Works just fine
This is to balance all of the negative reviews I found here. After reading all of the problem reviews I was reluctant to try step three but I did. It worked just fine. No burning or problems. Guess what, I actually followed the directions. It says to water right away so I waited a few weeks until rain was near. One day I saw rain showers about an hour away so I put it down. I do horizontal passes then go back over with vertical passes so I use a bit more than directed. Three weeks later the lawn has a deeper green, not like the bright green of step one in the spring. I don't know what the other people did to have such bad problems but I had none of them. Maybe they didn't put it down before a rain shower or water it in. I don't know. Just don't take these few bad reviews as a consistent problem as it worked fine for me.

Beautiful lawn
I used the step 3 but by mistake I put the dial to my Scott rotary spreader on 2.5 instead of 3.5 . My lawn turned a beautiful green but I wanted it darker . It was then I noticed I had not used the correct setting I redid the lawn and it is a strikingly dark blue green color. Beautiful. I had cancelled lawn company called weed
Man because they came out 3 times and never took care of the weeds and my lawn remained yellow . That’s when I decided to use the Scott’s step 3 program . I will never go with weed man again . For the cost of weed man I could easily buy more than what I need of Scott’s products .

Good to know what you but better t know what don't
I've used Scotts Fertilizer's 4-Step Program for years and always had great results. 4 stars plus in my book. As for you people who gave one star and had only harsh words, Well, there's more to using fertilizers than simply spreading some granules out on the ground. Timing,Temperature,Watering and
type of Soil Only mention a few. Do you think farmers just drop a few seeds and, bingo, they have corn? There is a science to all of this, and if you don't understand it, then you should hire someone who does. Scotts, you should be commended for your customer service and offering a direct 800 number.
to technical information and assistance. Keep up the good work; many of us do appreciate it.

Great results
I am at step 3 now and the lawn has never looked better. I had a ton of weeds, so I did strep 2 twice, one month apart
The neighbors are stopping by asking what I am using! The temp has been 90+ for 3 weeks now and still looking great

4 Step guy
A few years ago I decided I'd had enough of the ridiculous Zoysia grass, which doesn't really thrive well in the northeast. I dug it all up by hand, used grass killer and waited to plant grass seed. After awhile, I had a lawn again, but the question was, how shall I fertilize my new lawn? A guy in the garden store turned me onto the Scott's 4 Step program. Right from Step 1 which is applied in early spring, I could see amazing results: thick, lush, green grass and my lawn went from brown disaster to a lawn I can be proud of. Simply follow Steps 2-4 throughout the summer til early autumn. I never tire of the compliments from my neighbors and the Scott's 4 Step program is so easy to follow, they've taken out all the guesswork.
