Stay Away!

I have always used Scott's products with great results, but this new product I thought I would try this year was a complete failure and waste of money! I followed the directions and recommendations as stated and now I have at least 3x the amount of dandelions than when I started. Application was about 3-4 weeks ago. I should have stayed with what I have always used, Scott's Turf Builder Weed and Feed, which has always worked as described.

Very disappointing product. Junk

I was amazed how high the price was for a 12,000 sq ft treatment. Much more than similar products last year. I have a tractor tow behind spreader that I've been using with good results for some years. It failed to spread your product effectively, I now have a terrible looking striped lawn from using your product. I think I'm a victim of Corporate Greed as the product was awful and there seems to be no alternative brands in my location. Did you buy the competing brands out to your own benefit? I'll purchase local organic products and never your products going forward.

Fantastic for my new tall fescue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this on a cool spring morning in early May when there was plenty of dew on the grass. The patch I applied to was just planted last fall so it's the grass' first spring. I was disappointed in how thin the grass was appearing and some weeds were taking hold so I was anxious to get something down. Now it's been about 3 weeks and the improvement is extremely noticeable. The weeds have curled up, and the grass is WAY greener and thicker. We've gotten about three inches of rain since applying, so it's gotten way down into the soil and seems to be working like magic.

works like expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scott Turf Builder Triple Action bag. We have had rain in the forecast every other day so timing was great. I applied the Triple Action Turf Builder with my spreader. Within a week the lawn started to come alive, turn green any weeds I had started to die off. I will keep using this product in the future

Disappointed

I used the Triple Action according to directions, watered properly according to directions and am very disappointed with the results. It has been 4 weeks and my lawn is not greening up much. I thought it would look better. Weed and feed looks better.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max Lawn Food Bundle and appreciate your feedback. 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 grass. Grass will not respond during periods of dormancy from either winter, high heat or drought. Thatch over 1/2" thick prevents the nutrients from getting to the plant roots. A continued or general yellow look may indicate a lack of iron. 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.

Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is an excellent product. I used it a couple months ago and I see such a difference in my lawn. This product helps with weeds, and prevent crab grass. It helps with a number of weeds. The value of this product is very good. The quality is great! It's very easy to use. Lots of information on the bag. I highly recommend this product.

Does not prevent weeds or Crabgrass

I used this product as direct at the beginning of the season before there were any signs of weeds or crabgrass and I had loads of weeds and Crabgrass . I hand picked all the weeds and crabgrass By the rotes to the point there was none left, than used this product again 4 months later, 3 days after applications crabgrass came roaring back. DO NOT BUY!!! It's expensive/ waste of money and you are better off using a Chemical lawn service.

My lawn has never looked this bad

I decided to spend more money this year and bought 3 large bags of Scotts turf builder triple action versus the competitive brands and my yard has never looked this bad. I did use exactly as directed. Save your money and use anyone else. So disappointed I thought Scotts was the best.

Did not work

Sadly, this product seems worthless. Read and followed instructions exactly. Dandelions and other weeds are growing more than ever, and there is little evidence of greening. Very disappointed in Scotts. I expected more from this usually reliable company.
