3rd time is a charm

This is the third time I am trying EZ Seed on a remote shady area in our generally thick lush lawn. The previous 2 times throughout this growing season, I have had limited success in this sparse area and moderate success in small bare spots or last winter's snow mold spots in the Spring. Generally I have more confidence in Scott's Patchmaster products that I have used for over 10 years, and have yet to gain confidence in EZ Seed. With the consistent rain we have had the last 4 days and more predicted I am hoping EZ seed performs this time. I raked in Scott's Soil for seeding, starter fertilizer and so looking for sprigs any day now.

Easy to use and store and it works❗️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a few spots in the yard that were burned out with dog urine. I have tried for two years to get grass to grow even putting black dirt in the holes. The fertilizer built into this product and the spring rains have quickly filled in my bare spots.

Waste of money

We completely wasted $80 by spending more money and going wtih the "big name" in yard care to make sure our grass looked nice. Followed the directions on the bag to the tee, watered everyday, had the area properly prepared, and the bare spots on the ground look the same today, as they did on April 19 when I seeded. An absolute complete waste, and I will never pay the premium for a Scotts product again. Scotts should put more money into the R&D of their product and not so much into their marketing. Now today I get to spend more time and money putting down top soil and traditional seed, which in hindsight I should of done from the beginning. Don't waste your time or money on this "magic" product, it doesn't workk as advertised.

We are sorry for the disappointment you have experienced with the results of your recent seeding effort. I'd like to offer a few tips that may be helpful to you in future seeding endeavors. As with any seed product, Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade requires both continuous moisture and warm soil temperatures. When one of these conditions is missing, poor germination is the result. Be sure to spread the EZ Seed Sun & Shade evenly over the prepared area. EZ Seed Sun & Shade should be sparsely applied to the depth of about 1/16" to 1/8" thick. If EZ Seed Sun & Shade has been applied too thickly, germination will be poor. Also, make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used where you are seeding, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination of the seed. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. I hope these extra tips are helpful. 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.

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and the shaker feature spreads the product nicely. Germination rate was satisfactory. I have two dogs that target the same location all winter long, this is a great solution for spring seeding.

Quick fast grass but didn't regrow in next season

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you follow the same instructions of watering with regular scotts seeds you will get same results. However I did find that the new grass had poor root quality and did not grow back in the next season. I started the process over with traditional seed and no additional top soil just raking in existing soil. Followed same watering instructions and grass looks great for 2 seasons so far

We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts EZ Seed Sun & Shade. Unfortunately, I cannot be certain why your grass has died after growing well at first. 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. 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.

Repaired all the bare spot under our trees

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Sun and Shade is the only product that gave us the results we needed to grow grass under all the trees around the perimeter of our property. The instructions were easy to follow and withing a few weeks all the bare spots were gone. I would recommend this Scott product to anyone who has bare spots due to shade.

No Luck First Time Around, but 2nd Times a Charm

We had actually just sent in for a refund after using a very large amount of EZ Seed on one side of our lawn. For whatever reason, we did not have much luck. We followed all the directions, had a good amount of sun and average spring temperatures. It didn't really grow, and what did, was splotchy and scattered despite using a large amount. I'm happy to report that we bought some more, while awaiting a refund to put towards the new amount, and used it on another area of our lawn. After two weeks, we are seeing some growth coming in and it's doing well. I'm waiting to see if it makes it farther than the other seed, but so far I am seeing a difference. We think we might have actually just had a "bad batch" - definitely worth trying this brand. I did another area with Pennington, and did not have same results.

We are sorry to hear the first attempt at seeding with EZ Seed did not work out well, but delighted to hear the second attempt was more successful. We've sometimes found that consumers who use large amounts of EZ Seed have delayed or patchy results. It is important to spread this product thinly and evenly over the area.

Garbage

I tried to use this product to fill in where my garden used to be. After adding a truck full of top soil and tilling/leveling I put down two bags of EZ seed which according to the bag was plenty. I watered every morning until dark brown as stated in the instructions and after 14 days nothing. I’ve been a landscaper for several years and normally only use Lesco products, I figured I would give this a shot since it was my home and I wanted it to grow quickly. What a mistake, now I have to do it all over again.

Hi, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts EZ Seed Tall Fescue and appreciate your feedback. We recommend for temperatures to be consistently in the 65+°F range for cool season grasses. Cool night-time temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times per day to keep the seeds moist, until seed germinates. Then, we recommend watering about 1-1 1/2" per week as needed. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.
