Amazing product
We bought this after aerating, with over seeding a problematic area in our back yard. Our yard is now full and lush. We had to increase the lawn mower height by 1 1/2 inches. The color is phenomenal! We've been using the 4 step program for over 10 years and our front lawn was loved by all. We always recommended the 4 part program. However, when Scots came out with the number 1 for “seeding” we were skeptical, but it works well. We highly recommend this fertilizer.

Scott's dedicated
We were dedicated on fixing our lawn this year. It was uneven, had patches from our dogs and weeds along the edges. After resoiling and then reseeding we purchased Scott's turf builder starter food for new grass plus weed preventer, all in one product! We looked at all our options and most you had to kill off weeds, plant grass and wait until it reaches a certain gestation then weed kill. This product skipped months of waiting which we would have had to do and it worked great. Our lawn is looking better than it has in years.
