Expensive and kind of works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cannot use over too much area as it is really pricey, therefore best for just spot repair. Must keep the product wet, must water it more than once per day during sunny weather..make sure the product stays dark brown - it gets light brown when dry. Seeds are slow to germinate and grass does not come out as full as I would like.

Not sure why all the bad reviews

I used EZ Seed all around my new patio when it was put in three years ago. It took a week or two to see any growth. I used it in the summer and then after the winter and into the next summer it had grown in very full. To this day it is still very full and I have had no issues with any of it dying. I can't believe there are so many bad reviews because this product worked great for me! I would definitely recommend it

Does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been a cold wet spring and I've had to relay a lot of yard work, but now that it's warmed up and dried out I could finally begin yardwork. After prepping the area and seeding it in, it began showing sprouts pretty fast. Easy to.use product.

Nothing Green for Me

I tried this on several different occasions from late spring to early fall in multiple different small patches and literally saw little if any sprouts. I recently applied it (early September) to a patch that withered over the summer from heat and dry conditions. I used a rake to loosen the soil, spread the seed, worked it into the soil and it rained on it within 2 days and since has had enough occasional rain and cooler conditions (60-80F) for it to germinate. 2 weeks later, nothing. This was the last straw. (no pun intended). It proves to me that I at least received a faulty product even if no one else did. The "seed" seems to be placebo or inert.

We're sorry you haven't had success with the Scotts Turf Builder EZ Seed. It's important that the product be applied at 1/8th of an inch or less in thickness. If the application is thick the grass seed may sparsely germinate. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers.

So easy to use and immediate results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was simply amazed at the effectiveness and ease of use of this product. I had a few troubled spots in my yard both from my dog and also some areas that I have never been able to get grass to grow. This product is so easy to use. Your directions were very easy to follow and it was amazing to see the quick results. The grass came in very quick and it looks great. Now those areas look better then the rest of my yard. A great product!!!

Not a fan of scotts

Horrible product!

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.

Unbelievable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is reasonably price considering it virtually guarantees you grass! It is easy to use, just follow the directions and you will be amazed. It has never failed once for me. Much better than other products on the market.

This product was so, so.

Used this product a few years ago and had the same problem. Finally went to regular seeds out of a bag. Patched up a few spots with it this year and did what they said to do. Still waiting for signs of grass popping up and I have an irrigation system.....the rest of my lawn looks wonderful.

We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced when using the product. This particular product usually has a lot of success stories from users, but it is helpful when we get reviews like yours to help us produce quality product. For Cool Season grasses like Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and different types of Fescues soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate and can take between 4 -21 days to see germination. Warm season grasses like Bermudagrass, Centipede and Zoysia, which germinates in early summer, requires soil temperatures between 75 - 90 degrees (24 - 32 Celsius) and can take between 5-28 days to see visible germination. Watering also plays a defining factor in germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day until germination is visible and then watering 1- 1 ½” per week as needed. Both excessive watering and not enough watering can slow down or even stop germination of the product. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this issue has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received this, I already had the places I needed to patch and it was not only easy to use, but it fills in the open areas with new grass quickly. Having the seed and fertilizer all it one, there is no guessing, simple to use, and gives you great results.
