Fail

I've used other products but I decided to try the triple action. I cut my yard and applied with a spreader a month ago before all those pesky weeds come up, well needless to say it hasn't killed one dandelion. Bad purchase, never again!

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will only kill existing broadleaf weeds, it is not designed to prevent the growth of new broadleaf weeds. Also, this product will not kill grassy weeds but is only designed to prevent grassy weeds, such as crabgrass. Lastly, weeds may appear healthier for a few days after application but you should see weed death between 2-4 weeks. Despite this fact, we want you to be confident in our products and we stand by the promises made in our advertisements. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 888-270-3714, and reference this product review for assistance.

packaging

The way the wording is set up on the package I thought the left side was English and the right side was Spanish. I have since gone on the internet and found other instructions. I think I have wasted a bag.

Have never had so many weeds

Saw this stuff on the shelf this Spring so I decided to give it a try. Have always had the best grass in the neighborhood and this year it was filled with dandilions and weeds after application.

We are troubled to hear of your difficulties with Turf Builder Triple Action Fertilizer. This product will prevent crabgrass from germinating when applied before temperatures hit the 80's, but it will not kill existing crabgrass. Damage can occur if this product is applied to the wrong type of grass, or if the grass is stressed by environmental conditions, such as high temperatures, insect damage, lawn disease, and drought. 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.

Poor product

Spread over two weeks ago and see no results. It has rained a few times but looks as if we didn't do anything to our yard. Neighbor has beautiful green yard. We'll ask them what they used!

If I could give it a No Star I would. This is worthless. Have over a $180.00 and lots of leg miles. Don't waste your money. Does not kill or prevent weeds. I want my money back. Should get labor too.

Overpriced not effective

Really didnt do much for my yard. Nitrogen part works. Weedkiller didnt. Regular weed n feed worked better. Will see if it has any effect on crabgrass this year

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. We recommend applying to a damp lawn. Product must stick to weed leaves to be effective, and left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after application. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 90 degrees. You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after the application due to this excessive growth, with a complete kill within 2 to 4 weeks. 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.

Doesn't kill or prevent Poa Annua

Used in fall, has controlled broadleaf weeds and clover. Hasn't done anything to kill or prevent annual bluegrass which is my biggest issue in Bermuda during winter.

We are sorry to hear that the Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action did not prevent poa annua as expected. Please note, this only prevents crabgrass and select other weeds as listed on our website (label has a shortened weed list). Turf Builder Triple Action will prevent these weeds for no more than four months. To get the best results from the prevention portion of Turf Builder Triple Action, it should be applied before weed seeds germinate. 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.

This Product did not work

After a week the dandelions and other weeds are flourishing. Very disappointed in this Scott's product. Any suggestions on a better solution other than paying the ridiculous prices to keep my lawn looking good?

Great Turf Builder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With my Scotts spreader it was easy to apply and got great coverage. Being early Spring in NE Georgia, I am looking forward to my weedless Fescue lawn all summer !!!
