Disappointed

I bought a bag of this and it did not work at all. Nothing grew. I worked the soil after my lawn was cut but the grass seed down raked and watered the grass. Nothing grew. Very disappointed. I will figure something out for next year.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix with Root-Building Nutrition and appreciate your feedback. Depending on conditions and the seed type, the grass can take from 6 to 14 days to start to germinate. Germination requires air temperatures consistently above 65 degrees F. Cool nighttime temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. Cold weather will delay germination but will not hurt the seed. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. If a weed control is used around the time of seeding, it will either prevent the seeds from germination outright or destroy the seedlings as they emerge. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Did not grow

I bought this a month ago (20#) and reseeded after spreading fresh loam and Scotts starter fertilizer. Only about 1/3 of the seed grew. Very disappointed. Will not purchase again.

High maintenance, costly, fragile, disappointing

This grass requires frequent watering even to stay alive. When grass sprouts, it is tender and fragile, even into its second year. I have reseeded resulting bald spots several times. This product is a solid C- on an A to F scale. Illinois

impressed with the results...

I put down a loose stone path and planted this seed between the stones. it grew strong and thick. Now this being Austin, Texas, I'm curious to see how it stands up to the summer heat and if it revives in the fall. but so far, it looks really good.

Will never buy again!

Bought this and it has been over two weeks and I have hardly any grass starting to grow. I prepped the soil and put it down and hardly anything has grown. Will not buy this product again!!

We are sorry to hear that your Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix did not germinate as expected. This seed mix is a combination of bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue. While the ryegrass and fescue should germinate in 2 weeks, it could take 28 days for the bluegrass to come up. We want you to be aware that we do back our product with a product guarantee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to speak further about this. You can reach us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Good directions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a area that I couldn't seem to get any grass to grow. I tried this grass seed mix and it turned out great. Not hard to use and great results.

Made lots of grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really happy with these grass seeds. I applied generously to areas that were having a difficulty producing anything and in a couple weeks I has lots of grass. The grass looks really green and healthy.

Ok but not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a new fence installed and used the Sun and Shade mix to fill in the areas the grass was taken up. Soil was loose from the install and we watered daily. About 40% of the seeds sprouted, the grass that sprouted was good quality.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix and appreciate your feedback. If temperatures have been lower than necessary for seed germination, give it more time. The seed is still good and will most likely germinate once temperatures warm up. In the spring it takes a lot of consistent warm temperatures to warm up the soil, especially in the northern states. The warmer the soil, the faster the germination. This generally requires daytime temperatures consistently in the 65+ degrees range. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Green is the Color...IYKYK

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just recently planted the Sun & Shade mix and everything looks good so far, hence the 4 stars and not five. I rarely give 5 stars in the first season. Anyone who knows when it comes to quality garden products that enhance your life and well being there is no need to look further than Scotts.
