Do not recommended

I put Triple Action down the beginning of May (waited for the recommended conditions) and am very disappointed. I had a bumper crop of dandelions last month and the clover is now taking over: worse it has ever been. My yard also has light green and darker green stripes. I have spread my own fertilizer for years, know how to avoid stripes, did the same this year, with far different results.

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 not kill grassy weeds but 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.

Always use Scotts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been so happy with the Scotts lawn fertilizers. I did do the fall application on this one, instead of spring because I have alot of clover. Was super easy to put down, did cover the estimated coverage with no problem. Actually had a little left. It has only been 2 weeks, but definitely killing the clover. Can't wait to see what else it does.

So far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a great idea - takes care of multiple tasks with one application. I have always used and trusted Scotts products - I have no reason to believe this product will not perform as advertised!

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.

Thye say it looks like green lawn carpet !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Due to work schedule I applied my fertilizer per directions a little later in the season ( a few weeks ago) than I typically apply by Scott's products. Instructions were easy to read, applied a little lighter than instructions as I am overly cautions always. Quickly greened up my lawn in front and still working on the clover in the back. We all know clover is a process. Hubby and I owned lawn care service and we only used and recommended Scott's products.

Poor results

Every time I go back to a Scott's product I am disappointed in myself for wasting the money. I purchased the "Triple Action" hoping for good results, no weeds, dandelions, etc....and it didn't work well at all. At this very moment there are dandelions still "in bloom", basically laughing at Scott's Turf Builder Triple Action and at me for stupidly buying it!!

We are sorry to hear about your experience with our Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action! Temperatures play a key role in any lawn care project, especially weed control. This product works best when temperatures are between 65-85 degrees, as weeds will go dormant when temperatures rise above or go below that. Therefore they can not absorb the product. 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.

Healthy Grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this in the late spring as part of my Scotts Lawn care app program. Had a wonderful healthy yard all summer very minimal weeds along one edge but, mostly because of neighbours yard. Overall grass was thick and really healthy. Would recommend this, and will using again next spring.

Bring back the 4 step

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 (26 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.

Wonderful Lawn Help!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Each springtime we are anxious to get a jump on the various problems we face with our lawn, such as weeds! Have found that Scott's Turf Builder is a real life saver. It takes care if the weeds and crabgrass. As an extra treat provides nourishment to the lawn at the same time. I would caution those using it to be careful when adding to your spreader, as dust rises as you pour it. Directions were very clear on the usage.
