Ratings & Reviews for Scotts Turf Builder 1.5 Cubic feet Grass and sod Lawn soil
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this lawn soil for dramatically accelerating grass growth and repairing bare spots, with many reporting visible sprouting within days and thicker lawns. Most find it easy to spread and effective for overseeding and lawn recovery. However, a notable group consistently complains about excessive wood chips, mulch, twigs, and debris—including plastic wrappers, metal bolts, and stones—which raises quality concerns. Despite these inconsistencies, most customers consider the results worthwhile and plan to repurchase, though some report complete failure and feel misled by product labeling.

Would Not RecommendI have bought this product in prior years and some tolerable shredded plastic was always noted in the soil. However, the bags I bought this year (about 12) had an almost spiteful level of shredded bags in them--bag after bag after bag with handfuls of shredded plastic. Last time I will be using this product
Help root to grow and grass get thicker.

Sod Busted
Would Not RecommendThe turf builder was fine. The sod was half dead, but I didn't realize it until it was 75% dead withing a week after installing it. I went to Sod Lot on 441 and found truly green, full bladed squares of sod! My recommendation to Lowe's... don't sell it if it's more than 30% dead.

Loaded with junk
Would Not Recommendyes, there‘s soil in this bag… but there‘s also a TON of junk that you DO NOT want in your lawn. Steer clear.
Lawn soil
Would RecommendHad more wood chips than I thought. Topper lawn soil also from Lowes looked better and had better reviews. Liked both.

Crop of Weeds
Would Not RecommendI bought 10 bags of this at Lowes in Lexington, Va. along with 2 containers of Scotts Easy Seed. I ended up with a huge crop of weeds and almost no grass. I am amazed that Scotts would sell such a product because I have bought many of their other products with good results.
