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.

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.

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..

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

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

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.
