Unexpected Results

After 10 weeks of growing 400 sq ft of Sun & Shade Mix, I had a full, vibrant green lawn. Required 4 waterings a day, but since I'm working from home, I considered it a once in a lifetime opportunity to throw careful attention to the project. Added this product according to the instructions on 6/4/21. Today, 6/9/21, I am looking at 60% - 70% burned out. All those man hours, toasted. Probably going to require a re-plant in early September. Is it just me, or did the marketing team get a little overzealous and make this product look like it has no downside. I was not even aware that there was any risk in using this stuff. I'm not landscaper, and I don't have decades of experience to rely on, so maybe I applied with a liberal hand. But if you sell this stuff in every big-box store in America, you should take time to let people know this can seriously damage people's property. You fooled me.

We're sorry this happened after using Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. This product should be applied using a spreader and not by hand as that can result in over applying causing damage. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca

Great product

I have been using the Scott's feeding program for a couple of years, now. The neighbors are always complementing my lawn. This product turf Builder lawn food is great. You can actually see it working the second day after you have applied it to your lawn. Highly recommend it. You'll love it.

Turf builder southern blend

This product saved me from having to re sod my whole lawn. I applied it the first of each month from May to September and bingo the zoysia came back so strong it filled in all gaps and began choking out the weeds. I highly recommend this product. Thanks Scotts.

Best Lawn in the Neighborhood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Scotts Turf Builder and Plus 2 on my lawn for the last 20 years and have always had the best looking yard in the neighborhood. My neighbor has a service and his yard is full of weeds and never looks as good as mine. I would never use anything other than Scotts.

Scott's for me

Up,until this year I have been using a lawn service but this year decided to do it on my own. Have used to Scott's high nitrogen fert and grass is greener and thicker than it has been. Just bought the fall turf builder at costco yesterday for fall application.

Amazing results!

We purchased Scott's Turf Builder a few months back and put it on our lawn, which has several weeds, clovers, & has looked unhealthy. It has been just over a month since we placed it on the lawn and it looks amazing now! Weeds are going away and lawn is greening up and the grass looks so healthy! Thank you Scott's for creating such a wonderful product!

Greener grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I alteranate this product with Bonus S Weed and Feed and I have a great looking lawn all year round. My lawn doesn't seem to dry up as fast as my neighbors lawns. My grass is always green but I do need to cut my lawn more often but the looks and satisfaction when all is done is well worth it. My weeds are under control as well.

Problems with my lawn...hired 2 different lawn services...with no satisfaction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used other lawn products over the years and never paid attention to the brand. Then I bought Scotts on the recommendation of a friend who had a beautiful lawn. I used the 4 step program for the last 10 years. However the lawn developed problems with weeds and dying grass so I hired 2 different lawn service companies. That only made matters worse. They were expensive and not reliable. I switched back to Scotts. Then I discovered your Lawn Food for all grass types. It has worked miracles. My grass is thick and green. Cant wait til Spring!

Mixed results; unclear feeding frequency

Fertilized in early June and results are mixed. In addition, the webpage for this product lists contradicting information on the frequency for using this product. In the Learn section, How Often to Apply is listed as 6-8 weeks, whereas the PDF in the Product Specs section specifies the Recommended Feeding Routine as 4 times per year (early spring, late spring, early fall, late fall). What's the correct frequency???

We apologize for the confusion. We recommend applying fertilizers 4 times a year for most grass types. These should be made at 6-8 week intervals during the growing season. You can create a lawn care plan that will tell you when to apply for your area here: https://www.scotts.com/en-us/help-center

Good product but contains weeds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food and Halts for over 25 years. The last two years I have noticed more weeds and different grasses in my lawn after using your products. Regards, Anthony
