Turf Builder Triple Action is a Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. It makes application of the first fertilizer of the year much easier because I do not need 2 applications just the one at least is a start. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to save a little when it comes to the number of applications of fertilizer.

Failed dandelion killer

Applied exactly to specifications. Its been two weeks and my dandelion weed issue is unresolved. I examined weeds and found only partial (at best) results. It appears the dandelion is winning this battle. I will never buy this product again. I was looking to eradicate my dandelion issue but this is not the product. I am very disappointed and feel misled. The standard weed and feed works much better than this half baked product.

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

Weeds are still growing, Unsure about Crab grass.

I purchased 3 50 LB Bags and 3 20 LB Bags, I used it following the directions exactly. The Dandelions and clover are growing like nothing was applied and its a bit early to tell about the crab grass but I have zero confidence that it won't grow. As far as the fertilizer part grass doesn't seem to be any healthier looking, It appears I wasted a lot of money and will probably go back to my old Weed and feed. I just picked up a bag of Scott grass seed and I really hope it does better then this.

Joey, we're sorry to hear Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action didn't work as expected. For best results, day and nighttime temperatures should be consistently between 60-85 degrees. This product will also prevent grass seed from germinating, so we recommend waiting at least 4 months before applying grass seed.

Triple inaction

I purchased the 1500 sq of triple action and my lawn has many more weeds and crabgrass than using the spring guard treatment. This formula appears to be the weakest across the board in killing preventing and feeding. I will never use this again. On the plus side the bees get dandelions this year. Along with all my early spring garden flowers

We apologize for your experience with our Turf Builder Triple Action, Greenjean. Some tips we'd like to share include the timeframe for the product to act. You should see some signs of wilt in the first 24 hours, but it can take up to 2-3 weeks for a complete kill, in ideal conditions. If your temperatures are frequently dropping below 60 degrees, this will slow the results. We are committed to making this right for you. Please contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca and refer to this review so we can further assist you.

Worst Scotts Product in 25 years

I've used Scotts products for over 25 years with great results but this is by far the worst and most disappointing of all. Not only did it not get of dandelions and prevent weeds, it's as if it fed and nurtured them. Would not recommend this product.

Ideal for cool season grasses, weed killer is meh.

Wichita, KS. Section 7b I compared Scotts Weed&Feed and their crabgrass preventer to this product, and the quantities of active ingredients come out to be the exact same per 1000ft^2 when applied per directions. So on paper this product looks to be the better deal instead of buying the weed&feed and crabgrass preventer separate. When they say this is the Northern Lawn formula they are saying this product is suited for cool season grasses, even though on the label it says fine for warm season grass. I have a *mostly* Bermuda lawn and the timing of the fertilizer is not right for warm season grasses as you need to get it down early enough to prevent crabgrass yet the warm season grasses are still dormant. Application (applied on April 8th, 2.5 weeks prior to this review): I accidentally applied the product to my front lawn at double the rate you are supposed to due to walking too slow with my drop spreader (first time home owner #rookie). I got it figured out in the back though, and applied early in the morning (7am) when the grass was still wet from dew and the sun wasn't on the grass yet. I gave both the front and back lawn 2 full days before watering in so as to let the weed killer have plenty of time to dissolve on the leaves of the weeds. Front lawn 4kft^2, applied 2 20lb bags (each good for 4kft^2) Back lawn: 8kft^2, applied 1 50lb bag (good for 10kft^2) Results: Front Lawn: All the clover, dandelions, and other broadleaf weeds were absolutely destroyed. I am the only one on the block without dandelions. The bermuda is starting to green up and looks healthy and dark, the few small clumps of fescue are growing like crazy, mowing twice per week already. I have seen no crabgrass yet. Back Lawn: Still tons of dandelions and some other weeds, haven't seen any crabgrass, much more fescue in the back so I can't really say how the bermuda is doing at this point, fescue is happy but not like how it is in the front lawn. Conclusion: It seems that applying at double the rate per 1000ft^2 really did good on the front lawn, applying at the actual rate in the back seemed to have not done much to the weeds which is disappointing. Definitely not cost effective to apply at double the rate for good results. Next year I will be doing a crabgrass and weed killer in early spring without any fert, and will fertilize later in may once my Bermuda is fully out of dormancy.

Great long term product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product that provides almost year round protect and feeding. I saw almost because it only covers some weeds for 4 months- won't know how effective that may be on weds for a couple more months. Otherwise a great year round product covering weeds, future prevention and feeding

The Best

Triple Action Scotts is Scotts best lawn care product I've encountered . The neighbor and I tried the Scotts 4-Step Product the past two years with poor results, weeds being a major problem. Probably should have requested a refund for the product not achieving the result as promised. The Triple Action delivers by preventing nuisance weeds and getting decent growth rates.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action in exchange for my honest feedback. This is this first time I used this product and I really like it ! I had a lot of crabgrass and broadleaf and it seems to have all gone away and it's amazing. I have used other Scotts brands in the past the spring, summer and fall and never got results like this. This product is very easy to use and distribute through the lawn. It's safe and effective.
