About This Product

Nothing is better than lush, green grass. Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food is a fertilizer that feeds and strengthens your grass to help protect against future problems. This fertilizer also builds strong, deep roots and improves the lawn's ability to absorb water and nutrients (vs. unfed lawn). Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food can be used on any grass type. Apply the product to a wet or dry lawn. We recommend using a Scotts spreader to apply this product. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3 ½. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 6 ½. For Scotts Wizz, use a setting of 3 ¾. If fast results are desired, lightly water the product in after application; however, watering is not required. Return unused product to original container, and sweep any product that lands on the driveway, sidewalk, or street back onto your lawn. One 37.5 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food covers 15,000 sq. ft.

      What temperature range would you use this product
      ByJun 28, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Timing your fertilizer application perfectly is the secret to a great lawn. The main rule of thumb is to apply Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food when your grass is actively growing. In the spring, this means waiting until daily temperatures consistently land between 60°F and 80°F (15°C–26°C). If you have a Southern, warm-season grass, hold off on fertilizing until the lawn is completely out of dormancy—ideally after your first mow of the season. Finally, if you're feeding your lawn in the peak of summer (over 85°F / 30°C), be sure to water it in right away to protect the grass from heat stress.

                  Horrible-do not purchase
                  Purchased this item based on reviews, don’t do the same mistake I did. Followed instructions instead of my lawn turning green I got a bunch of dried out patches throughout my front yard. Once again do not purchase this item.

                      DO NOT BUY!
                      This product is turf killer, not turf builder!!! I put this down on my beautiful green lawn and it killed the grass completely. I spread it on a part of my lawn to test the results. In 2 days it was completely dead where I spread this stuff. See picture. The far part of my lawn is beautiful green. The yellow dead grass is where I put this stuff. So now I have to spend over $1000 to fix my lawn, on top of the $28 I paid for this bag of garbage. BUYER BEWARE!!!

                        Commercial is Outstanding
                        I don't have a lawn. I have a small area of Astro tuff because I live in the desert. If I did have lawn I would buy your product solely based on your Ad with the Red haired fella. Brilliant!!!.

                          Works as described
                          I have been using this for ten+ years. I apply it once at the start of the growing season, once mid summer, and once late summer. I spread according to the specified rate with a Scotts spreader. Then water the lawn heavily. I’ve never had it burn. And the people writing reviews complaining because it didn’t kill their weeds obviously can’t read. This is straight fertilizer without weed killer.

                              Read the label
                              People still need to understand of it hot and dry out for weeks dont fertilize. Or use 1/2 recommended amount. This is a good product and people who complain its not killing their weeds... its just fertilizer the bag doesnt claim to kill weeds. So READ THE LABEL! This is probably why your burbing the lawn. The one pic looks like u used a scotts spreader wheb it was wet out. The ganules stick to the wheels and clump up leaving heavy streaks of fertilizer that burn stips of your yard. This is why you must follow all instructions.
