Turf Builder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've using this product for more than 15 years since I became a home owner in the Chicago area where weeds can become King. If one doesn't get on top of this problem every spring you're in for a long summer with very bad looking lawn!

Scotts Turf Builder NOT RECOMMENDED

'Purchased above item, 14.29 pounds (5k sq ft), at Midland MI Walmart on May 8th. Application was done according to recommendations under ideal temperature ec conditions. After waiting one month there is no effect on spring weeds. This 100% failure suggests a serious lot-quality problem with Scotts. I have bar code and upc data for the bag. On May 30 I sent a letter to the CEO of Scott's and to date have not received any reply. This product is NOT RECOMMENDED. L.C. WAlker, Midland, MI

We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced when using Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed. This particular product usually has a lot of success stories from users, but it is helpful when we get reviews like yours to help us produce quality seed. Here are a few tips to consider when growing in the future. For Cool Season grasses like Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and different types of Fescues soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate and can take between 4 -21 days to see germination. Warm season grasses like Bermudagrass, Centipede and Zoysia, which germinates in early summer, requires soil temperatures between 75 - 90 degrees (24 - 32 Celsius) and can take between 5-28 days to see visible germination. Watering also plays a defining factor in germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day until germination is visible and then watering 1- 1 ½” per week as needed. Both excessive watering and not enough watering can slow down or even stop germination of the product. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this issue has not caused you to lose faith in Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Excellent if all you want is a green lawn, not an efficient weed treatment

For some reason Scotts Weed and Feed products have been very disappointing as a weed control and treatment option. It seems like the only thing Scotts “Weed and Feed” does is the feed part, but as far as weed control, it only takes care of dandelions. Anything else you may need to address, the best product I have found is Trimmec. I really hope Scott’s figure this out, otherwise they need to advertise their products properly.

We are sorry to hear that your Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed did not perform as expected. Temperatures play a key roll in weed control. When temperatures are above 90° weeds slow their growth down and can not absorb the product. 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.

The jury is out...

I only applied this product a few days ago, but since I was asked for a review, here it is- The Marketing/Advertising team for Scotts has me believing that their product is the best on the market but, for the Love of God, WHY is the Scotts app named "My Lawn"??? Where do you think I look for the "Scotts" app in my phone? Let me help- it's NOT between L and N! Please, Marketing team, read 'Guerilla Marketing', then change the name. smh Will update my review in a few weeks.

I'm an all phase landscape contractor - works fine

I don't understand the negative reviews. I believe they've applied it wrong. I've used this product on both commercial and residential accounts for Clover and Dandelions specifically. This product worked on both counts. Frankly, I normally use a standalone product for each, fertilizing and broadleaf weed control (Speedzone for Clover/ Fertilizer to feed) but decided to use this due to time restraints. In less than 2 weeks Dandelions and Clover are gone. I'm dubious as to the negative reviews due to my real world experience in the greens industry. If it did not work I'd say so. I'm not likely to be a regular customer as I fertilize and treat weed problems seperately, but for an all-in-one product, it works fine. If I ever get in a pinch I'll use it again.

Zoysia lawn in Alabama, March 30 application

I purchased scotts after trying the 'bargain' brand at home depot last year with dissapointing results. this year I thought I'd pay more since the reviews were consistently favorable. followed the directions to the letter, waited till the temps were consistently higher with active weeds popping up, and the grass was just starting to green up. watered the lawn in segments so the W+F wood stick to the broad leaf weeds. and waited. true to the directions, the stuff sticks to the larger leafed weeds and after 48 hrs, 99% of them are shrivelling up. at this rate they should all be dead in the next 48 hrs. I'm glad i had good weather. you may want to wait till the forecast is clear for ~4 days to ensure the weeds have full exposure to the W+F without being washed off. the grass is greening up even more over the last 3 days. I'll update this if the web page lets me. but I've always had good results with the fertilizer performance of scotts. their weed formula works much better than the other brands I try, the stuff is very fine and powdery which seems to stick better to the broadleafs.

I would never use anything else!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Scotts Turf Builder Weed and Feed for some years now, and would not consider using anything else at this point. It is very effective at eliminating all of the weeds that love to populate on both the front and back lawns, and it does a great job of feeding it at the same time to make sure the grass looks lush and green. I find that dandelions and clover are the most prevalent weeds that I have an ongoing battle with and, after using this product, I find that problem virtually goes away. I am also impressed with the WeedGrip technology which the manufacturer states actually grips on to the weeds and kills them. I apply the product using a spreader and it goes on evenly ensuring proper distribution. I continue to be happy with it.

9 out of 10 Clovers recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried this on my front and back yard which are on a 1/4 acre lot. The backyard has 3/4 of the lawn covered in thick short weeds and the front had clovers everywhere. I applied this product per the directions using a Scotts brand broadcast spreader. After a month, not a single weed in the front or back has shown any signs of deteriorated health, let alone death and the clovers only seemed to get stronger spreading further. Only changing temperatures finally made them go away for the time being.

We're troubled to hear of your results after using our Turf Builder Weed and Feed. This is certainly not the result we want you to have with our product, and have alerted our Quality Assurance Team of your review. What were the temperatures outside when you applied the product. This product will only be effective if applied to the weeds when they are actively growing, which usually means when temperatures are between 65-85 degrees. We want you to be confident in our products, which is why we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Do not listen to the negatives, they work for Vigoro! LOL : )

I have used this product since 1978, when it was known as Scott's Turf +2-I think. In my neighborhoods, over time, those that use Scotts have superior lawns. Now Scott's is not the only factor, but in terms of feeding the lawn and killing most weeds you'll see in my part of the country, Scott's is granular gold and well worth the few dollars more Scott's users pay. The payback is quickly visible in a greener, healthier lawn.
