Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built for Seeding, 2-Pack — 8,000 sq ft, weed control & starter fertilizer

Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding is an all-in-one lawn treatment that helps newly sown grass establish faster while controlling listed weeds and supplying starter nutrients.

If you’re planting a new lawn or renovating patches, this formula combines three benefits—weed control safe for new seedlings, starter fertilizer to encourage vigorous germination, and conditioners to strengthen young turf against heat and drought. The two-bag bundle covers 8,000 sq. ft. (two 4,000 sq. ft. bags) and is formulated for common cool- and warm-season grasses. For best performance apply with a Scotts spreader to a dry surface and water after application to activate the product.

How does this product protect seedlings without harming new grass?

This version is designed specifically for use during seeding: herbicidal ingredients target listed weeds like crabgrass and dandelions while being safe for seedlings from the approved grass species. It won’t include seed-killing components, and new weeds typically sprout white or turn white and die after treatment.

• Controls listed annual grassy and broadleaf weeds for up to six weeks
• Formulated to be safe for seed germination of listed grass types
• Visible weed suppression without damaging developing seedlings

Will it help grass seed germinate and grow thicker?

Yes—this product contains starter nutrients that give newly planted grass a growth boost so seedlings establish more quickly and produce denser turf. The fertilizer and conditioners support early root growth, helping young plants better tolerate stressful summer conditions.

• Starter fertilizer formulated for seedling development
• Promotes quicker germination and thicker initial growth
• Helps young turf resist heat and drought stress

Which grass types and situations is this suitable for?

It’s intended for common turfgrasses including Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, centipedegrass and fine fescue. Use when establishing new lawns from seed or reseeding bare spots. Note: it does not supply grass seed; pair it with a compatible Scotts grass seed product for best results.

• Works with cool- and certain warm-season lawn grasses listed on the label
• Best used when starting fresh lawns or overseeding thin areas
• Apply with a Scotts spreader for even coverage and water to activate
