Grass Grew In Some Areas

I put topsoil in many areas throughout my yard. I spread both seed and starter fertilizer down and only about half the areas has grass growing after two weeks. I followed the directions on the bag and didn't get the results that I expected. I watered the areas nightly. I guess I will wait until the Fall since it is had to get grass to grow in the hot summer months.

We apologize for this experience with our Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. We recommend watering morning and night until the seed germinates, as the seed needs to be kept moist. We are committed to making this right for you. Please contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca and refer to this review so we can further assist you.

Came in fast and full

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I lost a couple sections of my lawn during a harsh Wisconsin winter. I used Scotts Watersmart grass seed to restore these areas and am very happy with the results. I raked the soil, spread the seed and covered with spagnum moss. Kept the areas moist and this year I cannot see where the old part of my lawn ends and the new areas begin.

I was pleasantly surprised

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This past fall late in the season I used the Scotts seed for very shady areas. The bag was leftover from the previous year. I wasn't sure what the results would be but was pleasantly surprised that ti worked so well. I used some starter fertilizer with it. I'm hooked on Scott's

Product was wet inside bag and could not be spread

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product was wet inside bag and could not be spread. Could not use opportunity to spread at a good weather time and had to make a return trip to Home Depot. Now its raining and will have to waste more time

Perfect for our full shade area

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have areas of our backyard so shaded when it rains the tree cover keeps me dry, trying to grow grass there where the other owners gave up was a struggle until we found sun and shade mix! We mixed a little turf builder in too.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!

I wish I had read what other people wrote about this product. I had my law redone this spring and decided to buy my own seed thinking I would use a better product than the one offered by the landscaping service. What a mistake and waste of money! I bought Scotts sun and shade seed with no results. It is been 4 weeks and nothing spent hundreds of dollars on seed and water bills and nothing. This is the worst product I have ever used; now I have to do it all over.

We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also. One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass. 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. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Scott's grass seed was easy to use and we now have a great new lawn.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We spread Scott's grass seed over a freshly prepared area that gets a mixture of sun and shade. Two weeks later we have greatness lawn sprouting. The shady areas are doing just as well as the sunny portions. All we had to do was keep it moist.

Very poor results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blue "water saving" coating gives you less than half the coverage than the plain grass seed and I found that it does not germinate any better than plain seed, even after watering daily. I would much prefer the plain non-coated grass seed to this coated seed.

Always Grows

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott's seed always grows. It germinates quickly just water as directed. When it fills in it it lush green and thick great for over seeding. To make clean up easier I wear gloves otherwise you do get a bluish film on your hands washes off easily just my choice.
