One bag does it all!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed about this product was how small the granules were. How can the other brands of weed killer expect their product to work if the granules are too big to stick to the weed leaves? The only downside is that I couldn't use it on one section of my lawn where I plan to plant new grass seed next week. Now, if Scotts would add grub control it would truly be one bag!

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.

Hope it works but not sure

Applied today as temperatures are getting into the 60s once in a while but not regularly. Did so because crab grass is already present in yard. Also there were MANY very hard clumps in each of the two bags I used that required me to bust them up with my hands and some were so big and hard that I had to use a hammer. Size went from the size of an orange to the size of a half gallon of milk. Pretty annoying.

Mixed feelings on continuing to use Scott's.

I've always used Scott's products and will probably continue to do so. It's convenient. Here's the reason for continuing to use a product I rate at 3 stars. In and of itself, the fertilizer works fine. My problem is that I have a 15,000 square foot lawn, and Scott's, like so many other product manufacturers, has changed the large bag to 14,000 square foot and of course, are charging more for it. That means, in order to get complete coverage, I have to buy a what used to be 5,000 square foot bag, now a more expensive 4,000 square foot bag, with no use for the leftover 3,000 square foot of product. The second issue I have is the 14,000 square foot bags seem to now be vacuum sealed, ergo, no convenient way to break up the large clumps that other reviewers have mentioned. Basically, you have to dump the contents into the hopper, then break the clumps up with your hands. That, of course, requires goggles, gloves and a mask to keep the dusty product off your skin and out of your eyes, as well as your nose, mouth and lungs. This isn't something a customer service rep is going to fix over the phone. Scott's has always, in the past, worked well for me. I'm considering simply going to a landscape supply and buying commercial grade fertilizer.

Didn't work at all

I applied the product and watered it in thoroughly in early March before any crabgrass was growing, and while there were actively growing broadleaf weeds. It didn't kill the actively growing weeds and didn't stop crabgrass from growing. Currently there's at least 1 clump of crabgrass every square yard. I ended up having to hire a company to come out and spray.

Almost weed free after application

We applied this at the end of March. We live in Georgia with Bermuda grass. In prior years our lawns were full of weeds and crabgrass. But not so this year! Only weed we still have is Virginia buttonweed. So hard to get rid of, so if Scotts is listening please advice what to use. but tripple action really worked and we are quite proud that after the research and application at the right time, we have a good looking lawn now.

It works!

Got some and gave to my neighbor to try because I have a dog and wasn't sure it was safe for her. After seeing my neighbors yard I applied it to my own yard and have had good results. I have a lot of clover and other weeds and this stuff really helps to get rid of them. Very happy with results and will put down again in spring.

Very Disappointed

Bought this product and applied in late March/Early April timeframe...northeastern Ohio area and we had an extended warm spell and grass was starting to green up between warm spells and minor freezes. I applied as directed using a Scotts broadcast spreader. Not only do I now have multiple dandelions in my back yard, it really didn't even green up all that well. I applied a second coat to my smaller front yard with the remaining material, hoping for some additional performance and better results. That was 5 days ago. Today I noticed a dandelion in the front yard as well, so it neither kills nor surpasses weeds, either. For the cost of this product, this is by far the worst Scotts product I've used in over the 20 years I've been using their products.

We apologize for your frustration regarding Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will kill actively growing broadleaf weeds and prevent grassy weeds that are listed on the label. It will not prevent broadleaf weeds and it will not kill existing crabgrass or other grassy type weeds. The active ingredients in this weed control will trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes the weeds listed on the label to grow themselves to death. This process can take up to 4 weeks. We want you to be aware that we do back our product with a product guarantee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to speak further about this.

This product worked better than I expected

I live in Southeastern North Carolina in a community where our HOA dues pays for the lawn maintenance. Whatever the product is the lawn maintenance company uses, in my opinion, is the cheapest they can buy in bulk and does little to nothing to our lawns. So, after doing some research, I decided to try Scott's Turf Builder Southern Triple Action for Zoysia, which is what we have. OMG!! I wish I had done this years ago. Our lawn is now the thickest and greenest it has ever been. An AMAZING product. Thank you Scott's

Does not work as advertised.

The instructions are confusing and contradictory. I followed the instructions closely, but most of the responses are not what was written on the bag. It "impaired" some of the dandelions, but I had to hit them again with Weed Begone to finish the job. I still have several patches of clover that were not impacted. I think they tried to do too much with one product. I will revert to Andersons Barricade for preemergence and Scott's Weed and Feed for post emergence weed control. I have not bothered to try and get my money back as it sounds futile.
