The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.

Yard went from a terrace formed area, to a dormant "lawnDr" seeding in late Sept, their follow up care the following spring.
After that, all Scotts.

Works well but don’t overfeed
I got this on a bit late and already had a fair amount of post-emergent clover. The clover is gone after two weeks. However, I made the mistake of applying extra to a few areas where there was a lot of cover. Clover is now gone but I have some mild burning of the grass in those areas. Apply as directed and don’t overlap too much with the spreader or over-apply, or you could get brown patches. Where applied as directed my lawn looks great and the clover did get under control.

Get a weed free lawn using this product!!
Scotts step 2 weed control fertilizer works like a charm. My yard was full of dandelions prior to using this product. I won't be using any other brands anymore! My yard is looking great and i do not need to feel embarrassed inviting friends over for backyard BBQ's anymore.

Easy and effective to use
This product is easy to use on a planned lawn maintenance schedule, and effectiveness is typical of Scotts Premium Lawn Care products.
I would use this well after applying Turf Builder fertilizer with Halts weed control, to take care of any weeds that managed to emerge before the anti-germination ingredient had done its job.

Picture Perfect
Lived up to expectations. 20 acres of woods, lawn / house in the middle. Plenty of wind blown weed potential but this product definitely stops the weeds. We will definitely recommend this Scotts products to others. Us seasoned citizens prefer products that do the job efficiently.

Love Step 2!!!
Have been using the 4 Step Program for over 30+ years. Always get compliments on my lawn. Step 2 feeds the lawn and kills any weeds I may have. Always comes through. When I'm asked what I use or how my lawn looks so good I always recommend Scotts 4 Step Program. Love Scotts!!!
