Very Easy to Apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts continues to show why they are the leader is residential lawncare products. This easy to use fertilizer comes with easy to follow instructions depending on your method of application. Obviously the results aren't instantaneous but I have full confidence my weeds will be gone once the product is absorbed by my lawn and has a chance to start working in full.

Very disappointed

I have used Scotts products for years with great success. However this year, my results were terrible. It doesn'ty appear that any of the clover in my yard has died. I'm not sure what I can do at this point, since it's only been around 4 weeks since Triple Action was applied.

Not Impress with it

Based on the cost versus the results I was not impress with it, in fact I'm disappointed with the results considering the cost of the product. I have patches of clover that I was hoping it would clear it. It is now going on 3 weeks since I applied it to my lawn and the clover is still green as before.

Works great! Just takes time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just moved into a new house with a yard that hasn't been kept up that much so it's covered in clover and weeds. I used this a lot for the previous house's yard and it takes a bit of time to see the benefit but definitely once winter ends and spring begins this will prevent the weeds from sprouting and green up earlier than it would without. I'll add a photo I took before I put down any fertilizer and update once spring comes with the improvements.

We apologize for your dissatisfaction regarding Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will kill actively growing broadleaf weeds and prevent grassy weeds that are listed on the label. It will not prevent broadleaf weeds and it will not kill existing crabgrass or other grassy type weeds. The broadleaf weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after application, as the active ingredient will cause the weeds to grow themselves to death. They should die within 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. We would be interested in speaking with you further about this so that we can learn why the product may not have worked. If you would be willing, we ask that you contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and refer to your review so that we can make a more complete report to our Quality Assurance Department.

Great fertilizer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this fertilizer the day before a good rain. With in a week I could already see weeds dyeing and my grass getting fuller. I have a lot of dandelions so it did not kill them all but I will definitely be buying this again till they are all gone. This is a really good fertilizer.

Fast Greening and early spring weeds wilted

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this two days before rain on a damp morning. It is a bit early for some weeds, but I do have some already growing. I notices a wilting in the larger weeds in two days. After the rain the grass greened up as much as I see when using the Scotts Greens Max. I will write another review later this year to say how it handles the crab grass germination.

Have to wait ti try this out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunafely, we live in the Northeast in NY and based on the instructions from the bag, we are unable to apply the product during this time of the year, so will have to wait until next Spring to apply.

Could be the worst I have ever used.

Bought this in early Spring and applied, then applied a second time late spring. I have more crabgrass and clover than I have ever had. What a waste of money. I now have to spend more money to get a landscape company to come in and somehow get my lawn looking the way it used to prior to using this horrible product.

We apologize for your disappointing encounter with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product prevents crabgrass from emerging for up to 4 months when the soil is not disturbed; however, it does not control clover from growing in the area. Please contact us for assistance with this. We are available here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Did not do it's job.

I read all the instructions and put down 5 bags of triple action. This product did nothing for my yard. I have more weeds now than I did when I put it down in April. It is now July 24th and I had to buy a different brands product to hopefully rid my yard of weeds. I attempted to add before and after photos but the files are too large.
