Burned lawn

This is the first time I've used a weed and feed product. I followed directions carefully and when my lawn started to come out 4 weeks ago or so, this is what it now looks like. I won't use weed and feed again.

Larry, we are very sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. If the product was applied to a stressed lawn, due to extreme temperatures or lack of water, the fertilizer component could be responsible for burning your lawn. Through a proper watering regiment you may be able to return your lawn to normal.

Not happy

I've always used nothing but scotts products and have always been happy. I put this down 3 weeks ago and I have more weeds now then I did to start. Very unhappy with this product

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will only kill existing broadleaf weeds, it is not designed to prevent the growth of new broadleaf weeds. Also, this product will not kill grassy weeds but is only designed to 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.

Made my weeds grow great

I applied this as per the directions, and ten days later I had the best crop of weeds ever. It did green my grass. had to redo the weeds with another product. Total waste of money. Would not buy again

Triple Action - Triple dud

I bought this a month ago hoping it would take care of dandelions and clover. Followed the instructions meticulously and low and behold I still have a bumper crop of dandelions and clover. Will ask for a refund.

Does not prevent crabgrass growth

Does not prevent crabgrass. Very disappointed at premergent crabgrass prevention. works on other weeds but crabgrass is rampant. Will not buy this product again. False advertising. Request a refund.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. This product prevents crabgrass and other listed grassy weeds and a limited number of broadleaf weeds from developing for up to 4 months.. Timing of the application is important. To control crabgrass apply in early spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing of the lawn, apply before temperatures reach 80 degrees (crabgrass starts to germinate once temps reach the 80's), and before dandelions reach the "puffball" stage. It is important to water the lawn immediately after the first 24 hours of 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.

Mixed results

Applied to my lawn over a month ago and it initial results seemed promising. Although the dandelions were reduced the lawn is now overrun with yellow clover. My yard looks more like a wild meadow than a treated lawn.

Doesn't work

I keep waiting for my grass to turn that healthy green you get when your fertilize, it's been over two weeks. Still getting dandelion weeds too. Not impressed at all. Should have saved some money and bought the cheaper stuff.

Doesn't Work!

I've used the turf builder and crabgrass control. I actually have more crabgrass in my yard now. I wouldn't buy another Scott product! It's expensive and weird how I have more crabgrass now, then before.

Lousy

I applied this in the morning on very dewy grass. No rain for 2 days and expected results killing weeds. This product is terrible. I love less than 20 miles from Scott's headquarters. You think they would know the grass/weeds.

Applied this product three days ago and had a good rain the next day. This morning my lawn is full of mushrooms/toadstools. Never had these growing in my lawn before. What's in this stuff?
