What Customers Are Saying
The Scotts 4-step lawn care program received mixed reviews. Many customers reported positive results, with lawns becoming healthier and greener with no weeds. However, the Step 2 product was widely criticized for causing significant lawn damage, including brown spots, stripes, and in some cases, complete lawn destruction. Customers noted the product was in a fine powder form rather than the expected granular form, leading to uneven coverage and concentrated areas of damage. The weed control aspect of Step 2 was also reported as ineffective by some users.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts 4-step system for fertilization just shows why they are #1 in the market. They are easy to apply and don’t require a great deal of knowledge as to what you are applying it on. Follow the rules on the bag and you’ll end up with a beautiful lawn

Coverage Not Even Close
This is the 4th Scotts product Ive used in the last several months and this one, 5000sqft bag of Step 2, along with the same size step 1 and a 1000sqft bag of starter fertiizer doesnt come cose to covering what the bag says it shoud. After the step 1 didn't cover I checked my spearder cal and its spot on. The only product that came close to coverage was a 4000sqft bag of Scotts Turf Buider Thick R Lawn 3 in 1 mix. So its not the spreader. The 2 5000sqft bags barley did 2500sqft each and the 10...

No Weeds here!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After reading the instructions and following them to the "T" I saw great improvement in the looks of my front and side yards. No dandelions, no other weeds popping up in either yard. I am impressed about how quickly it worked for my yards, the force is strong with this product..

Very good results.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried this product last summer. Going into fall we had a much greener lawn and a lot fewer weeds. We already have more and just waiting for spring coming up soon to try this product again earlier in the season to get a good jump start.

good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well but gets expensive for me since I have to cover 30,000 sf and the bag only does 4 or 5k.. For a small yard this would be great. After using this I did not have much problem with weeds and the grass greened up nicely.

i put it out and watched it for awhile.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i watched it for a couple of months. it did great. it killed the weeds and helped the grass. i put it out when i knew it was going to rain. i figured the rain water would be better for it. i will use this again.

Multiporpose Product does the Job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product for review and used it on a weedy back lawn That needed some TLC. In addition to doing as expected to green it up, it took care of the weeds. It is easy to apply using a Scott's spreader. Solid product such as these are easier to use than liquids.

Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the steps of this program worked just like they should. using these products at the appropriate time and the right amount is a must. I like to lay mine on a little heavy but be carefully not to use too much.

weed's be gone
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product as all of Scott's products is easy to use. Our yard looked great the first half of summer. Plush no weeds & healthy. I don't think anything can help the last part of dry summer months. No rain for over a month hurts our lawn

Did the trick in this crazy weather
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With scorching hot temperatures and LOTS of rain this summer, I added the Step 2 to my lawn between bouts of rain and heat. Despite the crazy weather, my lawn has never looked better. Step 2 fed the grass roots while killing the weeds resulting in an outstanding looking lawn in less-than-ideal conditions!

Great Weed Control
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I buy this every year for my second step in my lawn maintenance. It keeps control of the weeds and feeds the grass at the same time. With a little water, my lawn stays green and weed free all summer long!

Worked well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this product and it has certainly helped with my weed issue. My lawn looks healthy and weeds are few. This is be best that my yard has looked in the past few years. I had a continuous problem with crabgrass and this has made a noticeable difference.

Good fertilizer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had several weeds so just used step 2 later in the season even though I used it in the spring. Lawn greened right up. However there still are a few dandelions and thistles. Easy to apply and I usually use Scotts fertilizer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put this on mid summer ... lawn is still looking great ! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone trying to get rid of weeds or maintain weed free lawn ... easy to use directions are basic

Works pretty well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to wait a little while than normal to apply this because it was so hot I didnt want to damage my yard. It seems to be killing out the weeds and it giving my yard the extra boost it needs in the late summer.

I love Scotts products
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my experience, Scotts has always has quality products and if applied correctly, gets the job done. I will definitely continue to use their products. My lawn is green and healthy and looks the best it ever has!

Weeds and less weeds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the 4 step program this year and I am very glad I did. I have received lots of comments how my yard looks like a good course. My yard is looking great thanks to Scotts products. The grass is a dark green and very thick.

Expected More
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was disappointed in this product, Scotts Step2 Weed control Plus Lawn Food 2. Although it did green up my lawn ., it did not take care of the weeds. I have a large number of various weeds and was hoping this would tackle them. The problem could have been that this product was sent to me in the i Summer and it clearly says to apply in late Spring.. It did cover the area stated , 5,000 sq. ft. and it was easy to apply.

We apologize for your encounter regarding Scotts Step 2 Weed Control Plus Lawn Food. For best results, the temperatures should be between 65 and 85°F....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I developed a terrible weed problems in my lawn this summer and was very excited when received this product. I wish that I co use tell you that this product alleviated my problem,but unfortunately t hat is not the answer.Although Step 2 ameliorated some of my problem I still have an inordinate amount of weeds. I believe that my weed problem is something that I am going to have to take care of in the spring with Scott’s Step One with Halts. I mu...

Like a 2 for 1 for your lawn!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2 benefits in 1 product, perfect! Loaded it in my Scotts spreader, adjusted the output, and started applying to the lawn. I have a smaller yard so was able to treat front and back yards. Will certainly keep this handy when it's time to re-treat. Really did a nice job greening up the grass and keeping the weeds at bay.
