Applied to my lawn and areas started to die!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Applied to my lawn after 6 weeks since I planted the sods (that looked great by that time!) and after few days areas in the lawn started to dry out, some areas started to be sticky and burned looking. I now washed it from my lawn (hopefully all of it) and will not use it again.

Sustained Green

The dog days of summer snuck up on us this year. We were away for all of July so when we returned in early August, our lawn was feeling the effect of not being watered and cared for during the hottest days of the year. It took less than a week for this product to liven up the grass again after applying it and watering over a few days. Since then it has been an easy task to maintain the green vibrancy of our grass. Definitely will be using Scotts lawn food again next year

Gets good results everytime

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Builder has always produced a thicker and greener lawn without burning. It feeds for nearly two months. Have tried other brands occasionally, but always come back to Scotts because it simply performs better.

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.

Fool Proof product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this product down the same times commercial companies do my neighbors and Scotts greens up quicker, lasts longer and the turf is fuller. This is a great product and I will continue to use it.

Easy to use quality & consistent product. Exc. nutrients blend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like to use this consistent time release, non immediate watering need non burning product without weed killer as we have very few weeds & spot treating with herbicide liquid is more effective & economical.

We are sorry that you did not receive the fertilizer response that you expected from Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. To get the most out of any fertilizer, we recommend that you maintain your lawn with adequate water and regular feedings. When mowing, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. If repeated applications of fertilizers fail to green the lawn you may want to consider checking the pH levels of your soil and also make sure that you do not excessive thatch buildup as both of these can prevent nutrients from reaching the grass roots. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

Results using this product are outstanding

I have used this and many other Scott fertilizer products for years and the results are great. My yard is one of the best in the neighborhood and I feel Scotts has played a large part in helping maintain that stature. I will continue to use this and other Scotts products in the future.

Did not help my lawn

This is the second year I have been applying Scotts 4 step lawn products. I follow the directions and application intervals. My lawn still has crabgrass, weeds and brown spots. Retailers give different recommendations for the 4 step applications which complicates the application process.

Not at all pleased.

Bought this product and followed the instructions on the bag. The Instructions read to apply on dry or wet lawn. So I applied on dry lawn in the evening. My lawn now looks awful, the product burned my lawn. We love our small property and spend a lot of time with our flowers and grass. I am so disappointed now with my lawn. Back to trying to restore it,

We are sorry that you have experienced problems with your lawn following an application of Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food. Damage can occur if products are accidentally over applied or applied to drought and heat stressed turf. This type of damage can sometimes be minimized by watering 1/2 inch every 3 days if rain is not expected. We suggest that you follow this program for the next 4 weeks if you do not receive sufficient rainfall. We also recommend that you do not apply any other product to the area for the next 4 weeks while your lawn tries to recover from this situation.
