Want to kill your lawn? Use this product.

Bought this three weeks ago to support newly growing grass. The grass I had planted was growing healthily for 3-4 weeks. I hadn't cut it and was watering regularly as directed. I used a spreader to spread the Turf Builder triple action, followed watering and care directions and within days, grass bleached out and burned. It killed grass that I had spent time, money and effort on and converted something that was looking really nice into a redo. Shame.

Great product, Scots Triple Action

I used Scots Triple Action at the start of May 2018, after the first week the weeds looked like they were weekend , and I was disapointed, however after the second week all the weed were gone. Now my lawn looks the best it has looked in many years. The crab grass never came up, and all the clover is gone.

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.

We are terribly sorry that your lawn experienced damage after using Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. When used according to label instructions the product does not damage grass. While there is a safety factor built into the product, too much product can cause damage. If there is a chance of over applications, we suggest a watering program of a 1/2 inch of water every 2 to 3 days for at least 3 weeks. Most lawns will recover with time. 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 and refer to your review to see what can be done. We can be reached at 888-270-3714.

Time saver

Have used to step 1 HALT Crabgrass preventer in the past and had to wait 6 weeks to put the step 2 weed and feed. The result was that most weeds had grown a lot in those 6 weeks. This prevents that from happening. Worth it CT . No longer use separate weed preventer between step 1 and 2.

Products are not as good as they used to be.

I have been using Scott's products for over 30 years with mostly great results. I don't know what has changed in the past few years but both the (new) Scott's spreader, which clogs, and the Turf Builder granules that clump, together cause sporadic applications resulting in uneven distribution and a striped lawn. It is beyond frustrating. Does Scott's actually test these products?

Product did not work.

I put it down three weeks ago in Southern Maryland. It possibly caused the lawn to green up a bit, but it did absolutely nothing for the weeds. The chick weed totally ignored it. The other problem was how it was clumped together. It took forever breaking up the clumps before it could be used. This is not a good product. Will not use again.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. For best results this should be applied when weeds are actively growing. This should be applied to a wet lawn so that the weed control sticks to the weed leaves. It should also remain undisturbed for 24 hours to give the product a chance to be absorbed through the weed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Skip the "professionals" and save money!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So simple, just follow the directions and enjoy a beautiful, weed-free lawn! My neighbor spends $$$ for a lawn service and I just follow the Scott's 4 step program plus Crabgrass preventer and get superior results!

Overpriced product that you can't use.

I could not apply product with my Scotts spreader because the product was moist and clumped together. I broke the majority of clumps by hand, but the product still would not spread, because it would turn into a paste when the spreader attempted to distribute it.

This product deserves a WOW!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a lot of weeds and thin patches in our yard and "park", perhaps due to dogs? We used this and have a lot less dandelions and weeds and a LOT more grass. It really looks better. The only downside is that we need to mow more!

Works too Good!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this instead of my usual first step. My grass is growing like crazy and it's a beautiful dark green. I had to cut my grass twice a week and it is definitely getting to be like a carpet so full. I don't think a weed could fit in. This is exactly how I wanted my lawn to be. I enjoy having a great looking lawn. Thanks!!!
