Burned lawn.

Three days ago I had a beautiful green and lush lawn that I work on very hard to keep looking that way. On Wednesday, I put Scotts Turf Builder weed and feed. I followed the directions perfectly. I actually read them twice to be sure I was following directions. Today, Friday April 19, 2019, I have a lawn that is turning brown and dying. I am beyond upset and frustrated!!! Never again will I use Scotts products. Can someone please give advice to rectify the situation?

We are truly very sorry for the issues you encountered with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed. This product is only meant to be used on certain lawn types. We recommend a watering program of 1/2 an inch of water every 3 days for 3 weeks. Your lawn should recover over time. This is not what we expect from this product, and we would be interested in discussing this further so that we can learn more about this issue and extend our product guarantee.

Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent, dependable, consistent product. I have used Scotts Turf Builder for several years and never been disappointed with the results. I used this particular fertilizer in the late Spring or early summer to give the turf an added boost and to control weeds through the upcoming summer months.

Poor at best

Decided to try Scott's weed and feed this year, and must state I'm very disappointed. I struggle to control clover and violets in my yard every year, so I tried Scott's for the first time. This product has had no effect on the the clover or violets, in fact they are worse this year than they ever have been. It's almost like it fed them. I will not buy this product again.

We're sorry to hear the Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed did not kill the wild violets and clover as expected. Clover is a common perennial weed found in lawns throughout the United States. The most common type of clover established in lawns is white clover. It is very tolerant of a wide range of soil types. White clover spreads by creeping with above ground stems or stolons. White Clover reproduces by seeds or stolons. The seeds of white clover are kidney shaped and very hard, which allow for extended dormancy. The seeds can survive for 20 years or more in the soil. The seed of the white clover can germinate at different times throughout the summer whenever cool, moist conditions exist. The other way this weed can spread is through stolons, which grow at a rate of 18 cm. per year. The flowers of white clover will die off and the foliage will decompose. The stolons will remain until the following spring when they produce new shoots. The best way to manage clover is with regular feeding and proper mowing http://tinyurl.com/zmx8993. This will encourage a dense turf and make it difficult for clover and wild violets to become established. 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.

My Professional Looking Lawn

I used the Scotts program for many years, and it produced a very professional and well manicured looking yard. They have a Turf Builder Weed & Feed for the weeds and other yards problems during Spring and Summer. And other products to help your lawn stop growing, yet the lawn does receives the nutrients that it needs during the Winter months and go to sleep during the Winter months. I absolutely love and I am forever sold on their lawn products

No doubt about it, this product is no. 1.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for 20 years and using a drop spreader behind my lawn tractor, year end and year out I allways have a lush green yard and with no weeds and no yellow flowers! My fathers yard has a lot more clay content with quite a few poor grass areas that seemed were allways bare. He tried many liquid grass/soil treatments but these all falied. I brought up my spreader and a few large bags of Scotts' Turf Builder with "halts" and a few weeks later his lawn was healthy and lush and it was never that dark green and his lawn became the envy of that neighborhood just the same as mine every year!

>5 years of Creeping Charlie and Clover now gone

Used the product in October and April. Outcome is just shy of miraculous. We had had large patches on the two sides and front yard that were covered with Clover and Creeping Charlie. Mowing was embarrassing because we worried about infecting the neighbors' yards. After two applications of Scott's (Oct and April) following the instructions (w/ a mower coupled broadcaster) our yard is golf course quality. It's stunning! Great decision!

Worked great

So I didn’t read the instructions and put down twice as much as recommended. It definitely caused some browning in my yard, but some of the sections of the yard on the house I just moved into were nothing but weeds. I was a little discouraged but didn’t reflect it upon Scott’s because I knew I’d put down 2-3 times too much without fully reading instructions and we didn’t get a ton of water. However, it’s been a month, and over the last 10 days we got a good bit of rain. I would say 85-90% of the weeds are gone, almost all of the browned spots are filled in, and my grass looks much, much thicker and greener than when I applied it. I was just talking to my wife about how I thought I screwed up our lawn and today it looks so good it doesn’t look like it could possible be the same lawn we moved into. I wouldn’t use much more it recommends. I’m likely very lucky but I wish I’d taken before and after photos for people considering this product in the future. I’ve talked to a lot of my neighbors whose lawns actually look good and all three recommended this product before I purchased.

Drop Spreader Issue

I used this with my drop spreader. The granules are so fine that my drop spreader couldn’t get them to come out of the holes and I could not see them on the ground to insure they were spreading. The setting on the bag was 5. I had to set it to 14 just to get them out. They kept clogging up the holes and I had to continually wipe the holes to keep them clear. I have never had this problem before and I use nothing but Scotts products. Don’t buy this if you have a drop spreader. Quite a nightmare.
