I was waiting for someon to make this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well the grass is green and full, the weeds are dead and now I'm waiting to see how it does with the onslaught of crabgrass. I get inundated with crab grass from from the farm field on one side to a neighbor who cuts the lawn regularly and keeps it neat, but doesn't use anything for weed control. To another neighbor who cuts his lawn every two weeks whether it needs it or not...LOL Time will tell. I will review crabgrass control as the season progresses.

Triple Action...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually I would purchase Turfbuilder Halts Crabgrass Preventer and Lawn Food to use in the spring as my pre-emergent treatment but this year I used the new Turfbuilder Triple Action and it seems to be working just fine. No new weeds poking out since application.

Works every yeat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just put down seed this weekend I have to wait 2 weeks to use this product. But I have used it in the past and it works great. The reason I use Scott products is as s kid every spring my dad would buy all the Scott products...I still remember the picture on the bag with the 2 women sitting on the steps and the kids running on the lawn

2 stars -Wish it could be higher

Wishing i could give it a higher rating.... maybe it's user error? I applied using my scotts spreader set to 3 1/2 in the morning after a light rain overnight. 24 hours later i watered it in. There's no change to my yard. The weeds are taking over. Mostly clover and some dandelions with crabgrass also. Is it not supposed to work on clover? The grass is green but not any greener than my neighbors who haven't done anything at all to their grass. Maybe i applies it too early? Its been in the 60s during the day and 40s at night. It feels really but the grass is growing along with the weed obviously; i thought catching the weeds while they're growing fastest was best?

reply from Customer Care

We are sorry that the Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max did not control the Clovers as expected. I hope this hasn't caused you to lose complete faith in our products. Occasionally, even when products are used correctly, weeds fail to die and we simply can't identify why. I do hope you'll try using one of our weed controls again, and I would like to offer some tips that may help you in your future weed control efforts. 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. Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max 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. Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max Lawn only controls those broadleaf weeds listed on the back of the bag or on our website (label has a shortened list). While it will prevent select grassy weeds, such as crabgrass and foxtail, it does not kill any grassy weeds that are visible at the time of application. There are a few particularly troublesome common broadleaf weeds that Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max Lawn does not control as well. 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.

Greened up nicely

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used in the front yard and not in the back because of pets. Can definitely see the difference. Front yard is looking nice and thick and super green with a few weeds here and there but still a big difference from front and back!

applied and waiting for results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We applied this product and are waiting for the results to show. It does appear that the product works as the dandelions are slowly withering away. We were lucky and had a lot of rain after applying so i am sure if we get the sunshine now the grass will quickly start to grow.

Hard to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very messy product to use. It stated you could use your walk behind spreader, which I did. There was a lot of very fine, dust like, granules that sprayed back at you as you walked. I ended up holding my breathe applying it. While it did the job it was supposed to, I feel that the only way it should be used is with a spreader behind your tractor. I will not be using it again just because of that.

We're sorry that you're not completely satisfied with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product has smaller granules then many of our other lawn products which allow for the granules to more readily stick to the damp broadleaf weeds to provide better weed control compared to our larger granules. Please contact us if you're interested in learning about our guarantee. We are available at the following link: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Working great in our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started using this about a month ago for our back yard and it's done a great job for our grass. We have 3 dogs and they love to play in the back yard. So you know they put wear on the yard. So far the grass is really looking better and fuller in the yard.

Makem Brown with Turf Builder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used my Scott Turf Builder about 2 weeks ago and have already seen some weeds begin to turn brown. Turf Builder is very easy to use and if you use a Scott spreader it spreads the contents with no problems. I would recommend this product.

It's Killing My Dandelions!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this spread on my front lawn with a Scotts spreader, in the morning, when the grass was dewy. Four days later I noticed the dandelions are browning and so is the clover. Not sure if the rain has washed it all away before all of the benefits were achieved.
