Eliminated my fireant problem
Living in Florida, I have always used Scott’s Turf Builder to fertilize my St Augustine lawn. This year we experienced an onslaught of fire ants. Triple Action got rid of them along with feeding the lawn. Highly recommended!!

Dead Dollar Weed!!
Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action was a life saver. My neighbors yard is filled with dollar weed which creeps into my yard.I put down one application of the weed killer and it accomplished the task of eradicating the invasive weed. I am over joyed with the fast results.

Excellent product
This product boosted the performance of my already thriving st Augustine grass by a clearly noticeable amount. It also seemed to give a wider tolerance to drought, requiring less watering. It is definitely a superior product for southern grass.

Scott’s Turf Builder
I put this down on my yard about a week ago. We are not and have not gotten much rain in central Florida this year, so I have been running my sprinklers quite a bit. My grass had not been growing much until I put this down. It’s been working great and my grass is now growing. 10/10 recommend.

Happy as usual with the results
Personally, I have been using this for many years and it worked great as it always have in the past. I follow the directions to the letter and have had good results. It does a good job in keeping weeds and crab grass out of my lawn.

Helped turn my patchy yard into a golf course
I’ve been struggling with patchy spots in my yard for a long time. I’ve tried lots of products but none really made a huge impact. A friend recommended I try Scott’s Turf Builder and see how it goes. Well I did and it definitely made a huge improvement in my lawn. I had no idea how important a quality fertilizer is. My grass looks greener than ever and the patches have disappeared. I used the product extremely consistently and followed the directions to the letter. I’m very happy with my lawn now.

Great product and packaging!
Great packaging. Excited and planning to use this product during fall months. I received this product late and was suggested to use it during fall months when the temperature is below 85 degrees. Thanks
