    Works well

    This seems to work. I spread it a lot heavier because there was only a small area o was concerned with.

    Easy to apply

    Not sure it did much of anything. It may be helpful but it isn't inexpensive to buy and doesn't spread very far. Not sure I would buy any more.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with (edit - insert product name) and appreciate your feedback.

    I am sorry that you did not get the results that you expected from our Scotts Soil Build'R. This product does not contain any fertilizer, therefore you would not see an immediate improvement in the area that it was used. Scotts Soil Build'R will reduce the compaction of the soil, resulting in better nutrient and water retention, which will cause an improvement in the soil over time.

    We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-436-7645 if we can further assist. Scotts

    Been using for two years now and my lawn is thick, lush and a dark green. Easy application with my hand spreader. Way better than a shovel and wheelbarrow.

    Great technology, I mean spread a small bag of this stuff versus many bags of topsoil All I can say is my grass is so green, all my neighbours came over to ask what I had done. Scott’s turf builder and Scott’s soil builder, I sent my neighbours to aisle 64 of our local Canadian Tire and now they are all happy

    Questions

    1 - 5 of 5 Questions

    Q: Hi, I have applied fertilizer. Do I have to wait to try using this top dressing product due to having used fertilizer or can this be applied anyway? Also, can seed be spread on top of this product? Thanks

    A: The good thing about this product is that it helps to hold the seed in place, and it hides the seed from the birds. I put down seed first, and then cover with this product. Voila!! No seed loss to rainfall or birds.

    Q: Is it true that there is no need to use fertilizer and topsoil if I use it both in the spring and fall. It sounds like a good replacement. No danger of fertilizer burning the grass and hurting the back handling with the heavy topsoil
