## Description

Your lawn can have it all when you use Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding. Designed for DIY homeowners to use when planting new grass, this lawn weed preventer plus fertilizer prevents dandelion and crabgrass for up to 6 weeks without harming new grass, jump starts grass development so it establishes thicker and quicker, and feeds to protect against heat and drought. Other weeds prevented are clover, ground ivy, chickweed, henbit, and nutsedge. Apply Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding to a dry lawn when temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 90°F, then lightly water to activate. This product is for use on newly seeded, overseeded, or newly planted Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Centipedegrass, and Fine Fescues. We recommend applying this lawn care product with a Scotts spreader. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 4 1/2. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 7. For Scotts Wizz, use a setting of 4 3/4. This product does not include grass seed and will not kill existing weeds. One 17.2 lb. bag covers 4,000 sq. ft.

Review: Great for New Lawns, Efficient and Easy to Use - I’ve been using Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built for Seeding on my new lawn, and I’m really impressed with how well it works. This product is a game-changer for anyone trying to establish a healthy, beautiful lawn from scratch. It combines three important functions into one seed, weed prevention, and fertilization, which is incredibly convenient. The application process was super easy. I used a spreader to cover my lawn, and it went down evenly with no issues. After a couple of weeks, I started to notice new grass growing in the bare spots, and the weeds that had been creeping in were effectively kept at bay. It’s great not having to worry about multiple products or treatments; this one does it all in one go. I’ve noticed that the grass is not only growing well but also looking greener and healthier. The fertilizer in the product gives it a solid boost, promoting strong root development and helping the grass thrive. This is especially important for new lawns, and I can already see the difference. As for the size, the 17.2 lbs bag covered the recommended 4,000 sq. ft., which was perfect for my yard. It’s worth noting that you do need to water the lawn after applying this, and I’ve been consistent with that to get the best results. The product didn’t cause any burn spots, which can sometimes happen with fertilizers, so that’s a relief. The only thing to keep in mind is that it’s important to apply it at the right time of year, preferably in the early spring or fall, so you get the most out of the weed prevention aspect. I’ve used other fertilizers before, but this one seems to be more comprehensive and effective in promoting new growth and keeping weeds away. Overall, I’d highly recommend this product if you’re working on a new lawn or even just want to improve your existing one. It saves time and effort by combining three essential lawn care tasks into one step, and the results speak for themselves.
Review: Outstanding Fertilizer "Scotts Triple Action Built For Seeding" After Planting Seeds - First picture is day one (11-1-2024) when I planted grass seeds and put down the fertilizer built for seeds. All dirt, no growth as you can see. Second picture is about 5-6 days later. The grass is starting to sprout. Third picture is today (11-9-24) only 8 days after planting the seeds and the grass is growing very well. I would say 80% of the growth is from the fertilizer. Another 10% of growth is from putting seed cover (top soil) on top of the seeds to: 1. keep the birds from eating the seeds; 2. helps the seeds grow a little faster; 3. helps the soil maintain moisture. The last 10% of growth is from watering the grass (3) times per day. The seeds need to be maintained in moisture for as long as possible so they can sprout. I planted the same seeds in my front yard, but I didn't use the fertilizer made for seeds, and I think it took a while longer to grow. I will definitely buy more of the Scotts triple action built for seeds fertilizer whenever I need to start another grass project from scratch. I'm very happy with the results. One thing: don't put down too much fertilizer or it will burn the grass. I went back and put down more fertilizer where I thought it needed more, and in those spots the grass is turning white instead of green. It's still growing, but not as fast as in the other areas. Great product!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, just don’t put in areas where there is any amount of traffic.
*by A***R on September 4, 2025*

This has worked well in a no traffic area, but if there is any walking at all on the area, you won’t see anything. I get it, but I was hoping to see faster results in my backyard where my yard dog runs around.
