Easy application, and now we wait...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott's is a brand I know and trust, so I feel good about using this product even though I know that it may take some time to see results. Turf Builder Triple Action is meant to control weeds and to feed and fertilize grass. I am impressed by the packaging, The bag is made from a sturdy plastic and features a zip closure. I can remember the days of paper packaging, so this is a significant improvement! Detailed application directions are available on the Scott's website. We aren't seeing any new growth in the thinner spots, but we will be patient and reapply in the spring as needed. We will also know in early spring how the weed control is working.

Good lawn fertlizer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the product I use in the back yard and sides of my property. It goes down easy with the Scotts rotary spreader and the results have been good. I need to reapply as i have streaks, but that is on my mistake, not the product.

No yard should be without

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've used this product for the last 2 years or so and couldn't be happier. We apply it with our Scott's push spreader with ease. It truly does what the bag says- our lawn has been weed free and our grass looks beautiful. We often have people stop and ask what we use and always mention this product. This is a must for anyone who cares about having the nicest house on the block.

Effective on Weeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My yard has been overrun by what seems like every type of weed imaginable. Since applying this product, I can already see some of the weeds dying although, worth noting, not every weed seems to be affected by the product. The application was simple and the large bag was plenty for my relatively small yard, with some left over. I look forward to seeing continued results in the spring.

Decent product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a week or two ago and proceeded to use it on my lawn the very same day. So far I'd say it seems to be doing a pretty decent job with the fertilizing end of things. As far as all the weeds I have in my yard, I don't see much happening with them yet. I'm hoping as time goes by it will continue to work & kill weeks for a beautiful lawn next summer!

Thank you for your feedback on Scotts Turf Builder Northern Triple Action. The 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.

A waste of money and time

I've used Scott's turf builder for years and have had good luck with it. This year I decided to buy the "triple action" for the crab grass control feature. Well, it's been a few months since I spread it and the clover is about to take over my lawn, both front and back. I used a spreader for even spreading and even hand spread the clover after that. I'm extremely disappointed with this product. Not only did it cost me an extra $30-$40 to buy, it was a waste of time to use. When I buy something, I expest it to do what it advertises to do!

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This turf builder was effective on my lawn. It was easy to distribute, and did what was expected. It killed the weeds in my lawn, and my grass is growing thicker because of this product. I would recommend to others.

Triple action

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fact that I can apply three steps in one application. This cuts down time and money. I noticed some dandelions were still alive after application but that might have been my fault as the lawn was wet before the 24 hour waiting period.

Bad bad bad

I bought this stuff and was quite disappointed. Let me remind you I never get dandelions or crabgrass, but wanted to use this anyways to prevent weeds. I used this and a week later my lawn was filled with crabgrass and dandelions. Very disappointed. I will not buy again and go with something else that just concentrates on things individually and not a 3 in 1

We are sorry to hear of the issues you encountered with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will prevent most grassy weeds, but very few broadleaf weeds. Weeds such as dandelions and clover will not be prevented by this product. Any action that breaks the preventive barrier in the soil will diminish the effectiveness of the grassy weed preventer. You can contact us if you would like to continue discussing this or if you want to know about our product guarantee. You can reach us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] thought I would try this and so far so good. My yard is extremely green, the few weeds that I did have are dead but only time will tell if it prevents weeds from coming back, that is the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. Although I'm yet to find a product from Scotts that wasn't a good quality.
