No Action

I applied on April 7, today is May 3. Yard is completely riddled with Dandelions. This product does not work.

We are sorry you are unhappy with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will prevent most grassy weeds, but very few broadleaf weeds. Weeds such as dandelions and clover will not be prevented by this product. Complete control may take up to 4 weeks depending on temperature conditions. We back up all our products with a satisfaction guarantee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss this further. You can reach us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Didn't work at all

I used just as directed and this product didn't work at all. A lot of money spent and no results. Very unhappy and will not buy again.

Whit, we apologize for your experience with our Turf Builder Triple Action. We'd like to let you know that the most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for the fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. 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.

We apologize for the issues you have encountered with your Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. If the soil has been disturbed by dethatching, aerating, or heavy raking since application, the barrier may be broken. This would allow the grassy weeds to germinate. This is not what we expect from this product, and we would be interested in discussing this further so that we can learn more about this issue and extend our product guarantee. At your earliest convenience, please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link: http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

This product works really well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product because I am having issues trying to get grass to grow on the shady side of my yard. This product has worked better than anything I have tried so far.

Weeds still there!

Although my yard is greening up some after applying this product most all of the weeds are still present and green as well. I've used cheaper products that worked better.

We apologize that you were not thoroughly satisfied with Scotts Turf Builder Northern Triple Action. The active ingredients in this product will trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes the weeds listed on the label to grow themselves to death. This process can take up to 4 weeks. 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 contact us to see what can be done.

Worked great !

I was a little skeptical at first but after using for the first time it really works ! No weeds , including dandelions emerged. Also the grass greened up very nicely. Would buy again.

Is this normal?

Three of the four bags had all-white pellets, and the fourth had three different colors. Is this normal? Applied about a month ago; some treated areas look okay, but most areas still have weeds and ants. Everything is greening well.

Zero results

I was very disappointed with this product. I am always satisfied with Scotts products but not this one. Not a single dandelion or clover was killed. I will go back to the old trusty weed and feed to get the job done.

We are sorry that your Scotts® Turf Builder® Triple Action did not perform as expected.

Ineffective Clover and Weed Control

In second year of use, clover took over and other weeds were not well controlled. Uneven results using Scotts broadcast spreader as directed. Almost as expensive as lawncare service.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will only kill existing broadleaf weeds and is not designed to prevent the growth of new broadleaf weeds. Also, this product will only prevent grassy weeds, such as crabgrass. Lastly, weeds may appear healthier for a few days after application but you should see weed death between 2-4 weeks. Despite this fact, we want you to be confident in our products and we stand by the promises made in our advertisements. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 888-270-3714, and reference this product review for assistance.

Ineffective at killing weeds

As the photos show, this product was ineffective in killing the weeds in my lawn. Looking at my lawn you would never know the product was even applied. Very disappointing, particularly given the cost of the product.

We are sorry to hear that you did not receive the desired results after using the Turf Builder Triple Action. The listed weeds should die within 2-4 weeks when applied under ideal conditions. For best results, we recommend applying the product when temperatures are consistently between 60-80 degrees as fluctuating temperatures that fall below 60 or rise above 80 can delay control.
