Impressive In Spite of the “Shade”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Impressive product overall. Our yard is large hilly, shady, very shady in spots and we have hard time getting grass to grow in certain spots. With us living in the rainiest county in our state it's exceptionally difficult to get grass seed that can stand up to the downpours and still sprout and take root. My husband and I were cautiously optimistic about Scott's Turf Builder Seed( for sunny or shady areas ) and it's prospects for our yard. So I applied the seed using my spreader per the directions on the package and hoped for the best. A few days later we got a massive downpour and I was certain it had washed away every seed and any chance of building up our lawn and covering the bare spots. Imagine my surprise when we went out the day after the rain and the see was still there and hanging tough. Now fast forward a few weeks and we have new grass growing in the bare spots and thicker grass where it usually is choked out by the shadiness we have to contend with. Scott's does it again! Our lawn is healthier, we are happier and our kiddo is loving playing outside and literally watching the new grass grow! I highly recommend this mix of you have had issues in the past with shadiness being a problem in getting your lawn filled out in the shady spots. We did and we don't regret it at all.

Scott's Sun and Shade Grass Seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Grass is just now starting to sprout! There appears to be a high rate of germination! We are very pleased with current results! Shade is nonexistent due to leaves not being on trees yet! Delay in presenting a review due to weather!

Your Yard will be the envy of the neighborhood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix has a combination of grass seed, fertilizer, and soil improver that helps to establish deep roots and allows your lawn to grow thick and lush. I used my spreader with this to distribute the seed evenly across the baren patches of grass in my yard and it is coming in beautifully I water twice a day and will continue to do so for a few weeks. This is simple to use, works fast, and is very effective. I highly recommend this grass seed for anyone who is looking for a green plush lawn! .

Scotts is always a brand I trust for my yard needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix 5.6LB. This product worked for me. I have dead spots and some places with no grass. After applying this seed I actually have grass in those areas again. Very happy with the end results. My lawn looks fantastic. Definitely recommend.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I use this during spring and my lawn really shows it. It smells pretty good too. Product was easy to use and apply. Works great on killing weeds and making the lawn look fantastic. Highly recommend.

Great in the shade but not so much in the sun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My yard is a mix of sun and shade. It had developed bare spots so I thought this product would be the perfect solution. I followed the instructions on the package and while it grew well in the shady areas I had to redo the seeding three times in the patches in the sun. I was careful to water the seed as directed but it simply did not perform well in the heat.

Bright green and full lawn starts in about a month

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Sun & Shade is the only product we will use to regrow and start new lawns. Our yard is in a bowl where some half the yard is constantly in shade while the other half is in full, hot sun so the perfect mix of fesque and rye grass work very well in our High Sierra desert dirt. The seeds need a light dirt cover and at a regular 3 time a day for the first 2 weeks watering schedule of 15 to 20 minutes was more than enough to grow bright green and dense lawn. Extremely happy with our Sun and Shade Grass seed.

Waste of time and money!

I tilled our lawn and removed the old grass, then spread premium top soil before spreading the seed. It has been getting watered twice a day for the last SEVEN WEEKS! What do I have to show for the expense and effort? Nothing but a few random clumps of grass! I will never purchase another Scott's product! What a scam!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix and appreciate your feedback. For best results, this product should be applied when daytime temperatures are consistently above 65℉, making the soil temperatures at least 55℉. In the spring, it takes a lot of consistent warm temperatures to warm up the soil. Cool nighttime temperatures can delay the germination process even if warm enough during the day. Germination should begin in 6-14 days under ideal growing conditions and will take about a month to fully germinate. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. Weed control product used on sew seedlings will kill seedlings. Do not apply a weed control that is registered for lawn use until it has been cut at least 3-4 times. 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.

Great grass seed!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is some great grass seed!! We put it out a little over a week ago and it's already sprouting. The sun and shade mix is superb because it will grow anywhere…even without a lot of light. If you need to get new grass seed, you can't go wrong with this Scotts sun and shade mix.
