meh

I bought this a little over three weeks ago and spread it on my lawn. The dandelions and clover were so bad this week I had to go out and buy a weed killer to take care of them. We will see if the claims for the rest of the year come true. I have always been a Scott person but I am sort of disappointed so far since this is a much higher priced product than others that claim similar benefits.

What happend Scotts?

The Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action was a huge waste of money!! I swear this stuff fed the weeds and not grass. Right now 7-5-2018 the weeds and crabgrass are taking over my lawn. What happened Scotts? Your products use to be the best. Now they are the worst and most expensive!!!

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.

The perfect all in one product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was behind fertilizing my lawn and had a yard full of weeds. I waited until after the rain to apply the fertilizer so that it would stick to the weeds. In just over a week, almost all the weeds are gone! Great product!

Complete

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied the Turf Builder Triple Action last fall. The grass stayed much greener then the back yard that was left without it. I am expecting a fast green up this coming spring and less weeds. I will send pictures after lawn is growing strong.

Fast results

Applied the Turf Builder Triple Action to get a handle on dandelions and other weeds. Some needed rainfall occurred following my application. Within a couple of days I began to see some yellowing and wilting of many of weeds and clover I wanted to get rid of. Great product.

Softball Sized Clumps

Opened up my Scotts Triple Action last evening to find that a large amount of it was clumped together. I would estimate two softball sized clumps and one cantaloupe sized clump. These do not just fall apart and run through the spreader. I had to repeatedly stake them with a metal rod to attempt to break them up. I probably ended up throwing away 1 1/2 pounds due to being sick of messing around with it. If what I got down works out I'll be happy but for the price of this the large clumps should not be there.

All in one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the ease of all in one and not having to worry about reapplication windows. Sometimes pre emergents can be intimidated because of the specific application windows. Additionally i think pre emergents have made the biggest difference in my relatively recently seeded yard

Not so good

Not all that impressed with this product. I used it in early april and we were experiencing a drought. It did make my lawn greener but it didnt do much for controling the weeds. I had to work much harder for my lawn to look good this year than I have had to in the past.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Turf Builder Southern Triple Action & Green Max Lawn Food Bundle and appreciate your feedback. For best results, this product should be applied when weeds are actively growing and when daytime temperatures are consistently between 60℉ and 90℉. Low or high temperatures will delay weed control. Although visible results may be seen within 24 hours, this product can take up to 3 weeks to completely kill weeds. 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.
