5 out of 5 stars review

Worked well.

We live in South Carolina, just across the border from Charlotte, NC. We applied Scott's Triple Action in mid February. Four weeks later, the lawn is a deep lush green and the weeds are in check. Normally we would have used Scott's fertilizer plus Haltz and followed up with another round 6-8 weeks later. This what is routinely done in this area to control crabgrass in this area. My question to Scott's is: Should we use Triple Action in the same manner? What would the interval be? Four months would put us into June, which is too late into the Southern summer to be putting down another application of fertilizer. According to The agricultural extension service at Clemson putting down a nitrogen fertilizer at that point in the summer would promote issues with funguses in the lawn, which with the high humidity here, is a common problem.

Destroyed my nice lawn.

I put this down in February, used a hand broadcast spreader. Bottom line I was reading and trusting the Scotts brand. I called customer service a couple times due to the newness of this product on the Market. The web site did not even have the specs listed back then. Now I have 40% dead grass, Herbicide Burn next to fresh weeks growing 3 feet away. My lawn is a joke and the HOA is not laughing. Lessons learned, don't use anything that is new to the Market until proven.

Everything needed in one bag!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action is my go to fertilizer for my front lawn; my pride and joy. I applied it to my lawn 3 days ago to prevent crabgrass, to kill a wide variety of weeds and to feed my lawn all in one application. Furthermore, it is a season long fertilizer that enables me to treat my lawn with "1 bag" as opposed to having to buy "3 different bags" of fertilizer. This product saves me time and money!

Never again

Extremely disappointed. I did a lot a research before deciding on this product and I have been never more disappointed. I applied this according to the product specifications. My lawn has been. Now bare in many spots and orange an yellow in others. The grass has been cut and water and still hasn't recovered. I haven't begun to talk talked insane amount of weeds I have .... significantly more than before I used the product.

Turf Builder/ Weed Buster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer this Turf Builder product best. I have beautiful , thick green centipede grass. No detectable ground critters and a sporadic weed or two. Which is great considering my neighbors yard is mostly weeds and clover.

Don't waste your money

Followed directions exactly. Put it down a month ago and I do not notice any difference with the grass and the clover is back growing like crazy! Will not spend this kind of money again with Scott's. The white you see in the pics is the clover flowering! Very disappointing.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. For best results with controlling existing listed broadleaf weeds, be sure to apply the product when your daytime high temperatures are consistently between 60 to 90°F. For best results, the temperatures should be between 65 and 85°F. Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action should be applied to a wet lawn and allowed to stay on the foliage undisturbed for at least 24 hours without rain or water. Since this post-emergent weed control is initially absorbed through the weed's foliage, we recommend that the weeds not be mowed for two days both before and after the product application. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Powerful Lawn Treatment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spread this a week ago. The granules are easy to spread from any spreader. (I don't have a scott's) As you can see, the lawn has really greened up. I'm in the process of perfecting the lawn, and this has helped quite a bit.

Grass is green(ish) but infested with dandellions

Never in the last four years IHOP ever seen so much dandellions and clover in our lawn. They have been blooming since applying the product. Followed the instructions with surgical precisiom, and even the lawn is greener, now I'll have to spend more in killing all the weeds. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

We are sorry to hear that you have not gotten the weed control that you expected from Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. For the best results, we recommend applying the product when temperatures are consistently above 60 degrees. Fluctuating temperatures can delay results. We want to help with this.

Worked pretty well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this earlier this year to fertilize and control weeds (including crabgrass) in an area of my 3 acres that was by far the most difficult area I have. I had clover, dandelions, wild violets, and creeping Charlie...….not a good area of my yard. I have been quite surprised and happy with the results I have seen, now about a month after application. Most of the weeds are gone, although I have had to spot spray some clover. And I have not seen any crabgrass to date, so it appears the pre-emergent works pretty well too.

Looking for help

Bought Scott's triple action and put it down this past weekend. But before I did I took car of some cleaning up and found a few small patches of this stuff. Can someone tell me what type of grass it is because it looks and feels great. I'd love to try and get some more of this going. I'm located in Westchester NY.
