Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding is a combined pre-emergent weed preventer and fertilizer formulated to protect and accelerate establishment of newly seeded or newly planted lawns.

Use this 17.2 lb bag when you are seeding, overseeding, or installing new sod and want targeted protection against common lawn weeds while giving young grass a nutrient boost. The Triple Action formula is made for DIY homeowners working with cool- and warm-season grasses including Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Centipedegrass, and Fine Fescues. One bag treats up to 4,000 sq. ft. when applied with a spreader and lightly watered to activate.

How does this product protect new grass without harming seedlings?

Scotts engineered the formula to act as a pre-emergent weed preventer that controls certain weed seeds as they germinate while being safe for newly seeded turf when directions are followed. It prevents dandelion and crabgrass for up to six weeks and includes activity against other common lawn weeds.

• Pre-emergent action targets weed seedlings at germination, not established plants
• Safe on specified grass types when applied at recommended temperatures (60°F–90°F)
• Does not contain grass seed and will not kill existing mature weeds

When and how should I apply Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action Built For Seeding?

Apply to a dry lawn when soil temperatures and air temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 90°F for best performance. After spreading, lightly water the area to activate the formula and encourage even distribution into the upper soil layer.

• Use only on newly seeded, overseeded, or newly planted grass types listed on the label
• Apply with a Scotts spreader (broadcast/rotary setting 4½; drop setting 7; Wizz setting 4¾)
• Water lightly after application to activate; avoid application in temperatures outside recommended range

What weeds and grass types does it cover?

The Triple Action product targets a list of common lawn weeds that interfere with establishing new turf. It specifically prevents dandelion and crabgrass and helps suppress clover, ground ivy, chickweed, henbit, and nutsedge at the seedling stage.

• Weed control includes dandelion, crabgrass, clover, chickweed, henbit, ground ivy, and nutsedge (prevention of new weeds)
• Intended for Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Centipedegrass, and Fine Fescues
• One 17.2 lb. bag covers approximately 4,000 sq. ft.

How does this product help young grass get established faster?

In addition to weed prevention, the formula supplies nutrients designed to jump-start growth so seedlings develop thicker, more resilient turf more quickly. The balanced feeding supports early root and shoot development that improves establishment under typical lawn conditions.

• Contains fertilizer components to feed young grass during early growth stages
• Helps seedlings establish more quickly by promoting root and shoot development
• Also helps new grass resist stressors like heat and drought during establishment

Who is this for: Homeowners and landscapers installing new grass or overseeding existing lawns who want combined weed-prevention and starter fertilizer in a single product. It’s intended for people working with the listed grass types who will apply with a spreader and follow temperature and watering guidelines. This product is not a seed—use it alongside your chosen grass seed and avoid use on grass types not listed on the label or on lawns with established weeds you intend to remove first.
