Hope for Grass in Florida

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a tough time growing grass in my Florida yard. Between the excruciating sun and the vast amount of weeds, it's a never ending battle. I finally have some hope with Scott's Turf Builder. The application is incredibly simple and the product is much more durable than others I have tried.

Already seeing great results!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This starter food has been saving my patchy Florida grass. It's filling in well and the directions couldn't be easier to follow. Love that it can be used on any type of grass as my back and front yards are different types. Loving it so far!
