Get ready to multitask. This is your 3-in-1 secret weapon for a great lawn. It kills stubborn weeds like dandelions, prevents crabgrass for up to 4 months, and gives your lawn a good feeding. It's the simple way to tackle three big jobs in one bag.

Key Features

  • KILLS STUBBORN LAWN WEEDS: Say goodbye to dandelions, clover, and other listed weeds. This formula takes out the weeds you see and even the ones you don't
  • PREVENTS CRABGRASS FOR 4 MONTHS: Stop crabgrass before it gets a chance to sprout. One application in the spring prevents this pesky weed from taking over your lawn
  • FEEDS FOR A THICK, GREEN LAWN: While it's fighting weeds, it's also feeding your grass to help your lawn grow thick and strong, crowding out any new weeds that try to pop up

Your lawn is supposed to be your happy place, but it's hard to relax when you're seeing dandelions and worrying about crabgrass. That's where Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action₁ comes in. It’s a real triple threat in one bag. First, it kills the weeds you have now, like dandelions and clover. Second, it gets proactive, preventing crabgrass and other grassy weeds for up to four months. And third, it gives your lawn a good, hearty feeding, helping it grow thick and green. A thicker lawn doesn't just look great—it's also your best defense against future weeds. With Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action, you get a powerful, three-in-one solution that makes it easy to get the lawn you've always wanted.

  • Where to Use: This product is for use on Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, fine fescue, bermudagrass, centipedegrass, and bahiagrass.
  • Where Not to Use: Do not use on St. Augustinegrass (including floratam), dichondra, lippia, carpetgrass, or bentgrass lawns. Also, keep it away from flowers, shrubs, fruits, and vegetables.
  • When to Use: Apply in the spring when daytime temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F.
  • How Often to Use: Do not apply this product more than twice a year, and make sure there are at least 2 months between applications.
  1. Check the Forecast: This product works best when you apply it to a dry lawn, and there's no rain expected for the next 24 hours.
  2. Apply with a Spreader: Fill up your Scotts spreader, dial in the right setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage across your lawn.
  3. Water it In (Later): Wait 24 hours, then give your lawn a good watering. This activates the product to start preventing crabgrass.
  • Scotts Broadcast/Rotary Spreaders: 3 1/4
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 6
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 3 3/4

The timing on this is a little different. You want to apply it to a dry lawn and then hold off on watering for 24 hours. This gives the product time to work on the weeds that are already there. After that 24-hour window, go ahead and water it in to get the crabgrass prevention working.

  • Mow Smart: Don't mow your lawn for 24 hours after applying. You want to give the product a chance to really do its thing.
  • Seeding Plans: If you're planning on seeding, sodding, or aerating your lawn, hold off for at least 4 months after you've applied this product.
  • Keep it Clean: This product can stain, so be sure to sweep any granules that get on your driveway, sidewalk, or patio back onto the lawn.
  • Let it Settle: It's best to have the lawn to yourself while you apply. Do not allow people and pets to enter treated area until dusts have settled.
  • Gear Up: We recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, and socks when you're applying.
  • Wash Up: After you're done, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store leftover product?

Got some left over? No problem. Just fold the top of the bag down, secure it, and store it in a cool, dry place like your garage or shed, safely away from kids and pets.

This product has two jobs. The first is to take care of the weeds you can see. For that to work, the granules need to stick to the weed leaves for a full 24 hours. After that, watering moves the product into the soil to start its second job: preventing crabgrass.

It's best to wait. If you have a brand-new lawn, wait until you've mowed it at least four times before using this product. The new grass needs some time to get established first.

Think of this as Weed & Feed's bigger, tougher sibling. Both products will kill weeds and feed your lawn, but Triple Action adds a third major benefit: it also prevents crabgrass for up to 4 months, giving you an extra layer of protection.

This product controls existing lawn weeds like dandelions, clover, dollarweed, ground ivy, chickweed, plantain, henbit, and English daisy. It also prevents crabgrass, barnyardgrass, fall panicum, foxtail, and annual bluegrass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best I started using Three in One a couple of years ago and it has been the best fertilizer that I have ever used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as advertised will be amazed. First product that i have used that is a true post and pre emergent that works when weeds were active. Actually performs as a 3 in one triple action as advertised. Will be amazed when the weeds are gone and grass takes over as any yard owner wants.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product worked better than I expected I live in Southeastern North Carolina in a community where our HOA dues pays for the lawn maintenance. Whatever the product is the lawn maintenance company uses, in my opinion, is the cheapest they can buy in bulk and does little to nothing to our lawns. So, after doing some research, I decided to try Scott's Turf Builder Southern Triple Action for Zoysia, which is what we have. OMG!! I wish I had done this years ago. Our lawn is now the thickest and greenest it has ever been. An AMAZING product. Thank you Scott's

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scott's Program for Warm Season Grass First time user of this product. I'm trying to get my Bermuda lawn to my liking. I scarified my lawn around the 15th of April and applied Scott's feed with Crabgrass control.. April 28 I applied Scott's Triole Action at specified rate. Watered in after 24 hours and as of May 2nd I have a weed free and rapid growth in void spots left from scarfing and winter damage. My lawn is headed toward my vision. I'm pleased so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product After looking at alternate products, I ended up buying the Triple Action Weed and Feed. 1 reason was I have pets and Weedx required a longer wait period before they could go out. This product didn't disappoint. Augusta Green grass, fewer weeds. Very happy with the outcome. 1-2 weeks for it to work. I'm in south Florida with St Augustine Grass. Applied 4-5-2025
