We love this product! This product has worked well for us every single year. Our dog ruined our grass through the winters in the past and now and this product grows amazing grass back quickly. The condition of the bag and the product, as always, was nice and unopened. No scratches in the packaging etc. it looked like even the vendor took care of where they had it placed in their warehouse. The instructions on the bag are very clear and are on the bag. Easy to read. A huge pro is that there really is no odor to it so it’s easy to work with for long periods of time if you are scent sensitive. We see rooting pretty quickly and it’s nice and plush you start to see root within a couple of days. . It is the typical seed color of gray. The seeds are nice and unopened.

Great product! But it does not work very well in a shady area! Great grass is sunny spots!

We moved recently, and the house we moved into had a lawn that needed some work. A portion of the berm and the front yard was dirt, populated by crab grass and clover, and some spots I would mow over would produce big dust clouds. Not enough bald patches to justify getting sod (in my opinion), but too much where simply seeding would likely attract birds and/or create more work (putting down hay, netting, etc.). Like many of you, I work full time, have a family, and simply don't have the time to do all of that and, given weather patterns, can't rely on the weekend to take care of it. I have better things to do. Looking at the product description, it has a mix of Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and rye, a great mix of both fast growing and hardy seeds perfect for Zone 6 regions, and also contains fertilizer and recycled mulch. I started filling in patchy spots in April (it is July as I write this), but rather than doing every spot that needed to be filled in, I decided to work in sections. Given how the temperatures have been fluctuating so much (NASA actually just reported that June 2023 was the hottest June on record) and I wasn't certain how much rain we would be getting, I didn't want to do a huge section and waste gallons of water on it to get it to germinate, only to have it expire from the heat (despite what the following may suggest, I almost never water the grass. I have no problem letting it go dormant in the summer heat. The key to it surviving/thriving is not to cut it too short. Do that and save yourself some money). Anyway, this is what I did: 1. Beginning in the morning and using a hand cultivator, I loosened the soil where I wanted to plant, removing any weeds and crabgrass that might compete for the fertilizer and water, going about 1-2" deep. 2. Using a trowel, I scooped the mix in every area I prepped. 3. Using the hand cultivator turned upside down, I gently went over the top where I put the patch mix to encourage the seeds, mulch, and fertilizer to go into the soil and spread out. 4. I gave it a heavy dose of water ("shower" setting on the nozzle) to completely soak the the area for about 15-30 seconds. 5. I did this again in the early evening, watering twice a day for a week (unless we had rain). 6. As advertised, the seeds germinated in a week, after which I watered once a day in the morning until the grass matured and could survive without it (about 2 weeks after germinating) and I could give it a haircut. On cooler days I would skip a day. Seeing the results, I'm certain I could have seeded every large area at once and been done by now (I'm still doing areas, I don't begin a new area until the other area I've done is mature enough to not need so much attention. I'm only doing about 1-2sqft at a time, but I'm not in a rush and would rather make sure everything is done right. The grasses I seeded in April look healthy, strong, and have been mowed/mulched several times, without any ill effects (I currently have the mower deck at 2-3/4"). The small patches in the grass itself that I've done are completely indistinguishable from the rest of the lawn. This is a great product and works exactly as advertised. At $20-$26/10lb. bag, it's a decent price and I would recommend it.

Have used product in past but with no rain for few weeks it's not as fast growing as before.

This worked so well. I had a large patch that had no grass after removing a pool and this patch filled in in about 2 weeks. I have a few small spots with no grass but I’ll probably order another bag to fill them in.

I was hopeful that this mixture of seed and fertilizer would do the trip. Watering is controlled with irrigation. Only spotty amounts of grass grew.

The seeds came up and looks nice and green. I was filling in some bare places where I removed rocks and bushes.

Love this seed _ comes in its own medium - no having to lightly cover with dirt and is growing in a shady patch where heretofore would never take hold. It’s going to be lush and green. Highly recommend.
