Tried 3 times - never worked

Sorry, but I got nothing out of this product. I followed the instructions exactly, and nothing ever came of it, even after multiple tries. I figured because this product is so expensive, I must have done something wrong. I only wish I would have saved the receipts so that I could have used the money-back guarantee.

Doesn't last

I've grown our lawn from this biannually for the past 3-4 years. I put down burlap during germination and it sprouts. If I don't, it doesn't. I can get it going for a few weeks. I put up barriers to keep people off, keep it moist until it's established, etc. It grows lush and thick under our tree, but it never lasts more than a season and it's a dust bowl again. In the sun, it sprouts in the spring and grows til about June when it withers and dies and it turns into a dustbowl again. The first time someone steps on it, it dies (Even after it is 4-5 inches long. I've literally seen footprint shaped spots where it's died from stepping on it once.) In the fall, when it's cool enough to plant again, I get it to sprout, but it dies as soon as the frost and snows hit and never fully establishes itself. If I overseed hoping it will sprout in the spring, nothing happens. It's a lot of effort to put in multiple times a year.

Great For patching up the Yard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some burn marks in yard which where an eye soar. this filled in perfect and cant see them anymore. Was easy to apply and watering was great as it held the moisture.The shaker top on the container was nice to control

Foolproof grass planting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked this up about a month ago to take care of a few bare spots in the lawn. Having two active children and a dog my lawn takes a beating. I like the fescue blend. Works well with my predominantly fescue lawn.

Product produces as advertised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second container of EZSeed Sun & Shade that I have used on my front yard. After winter, I just rake up the dead area or bald spot and shake in the prepared seed & water. I looked at the other brands but noticed a dramatic difference in the content. I'm a believer in Scotts products.

Good reliable product that's producing nice results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Scott's EZseed in an area that we just had an underground downspout installed so the soil was nice and loose as indicated in the directions. It's been a full 2 wks since applying and the new grass is about 1 inch tall now. The first week daytime temps were btwn 60 and 80, although nights were still cool. Watered everyday with a water can to keep moist. I was worried in the 2nd week as we had colder temps and continuous rain - sometimes hard rain - but the seedlings still sprouted and all looks promising. Just a side note; a portion of this area stays shaded but all seems to be growing evenly. So patch and repair really does grow in both sun and shade!

Worked Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used Scotts ezseed in a large shady area in my yard which had become rather barren. The results were outstanding. Raked the area a bit and sprinkled the grass seed. Watered the area thoroughly and continued daily watering for a couple more days. Grass seedlings began to surface within ten days and I now have green grass growing in this area. Very easy to apply with the shaker and no other effort or product required. Extremely pleased with my results.

Great if you want a patch of weeds.

I purchased this product along with Turf Builder 1.5 cu. ft. Lawn Soil to fill in a bare patch in my lawn. The grass began to grow in nicely and I was really very happy. I came out one morning to water the grass and the ENTIRE patch had been taken over by one type of weed. This weed isn't present anywhere else in my yard (or my neighbors' yards, I checked). I wanted to test and make sure that it really was the fault of these products so I used both the EZ Seed and the LawnSoil to grow a patch of grass in a container. The grass began to grow and then the entire container was taken over by the same weed. My lawn is far from perfect. You can see that by looking at the photo I've uploaded with this review. I have dandelions and thistle and a few other kinds of weeds as well. But this was supposed to be a step towards fixing the lawn and instead it just introduced another weed into the mix. In the photo you can see EXACTLY where the grass seed was planted because it's EXACTLY the same area as the patch of weeds. I planned on seeding the other area of bare soil in the photo at the same time as this patch but I'm glad I didn't waste my time. What a huge waste of money and all the time and effort I put into preparing the bare patch of my lawn for seeding. I have to start over from scratch and I won't be using ANY Scotts products this time around.

Excellent results with very little effort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Applied 10 days ago, seeing results already. I applied to bare spots on my tree lawn and back yard. The 3 steps listed on the labeling assured easy application and follow up watering. Once the weather remains at a constant 60 plus, I look forward to seeing the areas fully filled in.

EZ SPREADING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is excellent for a number of problem areas on a lawn - especially for a sloping area where there is water runoff. The seed is designed to "hold" onto the soil and germinate. I have had a lot of success with the product and it produced a nice, lush green lawn!
