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.

there's more to a brand name

I purchased and applied this produce, using the suggested application rate, to three lawns.. 50,000 sf of product. Initially we had greening but after only 20-30 day you could see the lawns having spotty brown spots and a overall brown tint to lawn with heavy clover coverage throughout the lawns. I've been a Scotts customer for over 40 years and cannot recommend this products use. The problem continues as we need additional product(s) to restore the lawns back to our liking.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. If the lawn starts to brown, check to make sure the roots are viable (gently tug to see if the roots are attached to the soil) if they are viable, water the lawn at least a 1/2 inch of water every 2 to 3 days for at least 3-4 weeks. The higher the temperatures the longer this watering routine should be practiced. Watering will help the lawn survive and/or recover. This product does not prevent broadleaf weeds (before or after the application). 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.

It made my lawn green, but it's the weeds!

I tried this product for the first time. It cost more than what I have been using prior. Living on over 2 acres, we have a lot of lawn! The store only had enough in stock for half the yard. So I did a side by side comparison. Applied both exactly as directed under ideal weather conditions! In all my years of lawn work, I never had the perfect weather pattern like this! The Scott's side is now overrun with weeds!! Clover, ivy, dandelions and a lot of new crabgrass! The less expensive competitor....virtually weed free. Save your money on this scam!

We apologize for the experience you have had with your Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. In order for this product to work, temperatures must be consistently between 60 and 80 degrees for several days. Temperature fluctuations can slow weed control.

It didn't affect a single weed in my yard.

I applied this last Friday on a nice, clear 60 degree day. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday it rained lightly, so I figured it would be the perfect combination to allow the weed killer and fertilizer to soak into the ground. It is now Tuesday afternoon and in the 60's again and there are more weeds now than Friday. 100% dissatisfied with the results.

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.

Works Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dandelion, crabgrass, weeds. They are all a pain in my butt. This stuff is where it is at. Not only does it help kill these pesky yard problems, it helps prevent them from coming back. It does so while giving the grass it's nutrients. It was very easy to spread around. A little bit of it went a long way. I would definitely recommend.

Effective & Fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love Scotts lawn and garden products. They never disappoint and this turf builder was no exception. Very user friendly and easy to apply. Covers alot of ground so also very economical. I live in the south with clay ground and weeds that are strong as men lol and grass that is the biggest challenge to grow. Using top quality products like this turf builder takes my frustration away knowing its going to knock out those pesky weeds and help my grass grow strong amd vibrant. Definitely recommend

Great features!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I was needing. Easy to read instructions and easy to apply. Would highly recommend. If you are unsure what to buy. Then this is it. The other brands I have tried have never come close to Scott's brand.

Chickweed Doug
1 out of 5 stars review

Failed completely killing the chicweed

I bought the triple action fertilizer and followed the application to the tee. The fertilizer portion worked fine along with the crab grass prevention. Here I am 5 weeks after application and NONE of the chickweed has been killed. A 100 percent failure. Brought sample to local nursery and they confirmed it is chickweed. I then bought a liquid weed killer, applied it and it has killed the chickweed. I have receipts, bar codes for the 2 large bags. Would like a full refund. This product really let me down.
