Great product!

Such a fantastic product. I live in South Carolina and regularly feed my grass mid summer. Scott's products have always helped my centipede lawn look it's best. Follow the directions, and with a little TLC, you can have the best yard in your neighborhood!

Scott's turf builder beats all others

I have used Scott's turf builder for 48 years and continue to use it. I seeded my lawn in August of 1966 and have had one of the best lawns in our area for 48 years. People stop and walk on it to insure it is real. They also take pictures of front yard as we have many flowers. I even won a lawn mower for having the best lawn in the Quad-Cities about 20 years ago. No need to use a weed killer as lawn so thick that few weeds ever grow in it.

very surprised

I used this product immediately before a heavy rain and I am very pleased with the results! It does not eliminate weeds, but my grass is much greener and thicker than before! My neighbour had a lawn care company come to his yard and our lawns are now comparable!

Good Results

I have been using this product for many years with good results. I apply with a broadcast spreader and the material is very easy to work with. It is completely dust free, so I know the material is getting on the lawn. My only concern is the price of the product as it has doubled from when I first started using it.

Killeen my grass

I had great grass. Everyone would compliment it and then I got over zealous and used this horrible product. I use very little and it burnt all my grass. Slow brown spots turned into most of the grass turning Yellow. I read many reviews like this. Never again will I use Scott's.

Striping the Lawn on Accident / VERY Powerful Stuff!

I was given some of this as a gift. i borrowed a drop spreader and did part of my lawn. i thought i was doing ok with the drop spreader but i didn't get close enough to the last pass made. kind of lost track where i was. I bought the broadcast spreader now and i will use it exclusively. i have a huge lawn and i could see everywhere that i got and didn't get with it. my section i did looked like Yankee stadium. you can really tell that where i didn't get it the grass is a lot thinner and lighter looking than where i did get it. you will get results with this product. wish i could post a pic. i was advised to put it on one notch higher than the label recommends in early spring. in middle of summer follow directions as recomended.

Great Product!!

Fast & easy to apply. I used the product for the first feeing of the saeson and my lawn looks great. Very healthy & green. The only person that is not happy is the guy that mows my lawn. The grass was so thick that he had to mow it twice. I only hope he doesn't start charging me more!!

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

You Get What You Pay For

Scott products tend to cost more than the competition's, and definitely more so than "private label" products offered through farm products retailers. This said, even a homeowner like myself (i. e., not a horticulturalist or landscaper) can repeatedly get superior results with Scott's "Turf Builder". In fact, after using "Turf Builder" almost exclusively for the past fifteen years (I have tried a time or two to save a few dollars and go with a private label/bargain product, and/or to save a half hour or so and pay a "professional" lawn care company to spray my yard), I no longer even find the need to apply weed inhibitors or herbicides, as the turf is sufficiently healthy to choke out problem elements. Again, I'm a homeowner who scoots out during half-times and seventh-inning-stretches, applies "Turf Builder" to my KY Bluegrass yard (in Ohio), without necessarily applying under "ideal" conditions, and I still get excellent results by fertilizing four to five times per season. My yard always appears better than the surrounding neighbors, who try to rely on either budget products, or lawn care "professionals". I won't go on. Buy the stuff -- it works, and you do in fact get what you pay for, provided you're after a healthy, lush and green yard to begin with.

The only brand of lawn fertilizer that I will use.

My experience has always been good with Scotts Turf Builder. I apply it with a Scotts drop spreader at the recommended rate and always have a thick green lawn. I don’t use weed-killers because the grass is thick enough to keep almost all of the weeds out.
