Customer Reviews for Scotts Turf Builder 40 lbs. 4,000 sq. ft. THICK'R LAWN Grass Seed, Fertilizer, and Soil Improver for Sun & Shade

very poor product, used last year did great, did this year not so great, picture tells the truely,very displeased.

Started with a slug ridden front lawn and in one easy treatment, watering each day and 6 weeks later perfectly vibrant and full fresh green grass!! Extremely pleased with results!

Bought this product from big box store to fill bare area in the front of house. Followed the instructions and watered it everyday for two weeks. The area is full and beautiful! Thanks Scott's!

On 05/15/20 I purchased Thick R Lawn. I followed the directions to the letter. Wallahhhh, Super Dooper. Here are the 3 pictures of the before and the after. The after pictures were taken on 06/15/20. This is an amazing 1 stop shopping product to enhance your lawn. I highly recommend it, well worth the money. Just purchase it, Read and follow the directions and you will get results as I have. Thank You Scotts. Jim Brooklyn CT. 06234

We aerated and dethatched the yard and overseeded with this product.

This is a product that I was catuious in purchasing. With mixed reviews I decided I would give it a shot. Prior to application the grass was cut low, I raked the area and aerated by hand using a garden tiller; so no machinery. The results are mind blowing in my opinion, beautiful thick green grass. Two reasons for only rating 4 stars; 1) the types of weeds that grew during this process were not there prior to application 2) there are still a few bare patches that nothing germinated in. I believe the patches filled in or appear to have filled in because of the fullness of the grass now. The date of application picture is May 4th and the results picture is June 11. I guess you can be the judge. Side note I did hand pull weeds prior to application and during the growth process. The grass was watered twice a day for 15 minutes

we live in a townhome and have a small front and back yard. I was going out of town for approx 2 weeks and decided to lay this down in both the front and back yard. Out back yard was REALLY bare (read:no grass) between the dogs and a 10 foot pool we used to have in the yard. I realized what I had purchased after the fact but decided to use it anyway. I came home to a back yard totally full of new grass (minus a few difficult patches we have nearly always had) and a front yard that looked fuller than ever.

This stuff works great for my recent overseeding project. I will likely do this every year now. I would recommend to any that is looking for a thicker, greener lawn. I thactched and aerated first, but likely could have got away with only one of the two.

Highly recommend

FABULOUS! This greener and thickened my lawn after applying using garden weasel in April to push the seed in beyond my wildest dreams!! Best lawn I have ever had... beats all my lawn care companies combined.

Even with having a fertilizing company landscaping company a grub control company my grass was always not as lush as it could be. It was always just good never great.I applied the application about a month-and-a-half ago back in early April. Now 6 weeks later. Lawn is nice and green more green than my neighbors and very lush and full.

This makes your lawn thicker from the weeds. I should have left my lawn alone. Would have been in better shape.

I bought this thicker lawn after installing the Scott app on my phone for my lawn care. I used all the steps as mentioned on the bag. I cut the grass on lower mower settings , dethach my lawn, used the spreader to spread as per the settings mentioned on the bag. I watered every day and keep the soil moist but i am highly disappointed with this product.

After 2 weeks of watering, I have not seen dramatic results. For the price that you’re paying, this provides average value.The product covers a ~35x35’ area. It does spread well, with a rotary spreader.Be sure to follow the directions, and rake the dead areas first. Cut your grass low (2”).

Followed the directions to a T and used a spreader to put some of the 50% thicker Fescue product in my fescue lawn. The pics explain themselves but essentially I have deep green patches that grow 5x as fast as the surrounding lawn. It’s a mess. Looks like the wind/rain brought some it over to my surrounding neighbors whose grass is now diseased looking like mine, but not nearly as bad. So that’s awkward for me. Called Scott’s and they gave a refund with proof of purchase (don’t toss the receipt!), but my lawn is so much worse than before. Scott’s said to water it three times a day for the next few months. Scotts didn’t seem interested in paying my water bill. Besides watering will only make it worse. I’ll probably try and manually rip it up if I can. Complete disaster.

My husband and I ordered a bag of this stuff to replenish our front yard. We had a few years where we really didn’t take care of the yard like we should. After just two weeks we saw great results and see it continue to improve. We make sure we just water once a day. Super easy to use, safe around pets - this was a great purchase and I would definitely recommend.

We weren’t sure what brand of seeds to pick but we are so happy we picked Scott’s. It grows very fast!

