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.

Works well and fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product two weeks ago. I can see how well it is working already. I could see weeds dying already. I recommend this product. Triple action is the right name. I could not detect an order either. And it being safe for people and pets after application is a plus.

Follow the Scott's process

It's not a magic potion that's going to fix a weed infested lawn after just one application. You need to start with the winter guard first then put down the triple action early spring then summer guard. If you do those 3 fall spring summer by the following season you'll have rid your lawn of weeds and have a nice healthy rooted lawn. It's a process that must be followed and maintained in order to achieve the desired results. Good luck.

Horrible product

Last time I ever buy Scott's anything. This product should never have made it to market. The clumps prevent the spreader from dispersing it evenly. I have no idea how much went where. For the price paid this is a rip off. I would be better off hiring a company to do it. You really dropped the ball on this one.

Please Fix the Review Priority

I purchased this product last year. I was not impressed with crabgrass preventer and have had poor results from Ortho Weed B Gon Plus Crabgrass Control. I am trying to read recent reviews and after the first page, it reverts back to Highest to Lowest. I am starting to loose my confidence in Scotts after 45 years.

I need help after using this bad product

I bought this a month ago. Applied early may. Ever since, not only did the weeds not go away but they got worse. I'm very concerned on next steps as this was very expensive and I don't want to damage my grass any more or lose more money. Any advice going forward?

New programs not as good as the four step plan !

I reluctantly tried this hoping it would work as well as prior products. I figured if it worked as well as prior products, the price increase was warranted by the claims on the bag. Well guess what, your baby is ugly and I don't mind telling you! I have been using Scott's products for years (40 to be exact) and have never had such dismal results. Some wilting of weeds but nothing else other than an increase of brown spots & a crabgrass invasion. I will be switching brands to find something similar to the 4 step program that worked well for many years.

Doesn't work, not worth the trouble

I put this on several weeks ago using a Scotts spreader and following instructions, and the weeds are still growing like mad has done nothing for my lawn. If I can't get my money back I will have to eat the cost and take it to hazardous waste to get rid of it.

Did not live up to its name

Bought this product last season due to a wood sorrel invasion. Worked great did the job so I bought it again this year. This season not so great, applied as directed, greened the lawn. Did nothing to the weeds. Did like Scott products so I guess it back the Halts spring fall weed and feed cycle.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) and appreciate your feedback. This product will kill actively growing broadleaf weeds and prevent grassy weeds that are listed on the label. It will not prevent broadleaf weeds (before or after the application) and it will not kill existing crabgrass or other grassy-type weeds. For broadleaf weed control, temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 80°F. For listed grassy weeds to be prevented, this has to be applied before the target grassy weeds germinate. The product must remain on the weed leaves for 24 hours, then must be watered in. The weeds will die within 2-to-4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. 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.

worked great combined with other Scotts products

My lawn took a beating last year. I started off with the triple action in late spring, then put the summer guard down. I needed to thicken up the grass, and this did the job and then some.I'll post pics of last years lawn, and the results this year.
