No guesswork
I’ve been using Scotts for over 30 years. Your programs have always given me the results I was looking for. Wouldn’t use anything else. The tailored plan is perfect. With reminders! All the guesswork is removed.

Scotts, make this available for Retail Sale in AZ
I have used this Turf Builder Southern Lawn Fertilizer in AZ for 3 years. I had to petition Scotts to make it available for sale in AZ when I discovered it works miracles on AZ lawns due to its N-P-K ratio of 32-0-10 with an ADDITIONAL 2% IRON (fe). It was formulated for Southern lawns which are prone to heat and drought. Last year, Scotts finally made it available for sale in AZ, ONLY for purchase thru their online website. It is STILL UNAVAILABLE in AZ at Home Depot, Lowes, Amazon, Ace Hardware, etc. It is registered and approved in AZ as a fertilizer so I cannot understand WHY SCOTTS is not offering it for retail sale in AZ. My lawn is, once again, the greenest in my neighborhood due to this wonderful Turf Builder Southern Lawn Fertilizer! It's due to the 2% Iron in the formula! I am hereby requesting again for Scotts to make this Turf Builder available for Retail Sale in AZ so that other AZ homeowners can also see the amazing results on their lawns as I have.
Scotts - why are you preventing the Retail Sale of Scotts Southern Lawn Food Turf Builder in AZ? I've been working with Scotts Corporate on this issue for 3 years!

This product works great 👍
I applied this in June to Zoysia zone 7a, I watered when it was needed and It hasn’t stopped growing ever since. Sometimes I even have to mow twice a week. The lawn is thick, green and beautiful. It’s now ready for its fall feeding and I’m hoping I can stop mowing by Christmas.

Best lawn fertilizer. Only brand I use anymore.
Only fertilizer I use anymore. I have Bermuda and it definitely greens and fills in better than anything else I have used. Used to use Vigoro which isnt a bad product but just never greened like Scotts. I also only use their seed too,
Looking at some of the pictures of people that are unhappy and it looks like they have other problems or have not applied properly. Some have expectations that this will fill in bare spots but you need to reseed properly for that.

A+ Results, Very Pleased
I have used this Southern Lawns fertilizer on my 1/3 acre lawn in NW Arkansas the past 3 years, and I'm very satisfied with it. It must be giving the lawn everything it needs to thrive and choke out weeds in the process. Last year I started by having my lawn aerated before fertilizing in late April which has also helped with absorption as we live on a slight slope. It's a bit pricey, but I really enjoy having a nicer lawn than the neighbors lol.

Great products that worked well for me.
I've used this regularly since we moved in (2019). I had good Bermuda in the front yard and a hodge podge in the back. Now the front yard is do thick niece's and nephews come over to walk and roll in it. I do the same. The back is much more even with 100% coverage now and no bare spots. I use the Scott's app and follow that fairly closely. Love the outcome Scott's. Thank you!

We have had droughts 3 out of the last 5 years in Texas. It has really taken a toll on lawns. I have been using organic fertilizer. I have palisades zoysia which can take the heat but has been thinning over time. I decided to go with Scott’s. Wow! What a difference. In 6 weeks my lawn is twice as thick. It’s so thick it’s now crowding out the weeds. So I signed up for a 1 year program directly from Scott’s. I got a 10% discount and they deliver directly to my house. So far it’s a no brainer. I’ll report more results later. But so far, Scott’s is the bomb!
