Worked for me

I was worried after reading some of these reviews, that it would burn my already beautiful one acre lawn. I decided to try it anyway. My lawn did great. So much so that my neighbors were in ewe and asked me what I do to have such a green, weed free lawn. Only problem I had was my fault. The fertilizer/weed control stuck to my wheels on my spreader. I would bang the spreader to knock it off. Where I did that, small spots turned yellow. Now I know what not to do. Looking forward to applying it again this year.

Triple actions word in all 3 areas!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott's triple action fertilizer was easy to apply and worked effective at controlling dollar weed in my yard. It also helped with the fire ant infestation we have here in the low country. I have always used the weed and feed for southern lawns and it did a great job on the lawn and weeds it is nice to be able to treat for ants also!

Stay with the original 4 step plan

I was talked into buing the Triple Action by a representative and told to follow up 6 to 8 weeks later with the Ultra Feed. BOTH products did not work!!! First the Triple Action left my lawn full of clover. And the Ultra Feed did nothing but make my lawn a dull green with patches. I have used Scott's for many many years and wish I had stayed the course, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

DO NOT BUY. KILLS EXISTING GRASS

I saw a few reviews saying this product will kill your existing lawn but they were overshadowed by tons of great reviews. I am 100% convinced those “great” reviews were all BOT comments now as this product is awful. I seeded my whole back yard with Scott's sun shade mix about 3 months ago, added the 3 in 1 fertilizer to kill existing weeds and give my grass a boost. Yea no, a week later I have huge bare brown spots all over my yard. Please if you see this, do NOT buy this product. All your hard work and money will be erased due. I don't

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!

New programs not as good as the four step plan !

I reluctantly tried this hoping it would work as well as prior products. I figured if it worked as well as prior products, the price increase was warranted by the claims on the bag. Well guess what, your baby is ugly and I don't mind telling you! I have been using Scott's products for years (40 to be exact) and have never had such dismal results. Some wilting of weeds but nothing else other than an increase of brown spots & a crabgrass invasion. I will be switching brands to find something similar to the 4 step program that worked well for many years.

Caking makes rotary spreader application difficult

I have applied Scotts products to my lawn for 14 years. This product was by far the worst in terms of caking. It made it almost impossible to apply properly using a Scotts Elite rotary spreader. My lawn is roughly 2/3 acre, and typically works just about perfectly for 2 bags of 14,000sf Turf Builder product with that spreader. Despite constantly trying to break up clumps by hand (using gloves), and bucking the spreader, it never applied with the proper flow rate. Pebble sized clumps still clogged the in-take, even after opening from the prescribed 3 1/4 setting to 3 1/2. In the end, the one 12,000sf bag applied across the full lawn, which I know means I wasted my time. I think the product is too finely ground, and that promotes the caking, but that's just an opinion.

Product did not work.

I put it down three weeks ago in Southern Maryland. It possibly caused the lawn to green up a bit, but it did absolutely nothing for the weeds. The chick weed totally ignored it. The other problem was how it was clumped together. It took forever breaking up the clumps before it could be used. This is not a good product. Will not use again.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. For best results this should be applied when weeds are actively growing. This should be applied to a wet lawn so that the weed control sticks to the weed leaves. It should also remain undisturbed for 24 hours to give the product a chance to be absorbed through the weed. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

triple action - so far so good

I applied the triple action in early May. Grass is lush and growing (fast!) with no signs of weeds. The only question I have is that I usually do the Scotts 4 step program. I'm not sure when my next application is and what to use since the triple action is good for 4 months.

Awesome Results!!! Check the photos !

Retired and I hate lawn maintenance! Followed Scotts website starting last fall, didn't rake, used winterizer then this spring triple action 4 weeks ago!! NOT a single dandelion or crab grass, look at my neighbors yards in the photos for a comparison!! Seeing is believing!
