The turf builder is a 5, I love this product but the in-store service is -5, horrible service, that’s why gave it a 1star. I didn’t get my military discount.

I have always (25 years!) used Scotts Turfbuilder - and neighbors and visitors are constantly asking why I have ththe greenest, healthiest lawn in the neighborhood. Simple answer. Tecnically, the 30-0-4 blend seems to work best in my zone.

My lawn is victim as well
There are too many lawn fertilizers at Home Depot. Which one should I choose? Turf Builder: 12.5 lbs., 5,000 sq. ft. Lawn Fertilizer for All Grass Types has 1,494 5-star ratings, so it makes my decision much easier. After the application in spring, my lawn became a victim, as other 172 one-star-rated home owners' lawns. My lawn not only turns brown, it starts having all kinds of weeds. Lawn care is not an easy task, and Scotts Turf Builder definitely makes it much harder.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food and appreciate your feedback.

    The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be in-between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. You may wish to perform a soil pH test. Thatch over 1/2-inch thick prevents the nutrients from getting to the plant roots. The grass also may be under stress from disease or insect activity. If the lawn isn't receiving at least an inch of water per week, then the lawn will not green up as fast.

    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 reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. Scotts

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Food and appreciate your feedback.

    Any moisture that gets in the product will make the granules lump together. When it dries out, it forms hard clumps. If the product is stored in high heat or humidity or gets rained on, this can happen. Another possible cause is the product being stored on a concrete or cement floor or leaning against a wall made of either material. Concrete/cement draws moisture and can increase the chance of moisture getting in the bag. When purchasing the product in person, be sure to inspect the bags for signs of rips or other damage.

    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 reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. Scotts

        My favorite fertilizer, greens up fast and the green lasts. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the price is getting exorbitant.
