Quality of the product

I have been using Scott's Turf Builder for the past decade and have been very pleased with the results! One year I tried to save some money by purchasing and using a cheaper alternative from another manufacturer and was disapointed with how the lawn responded. That convinced me to stick with a tried and true winner....Turf builder!

Product is easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have moved 11 times (military), living in several states with different types of grass making up the lawns. Many times, previous owners did not care about their lawn, so when I arrived, I set about improving the quality of my new lawn. Without major overhaul, for instance digging up the existing lawn and starting over, I was able to nurse these lawns back to health, using Turfbuilder alone. I didn't even use weed killer versions, just strait Turfbuilder. By the time I was ready to go to my next duty station, I had one of the best lawns in the neighborhood.

Best in the Spring and Fall

I've been using Turfbuilder for the last 11 years. It greens up my lawn best in the spring and fall, but sometimes my lawn doesn't react to it in the summer months. I guess the heat is too much. So, my experience is temperature has as much to do with a deep green lawn as much as the lawn food. The good thing is it doesn't burn the lawn. That makes it a no-brainer to use. The Scotts customer service via email is excellent. Apply every 6 weeks and water deeply once a week, she says, and she sent me a $5 coupon! 'Nothing like free advice and money for nothing. Thank you, Scotts. P.S. I've had other lawn problems and applying the advice I got from Scotts solved the problems, every time.

Great product!

Tried other brands of fertilizers but nothing compares to Scott's. Makes lawns greener and last longer than other brands. They have done a great job on their research of their products and would recommend them highly.Have been using them for several years and will keep using them because of the great results I get with them.

Great product

Have use Scotts and ONLY Scotts for over 20 years. People always stop and ask who does my yard. I tell them I do and I use Scotts. I use the 4 strp program. NEVER a weed. A distinct line between my yard and the neighbor. He doesnt do anything. Mine is dark green and looks GREAT. Had family over from out of state. They were shocked how the grass felt barefoot. I will NEVER use anyother brand. If you want a great yard, Scotts is the only way to get it!

Amazing product

Finally, a product that works just like it says it will. I can't say enough good things about this lawn food. My lawn was starting to crunch, and was not looking very healthy. Once I applied this product, my grass greened up within a week and now grows like crazy, and with less watering. I have a lush beautiful lawn. In fact, I think it's the best looking in the neighborhood. I have to mow it every week or it's almost impossible to mow with my push mower. Hey, don't laugh, I like the exercise. So run, don't walk, and buy this lawn food. You won't be sorry.

Loads of clover

I live in a adult community and everyone uses the same guy to feed there lawns but this year I tried it my self, I have decades of lawn care behind me . I applied it once in the spring to a already healthy lawn. Two weeks later I have a white lawn. TONS of white clover . The only one in a row of 40 yards, like a postage stamp. The clover starts at my property line. Everyone has green lawns , mine white with clover. Had to hire the guy to get rid of it by spraying weed killer. Waste of time and money.

We are sorry you were not satisfied with the results from Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. We understand that it is very disappointing when weeds invade a lawn or garden area following the use of a lawn and garden product. Many lawn and garden maintenance activities bring weed seeds to the surface, enabling them to receive enough moisture and warmth to germinate and develop. Although it is common to suspect the product, it is virtually impossible for seeds to get into the products since no seed is present in our manufacturing plant. We would like to assure you that Scotts makes every effort during manufacturing to insure our products stay pure. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done.

Worthless product

I bought some of this thinking that it would help my lawn. It did nothing. I was better of getting 30-0-0 fertilizer which helped my lawn a lot. I detest products that don't tell you what is in it without doing a lot of research. Scotts seems to want to hide everything and I can't easily find the information I want.

Well the advertising works better then the seed

Bought a bag of Scott’s turf builder for a small area of grass near my kids swings... not impressed... used a entire 1750sqft bag on like a 300sqft area... and got sub par results... after following instructions... So IDK, not what I was expecting, disappointing for sure.

We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. You can contact us if you would like to continue discussing this or if you want to know about our product guarantee.

The only product I use on my lawn

I would have to be the most dedicated person I know when it comes to my lawn. This year is the best for me because I apply this safe food to my lawn. Any season any lawn can not make it anymore clear on automatically choosing the best food for my front and backyards.Because of applying every time my lawn is cut, which is every week, small amounts of course, My lawn has no weeds, is a very deep green, thick, gorgeous! I take very much pride in my yard and this summer it truly looks its best!
