After three weeks, none of the seed germinated.

Over three weeks ago I planted Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade grass seed mix. To this day, none has germinated. A neighbor who planted the same product had the same results. I will send an email to Customer Service requesting a refund.

reply from Scotts Consumer Service

We apologize that our grass seed did not provide the results you had expected. It's certainly frustrating to go through the effort to prepare an are for seeding only to have the seed not germinate. There are several reasons why this may happen. Watering too much or not enough, improper temperatures, inadequate soil contact, or using a weed control prematurely can all influence the germination rates of seed. If you haven't already, we ask that you contact us directly so that we can discuss our guarantee and the product in more detail.

The best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It grows everywhere. Couldn't ask for anything better. Actually makes me look good in front of my nabors.

Easy to use and gives good coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product provided good coverage applying and will help to restore bare areas in our yard. We have always enjoyed using Scotts lawn care products, and are excited to see how this will help improve the look of our lawn.

Exceeded expectations!

This product definitely exceeded my expectations, I did not expect to have such a nice thick lawn in such a short period of time. After 8 weeks I have a beautiful thick lawn that my children can enjoy playing on! Great product, definitely recommend!!

Looking forward to giving it a try

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excited to try this product. Have to wait for the calendar as it was shipped far before the suggested time to use it. Reviews of the product from other sources seem to suggest it should work well in my area.

Good Green Grass in Sun and Shade

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product grew very well for me and has survived a very inconsistent rain schedule, as I am not committed to watering my lawn once it is established. I am very pleased with the results. I took the time to prepare the soil according to directions and watered it until established.

Hard to beat Scotts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an area on the side of my driveway that I can't seem to get grass to grow so i used this. It has only been a couole of weeks but I can see tiny grass sprouts growing. I'm so excited to see my problem may be solved.

Ugh! Fustrated

I have used this product for years with excellent results. Well, until now! Purchased this product last spring and fall and again this spring. Don't know what has happened but germination has been 50% at best. That's 6-20lb bags with poor results. This spring a neighbor purchased this seed on my recommendation and had similar poor results. Must be a covid thing?

SO Sad

We had a very large tree fall in our yard and after only 12 hours or so, areas of the grass were patchy. Of course it got worse when the tree removers finished. We raked up the areas and put down Scotts (coated) Grass Seed for Sun & Shade and watered, watered watered. It's been two weeks and some of the grass seed has grown. AND so has crab grass and some other plant (green leaves with purplish stems). I have pulled about 100 of these unwanted plants and there are MANY more. :( Beside that, this seed is supposed to grow grass within two weeks and I still have SEVERAL bare spots.
