impossible to figure out how much to apply

I don't have a Scotts spreader and the bag does not show how many lbs per square foot to apply, so I will guess how much to apply. Hopefully it will work better than the last Scotts product I used which did not work.

Lawn is worse than ever

I bought this product and tried to put it down but it was all lumpy and did not drop uniformly. I have never had a worse looking lawn. Dandelions and crab grass are thriving. Very disappointed.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) and appreciate your feedback. Any moisture that gets in the product will make the granules clump together. If the granules can not be easily broken apart by dropping the bag, the product should not be used because it can not be properly applied. 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.

Didn't work at all

Some of the weeds changed to a different color lime green. I didn't have any dandelions before I put this on my grass. After I put this down, my lawn has dandelions everywhere. I was trying to prevent them from growing, not growing them on purpose.

Don't Buy -- lawn is infested with dandelions

I purchased and applied per bag instructions 3 bag of Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action on my lawn on April 1, 2020. Now my lawn is infested with dandelions.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied Scotts Turf Builder about three weeks ago.. The Dandelions are gone. The grass looks great. I highly recommend this product.

We're still waiting for this product to be effecti

I feel as if we wasted our money by buying more than one bag. I don't know what happened. We followed instructions and the weeds seemed to multiply and get much bigger. It's only been one week, so hopefully this product might take a bit longer.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. For best results, this product should be applied when weeds are actively growing and when daytime temperatures are consistently between 60℉ and 90℉. Low or high temperatures will delay weed control. Although visible results may be seen within 24 hours, this product can take up to 3 weeks to completely kill weeds. 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.

Did nothing

I applied two bags 50lb bags to my lawn last week when the grass was wet, after the third mow, when it's been 60-70 degrees, and 30 hours before rain and it's done absolutely nothing...

Megan, 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.

Helped Out Tremendously!

Applied it last year per the instructions and it definitely improved the front lawn, which was patchy in places and in danger of being overrun by broadleaf. I am curious as to how close I can apply this product to a vegetable garden.

Goodbye lawn

I'm glad I only used it on the side lawn and some of the back to try it. Killed it all. At least I still have the front and most of the back. Maybe the aim was for me to buy plenty of seed. I followed the directions on the bag. Oh well.

We are sorry to hear of your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. While there is a safety factor built into the product, too much product can cause damage. If applications are made when temperatures are above 80 degrees, especially if temperatures are on the 90's damage can occur. We recommend a watering program of 1/2 inch of water every 2 to 3 days. Follow the watering program for at least 3 weeks. Most lawns will recover given time. We offer a guarantee that extends to all of our products. If this interests you, we ask that you contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca.

Terrible results

I put down four 50 pound bags and it is the worst lawn I have ever had. It is like the bag was filled with clover seeds. I have never had this issue and the broad leak weeds didn't get touched
