I took over care of my neighbor's bermudagrass lawn here in hot northern Louisiana which had no fert applied to it in 4 years and it was overtaken with weeds and bare spots. I put down two full applications of Scotts Triple Action in 2 months and carefully followed the instructions for mowing before, wet lawn, and watering it in. His sorry lawn now looks as good as mine from a distance after 3 months. I have an expensive irrigation system and he has a cheap DIY as well. Up close he still has low-lying weeds (spurge and creeping charlie) that are hard to kill so I will have to spot spray those eventually with a weed killer I assume. I am impressed with the Triple Action and still have not put down the Ultra. Note: I don't cut grass nearly as short as most people in this hot weather zone and I wager that is a success factor for bringing a lawn back from the dead.
First time using turf builder. Had alot of crabgrass last year so I put turf builder triple action 3 weeks ago & will use ultra feed in 5 weeks! Glad it worked for you. Hoping the same for me!
This stuff is the best stuff for a darker green lawn. You won't regret putting this on your lawn. Yes it's true it will make your lawn a dark green. I hope this helps.