I dethatched and aeriated before application of the Turf Builder Thick’R Lawn Sun and Shade. The temps were in the 70’s and sunny daytime/ 45-55 lows at night with normal watering in yhe morning and evening. No thickening of the yard, or new sprouts. I am dissapointed in this product, did not perform in best conditions for seeding a new yard. Scotts does have a guarantee i called on and is being taken care of at the time of the review.

The only issue I had was that the fertilizer and grass seed were a 50/50 mix. Although it say 4,000 square feet of coverage, it is thin.

This past summer's heat really took a toll on my front lawn. I first purchased Thick'RLawn 4000 sq ft package and decided to overseed my existing front lawn. I first mowed my lawn low and de-thatched my lawn and raked out removing all of the dead flat areas. I then prepared the surface and used about 2/3 of the bag. Within 7 days I began to see the shoots appear. I am now in my 3rd week since applying and my lawn has a great new look and is filling in real well with a few weeds showing that I will address later. Remember to keep the area moist! My project took about 5 hours preparing the surface and the cost of $50.00 - well spent! ps: Thick'RLawn has fertilizer built in so no need to purchase any starter fertilizer.

This product is excellent. Grass took first time and was a lavish, soft and full green covering. I have attached before and after photos The after was taken a little over a week ago, and is much fuller now I kept the seed moist and actually raked in into the soil, so birds didn't get and wasn't washed away from rain.

We bought this to replant our entire yard.... Our lawn looks horrible!!! Lots and lots and lots of crabgrass!!!! A shame considering how expensive it is!!

In May we had a lot of landscaping done and needed to re-seed a major portion of our lawn. The first section was seeded by the landscaper with economy priced seed and it filled in nicely. Since the other area was a combination of sun and shade, we thought we'd try the Scotts Thick'R Lawn 3 in 1. What a HUGE MISTAKE! There are a few sprigs of grass and the rest of our lawn is WEEDS! Not what we expected from Scotts especially since we paid over $100 to see the large area. Now we have beautiful landscaping surrounded by WEEDS!! I read other reviews with the same issue but thought Scotts would never deliver a product of such low standards...we were wrong! Don't waste your money on this!!!

Like some of the other reviewers, I've been guilty of not paying any real attention to our lawn over the past several years. This year, that finally caught up with me and come spring we were left with a sad, bare, thin and moss-ridden lawn. In an effort to ensure that our property didn't become the neighborhood eyesore, I aerated the lawn using a friend's lawn cleats, scraped the moss up and removed it, and then put down two 40 pound bags and one 12 pound bag of Thick'R (property is less than half an acre) on May 28 - the "before" picture. By the 4th of July, it looked like a new lawn as you can see from the "after" picture. Even better, this was accomplished in one pass over the lawn, rather than one for fertilizer, another for seed, etc. The revitalization of the lawn has been a hit with the wife, and surprisingly the bare patches in the "after" picture which were seeded on the 4th - long after grass seed should be planted - have sprouted and are growing well into our summer season. I'm no lawn expert, but if our experience is any indication Thick'R does exactly what it promises to. One of my family members was so impressed they went out and got some for both their lawn and their daughter's lawn.

Before And After I Started Using Both The Soil And 3n1...One Month Later The Lawn Goddess Has Spoken

This product did not produce the desired effect of grass. I waited a month and returning the bag. Maybe I should try again abd then come back to give this another review.

Seeds been down for 2 weeks with plenty of rain/water and still has not taken.

I was skeptical with this product but gave it a shot. I read AnsiLawn's review and looked at the photos and didn't quite believe it. Our backyard was in a complete state of disarray. Thinning lawn from a once lush, green lawn a year and a half ago. I relied to much on our gardeners who didn't do jack besides trim hedges and raked up leaves. I did a bunch of research on lawn care and I learned more names of weeds and summer larvae that I cared to know. The soil in our backyard turned acidic and the proliferation of lawn moss and weeds were apparent. Before I applied two 12 lb. bags of the Tall Fescue mix, I dethatched and raked up three 13-gallon bag fulls of lawn moss. Afterwards, I spread fast acting Lime and Moss Out! Finally, I spread the Thick'r Lawn and watered the lawn twice a day for two weeks (5 AM and 5 PM, 5 minutes). In a mere 3.5 weeks, we got our backyard back and just in time for summer! For it to work, you need to prep your yard, especially if it's malnutrition like ours. I will re-work our pathetic front yard in late summer and re-seed in fall with Thick'r Lawn. This time, with two 40 lb. bags!

Killed all the dandelions. Will be buying again soon.

Awsome product
