I tried this a couple years ago and didn't follow the directions very carefully. As you might expect it didn't work out so well. I got some on sale and put it down last fall and followed the directions exactly. It's now the best, fullest, greenest, hardiest grass on my lawn. It spreads to fill in around it...I wish it would spread over my entire lawn. It's expensive...but look for sales, buy it, and use it right...you won't regret it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on a patched area where a new sewer line was installed as it was later in spring and the area was run over after seeding by sewer contractor i only have mixed results more likely the problem then the Scott's seed. As you can see in the photos

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this is a wonderful product. It is so easy to use, you don’t have to figure out how much seed, how much fertilizer, how much mulch. The key to success is to make sure it is watered in and keep it watered .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply container and hold. For best results follow the easy instructions on the back. Grass comes up in the usual time for new grass. Keep watered and you will be rewarded with beautiful green grass.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Rottweiler. He has a tendency to hit certain spots on a regular basis. That means I have a tough repair job in terms of grass seed. Not too mention here in West Central Ohio it has been brutal in terms of what we are used to in terms of heat and sun with little rain. Two weeks after applying EZ Seed Patch and Repair I saw seedlings. 4 weeks later I saw more green than brown. I am now at 6 weeks and this stuff is kicking grass. I watered twice a day when I was able. Missed a few watering times, but this seed made up for my mistakes. I think it is great even under some tough conditions here. I was asked to review this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seed couldn't be easier to use and it really works. All you do is prep the area, throw it down, and water. It comes in lush and very quickly. I highly recommend this product to anyone that has a spot in their yard they want to quickly fix.

I ran out of my good grass seed. This was readily available. I will never use this product again. Not one single blade of grass from the entire container! The good quality seed right next to where this was used grew quickly and thick. Same sun, shade, water, dirt, etc. I have not been a fan of scotts brand for years, this has turned me against the products for good.

I bought a 40lb bag in May after tilling up about 900 sq feet and adding 3 yards on top soil in my backyard ruined by tree company hired to remove a tree. I also bought a small bag of their regular seed because the area i wanted to re seed was a small L and i though if the 40lb did not cover enough i would do L part with reg. seed. I started to apply as instructed, only to get about 500-550sq feet covered, and i didn't want to mix seed in middle, so i bought another 40lb bag. It took a little longer for seeds to grow then seeds i used in past. It started to come in good the only problem was that after 5 weeks grass was just about ready to be cut for first time. By week 7 i cut it once and now had crab grass starting to grow. And i had to wait at least 3-4 cuts before i was able to apply any control products. Before 3rd cut lawn was now covered in crab grass, I bought their weed and crab grass killer in spray bottle, After 4th cut i tried it on a few test spots and found that it killed the grass around the crab grass i sprayed. Ez seed grass turned yellow then was gone, so after 3 months i am left with nothing but a crab grass lawn. A week after i planted the ez seed i used another cheap brand on another spot in my yard, and had great results. I would never use ez seed again except to maybe do small bald spot, i think is best for that.

I had a lot of small patches (less than 6” diameter) and some bigger ones. This product worked pretty well on the smaller bare areas and less well on the bigger ones. One of the bigger patches came in nicely (after several applications), two other ones came in pretty poorly. Overall this is a much better product than PatchMaster. What I found is that I ended up applying EZ Seed a few times to the same area. This helped tremendously but as mentioned a couple of spots would not take no matter what I did. Overall the product is good for filling in smaller bare spots and not so good for say a 12” or bigger bare spots. Also, I suggest you apply this as early as possible to give the grass a chance to get stronger prior to winter.

I used a 40lb bag to reseed an area affected by bugs. Followed directions explicitly and got great results in an area that's difficult to grow. Although I planted later than usual (after Labor Day) grass is coming in well. I have used this product in the past and have some advice. Make sure that you thoroughly till the soil down to 2" for strong root growth. Keep lightly watering once a day after the grass is 2" high to allow other types of seeds in the mix to germinate. If you stop watering too soon some of the new grass will die back and other seeds will not germinate.
