Terrible!!

I put this down at the end of April, it did absolutely nothing to help my grass. I had weeds growing, all types of weeds, front lawn and back area looked TERRIBLE. I'll have to start all over again next Spring. Worst of all, I should know better by now. For whatever reason, Scott's products seldom work for me whereas others do.

Our apologies that you didn't get the results you expected after using Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Lawn Food. The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. The lawn must be wet when applied to help the product stick to the weed leaves. After the first 24 hours the product must be watered in, this will help with the crabgrass prevention. Your feedback is important to us, and we will pass this on to our Quality Assurance Team. We would be interested in discussing this further so that we can learn more about this issue and extend our product guarantee. 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.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had weeds starting to grow . And the temperature was already up in the 60's. Very easy to read and follow the directions on the bag. Triple Action Turf Builder has only been down for a little over a weed. Can see the grass getting very green and very little weeds trying to grow.I'm sure Triple Action is doing its job and making my summer a lot easier'

Not what I expected

This did nothing to my lawn thought it would help with weeds and it didn't. Clover is still there along with some other weeds. I figured I would try something new. Should of stuck with my gut and used the scotts yellow bag weed and feed3. That stuff woks great used it once already earlier in the year. Lesson learned

triple action

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that it has the triple action in the one bag and thus is helping lawn in many ways.The bag was easy to handle and like the materials used in it.A little heavy but not bad,Materials came out of spreader nicely and can see the product on lawn after spreading it.

Scotts Triple action Turf Builder

I ;bought this product at CVA in West Point Nebraska using a Scotts rotary spreader I've went over my lawn 3 times and still have product left. It absolutely does not flow. I have no problem spreading any other Scotts product. I've been a believer in Scotts products for over 50 years and this is probably the end for me.

More crabgrass than ever

I bought this product in April and applied in early April, which was the recommended time for Michigan. Now I have more crabgrass than ever before; more than half my front yard is seeding out crabgrass. This product does not work. Buy a regular crabgrass preventer instead.

Still had weeds, crabgrass still came up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this down on grass that was so wet my pants were soaked up to my knees. It didn't rain for a couple days after I put it down. Yet I still had ground ivy and clover in my lawn. The dandelions did die for the most part. It is now the end of June, and I noticed some crabgrass that came up. Not much, and maybe a little less than usual, but still there. Compared to Scott's Turf Builder Weed and Feed, the granuals in this are much larger, and do not seem to be as effective. As far as feeding the lawn goes, it was on par with other Scott's turf builder products.

Somewhat disappointed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Triple Turf builder expecting a better than usual result. Sadly it didn't preform as good as I had expected. While there was a slight improvement it was not at all as much of an improvement as I hoped.

Scott Triple Action Weed And Feed fertilizer

This fertilizer was applied according to the direction on the bag. It didn't rain for about two days. Later we received two days full day rain and later my lawn has now turned brown and the weed are growing greener. This product is not for Alabama lawns. If I can get my lawn back to normal . I would rather put up with the weeds and Semi-green lawn rather than the brown lawn that I have now.

Disappointed

I put a lot of hard work into my lawn. Had mostly weeds. So I decided to start from scratch. Use a tiller/cultivater and planted new grass. Used all scotts products. The lawn grew in well; still had some bare spots where the seeds didn't grow though. Overall I was happy with the initial results. I was getting lots of compliments from neighbors. Still had some weeds grow to so I used turf builder. I was skeptical because while there were more good reviews there were lots of bad ones saying it turned grass brown. I wondered if it might be competitors of scotts writing them. I followed the directions to a tee. And ended up with brown spots in my lawn. Definitely disappointed. Hopefully my grass will get back to the beautiful green it was before. Can't put anything on it for 6 weeks according to the turf builder information. We'll see.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. This product should not be applied to new grass until it has been mowed at least 4 times. (Pendimethalin will inhibit the root development and therefore prevent spreading.) We recommend watering the lawn thoroughly (1/2" of water, about 30 to 45 minutes of watering) and repeat in 2 to 3 days. Follow this watering program for 3 weeks to help grass recover. 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.
