Did absoolutly nothing

We have seeded our lawn 4 times successfully in the last few years, repaired damage, patched bare spots and even fully re-seeded our entire lawn after rototilling it. I would say we are on an expert level by now. We decided to try this seed for damage spots due to kids. We paid almost 50 dollars for a large bag at our local Lowes, did everything right, according to instructions and scotts.com advice. After 4 wks of patiently waiting, keeping our kids out of the back yard, watching moisture level and just babying it we have nothing to show for. We spent hours raking, pulling weeds to prepare for this seed and still nothing. We have had better results using very cheap generic grass seed than this stuff. i really am disappointed i threw away the bag and receipt or i would be demanding a refund

This time of year can be tricky for seeding in the north. Although the temperatures during the day seem warm, at night it is often still quite chilly. This slows -- and sometimes stops -- the growth of grass. You may still get good results as the temperatures warm.

Go to Seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my Go To Seed. I have ripped up parts of my lawn changing landscapes and a broken waterline. I always come back to Scotts EZ Seed because there is so little to do. Pour it on and water it. That's my kind of finish work.

Not good for extreme conditions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a heavily sloped back yard with more moss than grass due to also being heavily wooded. I wanted to get more grass on the sloped areas to help with traction (moss can be very slippery). It grew in patches. I am not sure if it was the products quality, as I have always had good luck with Scott's products, or our extreme conditions. I am leaning towards our extreme conditions.

Excellent and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried this product in the past and have had good success. This Spring I got it out on the lawn in late March and it has started growing and becoming pretty thick in a hurry. The product is easy to spread and when watered, it does thicken and absorb the water to allow for excellent germination. Highly recommend it!

Easy Way to Fix Bare Spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My lawn really suffered from the past winter, and I had many bare spots in my lawn. I chose Scott's EZ Patch and Repair Sun and Shade because my lawn is mostly shaded and it is hard to grow grass. I saw that this product includes seed and a medium to help keep it moist and to prevent it from blowing away. I was careful to follow the directions to the letter. I loosened the dirt first and was careful not to apply too much product to one area. I was diligent about watering every day, sometimes twice a day for the first two weeks. 7 days after applying to all of the bare spots I saw no change but on day 10 little green grass sprouts began poking through the brown mixture containing the seeds. After 19 days, I would estimate that of all the bare spots where I applied this product, about 75% have sprouts now. I'm especially pleased that no weeds are sprouting too! I hope to see more new grass in the coming days.

It does not last!

I bought this a few months ago. I used it on a 6 x 10 ft area. After about 2 weeks it started to grow. Then after about 5 weeks the entire area was a full lush green lawn. Now here I am about 13 weeks later and it's all starting to die. I water my lawn pretty regularly. The rest of my lawn looks great. But this one 6 x 10 ft patch that I used this product on is all dying away and there is nothing I can do to prevent it. What a waste of money. And the seeds are not cheap.

We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Once they start growing, grass seedlings may succumb to environmental factors such as disease, insects, or extremes of temperature and moisture. This is not necessarily evidence of inferior grass seed, as even superior grass types are subject to natural stresses. Maintaining constant soil moisture is the most critical factor in the success of a new seeding, both before and after germination. Even though the seed germinated, the soil may have dried out for a short time after it was up and growing. 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 contact us to see what can be done.

Inconsistent Results

This was the 2nd year in a row I tried this product. I found it on sale at 1/2 off so I bought it again. It grew in one spot which was in a shaded area and did not grow in a sunny area. I will go back to using add'l seed along with the patchmaster (green) product.

We're sorry to hear you didn't get the results you expected. Try reseeding the sunny area in the fall when you have at least 30 days before your first hard frost. The grass most likely couldn't survive the harsh summer conditions. If you can get the seed established before next summer, you should see better results. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. Visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n for more information.

This product did not work as well as expected

I had to re-seed with this product several times before the grass began to grow. With all of the seed that was sowed the grass should be very thick but it is spotty. I believe in Scotts seed so I will try a different Scotts seed when I re-seed next month.

Fixed my lawn's bald spot!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a bare spot on my back lawn which I had been working on for the past few years. Nothing I tried seemed to work. Scott's EZ Seed did the trick. I followed the directions and soon saw new grass poking up where nothing had grown for a while.
