Awesome for starters!

I've never used any type of seed before and just now getting into the lawn maintenance aspect of my home. The seed spread so easy and coverage was great. I laid it about a week ago and I see weeds already starting to die off and gross is starting to grow in what was once dead areas. I may have to lay some more down in certain areas but I can't complain! I love it!

Excellent product/must follow directions

I purchased the product last November. The product was applied around 4/20/2023. Although my lawn was a little moist, it was a little too windy. Twenty four hours later I did water the lawn and a week later I did apply a PH enhancer with calcium to elevate my New England soil between 6.8 to 7.2. It would have been better to correct the PH prior to fertilization. Lime takes up to 6 months to elevate the Ph. Calcium responds almost immediately. Keep in mind that if you want to move your PH 1 point (6 to 7) forty pound bag will increase 1000 square one point. Thats ten bags for 10,000 square feet. You should test you soil in multiple sections of your lawn with a simple PH test or. In conclusion, I found that this product has worked much better than the four step program and I have tried them all. I am sure this is the result in the regulations with lawn fertilizers.

Do not recommend

Only good thing is I didn't pay full price and got it “on sale”. Although I don't consider the on sale price worth it for this product. Clumpy, even when stored in climate controlled area. Applied it, after breaking up the clumps, and was not satisfied with its results. Even sadder thing is I bought 2 bags to apply another later. Do not recommend and will most likely call it quits with Scott's products, as this isn't the first time they've let me down.

Highly Disappointed

I've been a lifetime Scott's Turf Builder, mostly Weed & Feed. We bought this home back in September of 2018 and we continued to use the a lawn service provider the previous owners recommended for a year no issue.. Then I decided to go back to Tuff Builder and treat our yard ourselves again back in September 2019. We tried two large bags of Triple action for the first time, I started to see weeds growing around the edges of the yard over the winter after the first treatment in September and we started to see even more weeds all over after the second treatment with two bags in early March. My yard looks terrible this year compared to last year and according to my neighbors this is the first time our yard has ever had any weeds since it was built. I very strongly recommend not using this product. I'm a military veteran of nearly thirty years and have live in several different states and climates and always used other Scott's turf builder products with great results pretty routinely but not with this product. I have never seen so many weeds grow in such a short period of time after a treatment. I think we basically feed the weeds.

We apologize for the issues you have encountered with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. The weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after using this product as the active ingredient causes the weeds grow themselves to death. The weeds will die within a 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. Temperatures play a key roll in any lawn care project, especially weed control. This product works best when temperatures are between 65-85 degrees, as weeds will go dormant when temperatures rise above or go below that. Therefore they can not absorb the product. We do have a product guarantee that covers all of our products that we would be happy to extend to you. We would like to discuss this issue more with you so that we can extend to you this guarantee as well as to learn more about this issue. At your earliest convenience, please call us and refer to your review to see what can be done. Our phone number is 877-220-3089.

Heavy but good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was starting to see broadleaf and weeds because my neighbors do not use anything on there lawns. I applied triple action and within the week there was no sign of weed germination. Outstanding product but smaller bags would beappreciated.

Took care of my Dandelions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Scotts Turf Builder Triple action and saw result within a week, my grass was greener and the dandelions we're starting to die. Won't have to worry about pulling them as I mow or spraying them. I watered the grass before I put it down the next day watered the grass again, easer and cheaper than calling a lawn service to do it.

Did nothing

Didn't touch the weeds in my yard. Crab grass still grew along with dandelions and clover. With further research, I also think the suggested timings for application are too late. My weeds had probably already germinated. I have a huge lawn so this was not a cheap investment. Utterly useless.

We are sorry that Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action didn't provide the expected results. This product prevents crabgrass from emerging for up to 4 months when the soil is not disturbed. We also advise applying the product when daytime temperatures are consistently between 60 and 80°F. Please contact us for assistance with this. We are available here: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

Does not work

This product does not kill clovers. Not sure it feed or prevents anything. I applied to pristine conditions per directions. Clovers are flourishing and have new crab grass to start the season. Waste of money. Have like other Scott's products, this one is does not work.

reply from Consumer Service

We are sorry that you are disappointed with your purchase of Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will control actively growing clover, but will not prevent it. This product does not control mature crabgrass or other existing weeds. It prevents crabgrass if applied before temperatures reach 80 degrees (crabgrass starts to germinate once temperatures reach the 80's). After 4-6 weeks, you may apply a clover and crabgrass control. We want you to be confident in our products; therefore, we offer a product guarantee. To receive more details about this, please contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca.

Alll 3 things you need for your lawn in one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually use Scotts step 4 program which i love. We have a 2nd home in the upper Peninsula that we don't have the opportunity to use the 4 step as easily , so it was really nice to have an all in one. I would definitely use again !

Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I saw all the commercials for this product and was eager to try it, especially when dandelions and clover were starting to take over my lawn in early May. I put this down and within DAYS, the weeds are gone and my lawn looks amazing. It is definitely feeding the grass as well, as it all looks very lush. I wouldn't hesitate to use this again. Very good.
