Grass is super lush and green and weeds gone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally go with a local greenhouses program for fertilizer, but due to the increase in fertilizer costs I chose to go a different route this year. I got a Scott's Program for my front yard, and this for the back yard since it hasn't fully recovered from my backyard construction projects. I was a bit too late to take full advantage of the pre emergent for the crabgrass, but this stuff is still taking it in stride! It is definitely yellowing the few spots of crabgrass I have that were already sprouting up, which I didn't ever get with the greenhouse stuff. The massive patch of weeds I have along the driveway is gone. It consisted of vine-weed, chickweed, yellow foxtail, and wild barley. I have only had to go in and pull a few of the wild barley and foxtails as they were small, and those have been extremely resistant to everything else I have tried! I was so ecstatic to finally be able to mow over there without the fear of spreading those throughout the rest of the yard. The fertilizer portion is great as well. The backyard is growing at a much higher rate and has already produced quite a bit of seed. It is darker, fuller and more resistant to the drought than it has been in years. Overall, I am happy with this product, and would use it over and over again. This is just what I needed to reclaim my beautiful yard.

Terrible

I have not had any problems with weeds especially dandelions since I have owned this house for about 7 years. I usually use Scott's products with no issues, but this time was different. I purchased four bags since I have a large yard per the recommendations from a certain large retail store. It was a waste of money and hopefully we can get this figured out. You can't walk one step without standing on some kind of weed especially dandelions throughout my entire front and large backyard. This is very disappointing on the money I spent. I have read most other reviews and mostly everyone has had a good experience, I'm not sure if I bought a bad 4 bags but followed the instructions exactly. I wish I could turn back time and use my regular Scott's Halts crabgrass, then Scott's pure straight lawn fertilizer ( 3 day max green) and wait then follow that up with Scott's weed and feed. But I was talked into this triple action fertilizer that brought my weed count from zero to a lawn full of weeds. I really think I received a bad batch somehow if all other reviews are good. I still believe in the Scott's product but just not this one. Hopefully scotts reaches out to cover the cost of what I spent and what Scott's products I need to purchase to fix this huge problem. I will update if allowed once I can talk to Scotts's.

Will not use this year!

I've used this product for two years and it was a total waste of time and money. Definitely does absolutely nothing to prevent crabgrass or chickweed. Will use full strength crabgrass preventer and separate product for weed n feed even if it costs more and is more work. At least I get results. Very disappointed.

Easy to apply, great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this product to my front yard on a Friday morning. Within ten days my lawn was a vibrant green. There were virtually no weeds and application was extremely easy. This is a great product and I highly recommend it!

No clumping!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this for 2 years now and it makes a big difference come springtime. Many fewer weeds and the grass is a beautiful Irish green! It is very easy to put down. The bag is not too heavy to lift and it pours easily into the srpeader.

All in one

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a month ago and I used it on my front yard two weeks ago. Over that time I've watched the weeds shrivel and die. The grass has greened up slowly. The particles are very small so don't use on a windy day. You will have stains on your cement.

Made clover much, much worse

I followed every instruction they had, and even reached out to them to answer a question I had. It's been 2 months since, and my backyard is now almost completely taken over with clover. On a percentage scale I have probably 300% more clover than I did before I used this.

We are sorry that you are disappointed with your purchase of Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. Weeds may temporarily appear healthier and greener after an application of weed control. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes weed listed on the label to die. The weeds will die within 2 to 4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. We want you to be confident about our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 877-220-3089 for assistance. When calling, please refer to this review.

Hasn't worked

I purchased the triple action product at our local Menards at a much cheaper price then the other big box stores. Made my yard a deep green, even the weeds. They are bigger and healthier then ever. After reading other reviews you stay Temps need to be between 60 and 90 degrees for it to work. Sure hope so as we have a cold spell now

Resulted in Beautiful Lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied the Turf Builder Triple Action several weeks ago, and have already noticed fine results. The Turf Builder fertilizer spread nicely from the Scotts Mini Broadcast spreader. I would certainly recommend the combination for superior results to your lawn.
