  • 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.

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 Lawn: Make sure the grass is wet from dew or a light watering before applying the product. For best weed control results, the particles need to stick to the weed leaves.

2. Check the Weather: Make sure there's not rain in the forecast for 24 hours after application. Rain can wash the particles off the weed leaves before the have a chance to work.

3. Prep Your Spreader: Fill up your Scotts spreader and dial in the right setting.

4. Apply: Walk at a steady pace to get even coverage across your lawn.

5. Water it In (Later): Wait 24 hours, then give your lawn a good watering. This washes the particles down to the soil and activates the crabgrass preventer.

  • 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 wet 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 1 out of 5 by from Not working as expected I've applied the product twice and haven't seen it working to control the crabgrass on my lawn

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 1 out of 5 by from Doesn’t prevent crabgrass!! First time trying the triple-action. Bought in April and put down in early spring/April and worked good for weeds; dandelion, etc.. In June, noticed some crabgrass near driveway edges, etc.. so for put down again in June to ensure lasted full season (hot August). But now in Mid-July and yard is COVERED in crab grass!! Can’t tell anywhere it was prevented and nothing else was done to lawn; not thatched, treated, etc…. False advertisement IMO..

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 1 out of 5 by from Doesn’t work on Clover or Dollarweed This did not work on clover or dollarweed. It did take care of the dandelions.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from White Clover Overload The grass turned more green but instead of dying, the white clover took off! Scott’s was kind enough to refund my purchase price but until I can try something else, I have more white clover than grass. I applied the triple action product with a Scott’s Elite spreader at the specified rate of 3 1/4. Perhaps the 2 year old spreader is faulty but at the cost of it I hope not. It was definitely broadcasting the product. Either way, I have to wait 6 - 8 weeks before using another product. Going back to Weed & Feed.
