is terrible. I used it according to the directions, and, as shown in the photos, it completely burned my lawn. I will not use this product again. I would give it zero stars if I could.
