Triple Action effective against weeds and crabgras

I have used this product on my tall fescue lawn the past 2 springs and it has done a good job in keeping weeds and crab grass from developing through out the early growing season

Works Great!

Product is consistent and has worked great on our lawn for over 7 years. We have Tall Fescue grass, and generally keep up with lawn maintenance throughout the year.

Too good to be true

I bought this product on reliance on the sales pitch that it was “triple action” of killing weeds, fertilizing and preventing crabgrass. It failed to perform. I've used corn gluten, a natural crabgrass preventer,, which worked better on the crabgrass prevention, and organic fertilizer, which I've found is critical for a healthy lawn. On the other hand, I am reminded of the old saying: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is false. Thinking of the ease involved to use such a product suckered me into trying it. Don't be fooled…

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) and appreciate your feedback. Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) prevents crabgrass and other listed grassy weeds and a limited number of broadleaf weeds from developing for up to 4 months. It does not kill mature crabgrass or other existing weeds. It does not prevent dandelions, clover or most other broadleaf weeds. To control crabgrass, apply in early spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing of the lawn. Apply before temperatures reach 80 degrees (crabgrass starts to germinate once temps reach the 80's). Apply before dandelions reach the "puffball" stage. It is important to water the lawn immediately after the first 24 hours of the application. If there was any digging thatching, aerating or any activity on the lawn that would break the soil barrier, crabgrass can develop. 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.

Drowning in Crab Grass

I have been using Scott's lawn fertilizer for years. The 4 step worked great. Hard to find, so using triple Action for several years. Use Halts in early spring. Always apply 4x per year. My once beautiful lawn is now almost all crab grass. Each year it got worse. After seeing these other reviews will no longer use Scott's. Will cost a fortune to take out old crab grass lawn and put in new lawn, but looks like only solution.

Greens and Thickens

Triple Action greens my fescue lawn very good and thickens the turf, but there isn't much weed killing action. Dandelions and various other weeds are still vibrant and strong unfortunately. They wilted for a day or two and sprung right back. Clover, well you all know, that's a lost cause.... As far as crabgrass control, last season Triple Action held it at bay of what I experienced, but it'll come back the following year. For better weed control, stick with a liquid and use a surfactant when applying it. No granular weed control has ever produced good enough results in my lawn. And I follow directions and the application exactly as listed!

Best lawn around.

Second season using Scott's turf builder triple action. The lawn has improved so much. Getting a lot of compliments from my neighbors and friends. Use a lawn company before...not going back. In fact my neighbor stopped his lawn service and bought a spreader and triple action.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Triple Action and Green Max Bundle and appreciate your feedback. 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. Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) 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. 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.
