Burned and destroyed our whole lawn

Used for Years
August 5, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
When I became a homeowner here in Southern California in 1999, I had an "old-timey gardener" out to fix my sprinklers. He told me to use Scott's on my lawns, and I've been doing it ever since. I put down Weed & Feed in March or April, and there's not a dandelion or large weed to be seen in the lawn for months. The product is a bit less successful with the pesky clover, but does seem to minimize its growth. I took these photos the last weekend of July, in 100+ degree heat, and the lawn looks great...looks like this from about mid-May through October. Scott's is an annual part of my yard's care; very pleased with its performance.
Turned my lawn yellow
July 29, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
We had a green lawn, but had some weeds. Used the product and this is what happened. I was looking on the website to locate a place to contact Scott’s and it wasn’t easily located, so I’m giving a review in hopes they’ll contact me to talk about it. This same thing happened to the lawn at my work, only worse, around the same time.

Destroyed my lawn!

Purchased and applied this 2 days ago. Did very little for the small patches of weeds that I had, but burned the heck out of what was a healthy lawn prior to application. Before and after photos attached. Never will be using or recommending this product again.

Don’t Use: Burned My Lawn
July 6, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
I generally like Scott’s products, such as the grass seed and the WinterGuard Fall Lawn Food, but the Turf Builder Weed and Feed is terrible. I used it according to the directions, and, as shown in the photos, it completely burned my lawn. I will not use this product again. I would give it zero stars if I could.
Response from Consumer Services July 30, 2020
We are very sorry for the issues you encountered with Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed. This product can only be used on certain grass types and high temperatures can cause severe damage on the lawn due to the nitrogen. We recommend a watering program of 1/2 an inch of water every 3 days for 3 weeks. Your lawn should recover over time. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please contact us and refer to your review to see what can be done.

Absolute Best Fertilizer & Weed Killer
June 25, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
I have been using Scott’s Turf Builder Weed & Feed for many years I have, by far, the best looking yard in the neighborhood every year. People driving by have stopped many times to ask me how I get my yard so green and without weeds and tell them all about Scott’s because I can’t personally take the credit.
Horrible! Burned my lawn!
June 23, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
Bought this several weeks ago, and applied to a wet lawn, as directed, with broadcast spreader set at proper setting. Didn't rain for 24 hours. Dandelions started to curl up and die. 7-10 days later, my LAWN turned brown and started to die! I checked online & determined the best course of action was to water my lawn every morning, to the point of runoff, for a week! Tough to do on well water! Now, I have dead grass, and clover is coming up in strips, all over the place! This stuff is horrible! My lawn went from great to garbage in just 10 day's time. Check before and after photos.
Unsure about this product
June 21, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
I used the product a week ago yesterday, either it’s way too early to tell if it has worked or it just has not worked, weeds are still prevalent and the grass has not gotten fuller. The first application of the year was amazing and it did an awesome job, the jury is still out on this type.
Product WORKS as described!
June 18, 2020
Customer review from scotts.com
I applied at the end of April, beginning of May. After a week, weeds were dying and grass was taking back over. After a month, almost all weeds were dead and the whole lawn was back. Product works exactly as described. You can’t just spread it on and forget it. You have to follow the directions to get the best results. The results are simply what you would expect from the advertised results. This product delivers the results described.
The only con, is it would not kill the type of weed in the picture I posted. I have 2 spots of weeds like this in my lawn that remain. I don’t know what kind of weed it is, but weed and feed couldn’t handle it. It destroyed the dandelions, now I have just grass instead of a pock marked lawn of dandelion. Great product!!!
