Disappointed

We bought this in the hopes of spending less and doing less. Wrong. We have used Scotts for 40 plus years. This year we have so much crab grass and weeds everywhere. Won't get this again. And I'm not buing any of the products I've used all along because who knows what they have changed in that formula.

Bbgun, we are sorry to hear of your experience with our Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product prevents crabgrass and other listed grassy weeds and a limited number of broadleaf weeds from developing for up to 4 months. It does not kill mature crabgrass or other existing weeds. It does not prevent dandelions, clover, or most other broadleaf weeds, but instead, it kills the ones already in the lawn. 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.

May have helped the turf grow

I applied the Triple Action product two weeks ago. While the grass appears to look healthier with no mowing during this time, the product may have also helped grow clover and crab grass. I haven't seen this much weed grow in our yard before. I followed the instructions closely so I don't know what went wrong. I'm skeptic about getting another bag to control the weed population now.

We are so sorry that the Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action did not prevent those weeds as expected. This product does not kill mature crabgrass but will control clover when used as directed. To prevent crabgrass, apply in early spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing of the lawn and before temperatures reach 80 degrees (crabgrass starts to germinate once temps reach the 80's). We do offer product guarantee, we can be reached at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca.

Goose grass

Is the product effective against goose grass? I put it down prior to the targeted germination temps and it seems to be working pretty well except for the huge amounts of goose grass that sprouted. The goose grass seems to be growing fast and is paler than normal. Is this the product killing it off? If not I will have to find an alternative product to kill off the goose grass! help!

Great Turf Builder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy to have discovered the Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action! I love that it kills, prevents & feeds. What more could you need. We have applied this in our side & back yard, and finally not only are the weeds gone, but the grass is growing awesome! I am very happy with this product. Very easy to use, and well worth giving it a try, as it killed the weeds & fed the lawn, leaving us with a beautiful yard. I would recommend.

working nicely !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this not quite 2 weeks ago and it seems to be doing the job. Dandelions are disappearing and don't appear to be returning even though my neighbors lawn 10 feet away is loaded with them. Grass has greened up nicely. I applied to my neighbors zoysia grass lawn and that has gotten very green. All in all so far it's doing the job it was intended for. My only question is how does this fit in with the Scotts 4 step all season program ? Does this replace one of the applications ?

Works well for lawns

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product killed weeds in the lawn as advertised. My back yard had a lot of clover and dandelion and this helped kill the weeds in a few weeks. I would recommend this for average or poor lawns looking to make it looks presentable.

Lack of information on the bag

I looked to see information on the impact of rain on the package. Did not find any. I applied around 4pm and we had a shower at midnight and much of the next day. Now I am worried it will do nothing. Could you please tell me where on the bag in says dont use if expecting rain in 24 hours? If I am wrong that is fine. Did not see that as part of the instructions.

We apologize for the issues you have encountered with Scotts Turf Builder Northern Triple Action. The information that states when to apply before a rain, can be found under the restrictions. You will want to apply when rain is not expected for 24 hours. We want you to be aware that we do back our product with a product guarantee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to speak further about this. You can reach us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

It's Green again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last summer I had an area of my yard that burned in the sun and when the snow melted it looked like I had never had any lawn there to begin with. I put this on as soon as the weather warmed and things are looking alive and well again. Looks like I'll get my lawn back. THANKS.

One last try

Last year I applied a large bag and a small bag (14,000 sq ft total), and can not say that I was impressed. Not sure it did anything to the clover, maybe made it worse, but did do a decent job on dandelions. I'm going to give it one more try before I start shopping around. I have used Scotts products for 25 years, but will switch if need be.

We hate to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. Weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after an application of a weed control.The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes weed listed on the label to die.You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after application due to this excessive growth.The weeds will die within 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. 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.

We always trust our lawn to Scotts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been utilizing Scott's lawn products for lawn maintenance, feeding and weed management for 10 years now. Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action was a new product in our household, and much needed this year due to an overabundance of crab grass, dandelions and other weeds here in NY. Because it is late in the season, depleting our crab grass wasn't much an option with this product at this time. However, after several weeks from our spread date, we have noticed a significant decrease in dandelions and other native weeds! This product spreads nicely using our Scott's Push Spreader, and the application, even on our 3/4 acre property took no more than 45-minutes. Like any product, it isnt 100% perfect and I do wish this product killed existing crabgrass better. However, our lawn looks lush, and is beautifully green. I love that Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action is designed to kill both exposed weeds and root systems, as it works to prevent weeds from uprooting and becoming visible. We have recieved so many compliments on our lawn, and are very happy with the results from this product.
