New home; new lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We built a new home on farm land. So when our water line was dug, it was quite a distance from the road to the house. The area of dirt was about 6' x 30' area. I used Scotts Grass Seed Turf Builder for Sun & Shade. We didn't have a water faucet on the front of the house so I had to carry buckets of water around from the back. Needless to say, I was concerned that the seed wouldn't take because I couldn't water as much as I would have liked. After covering the area with straw to help keep the moisture on the seeded area, I waited to see how well the seed would work. It wasn't but about seven days that I noticed small green sprouts starting to rise. After watering and checking on the seeded area throughout the next several weeks, we had a beautiful patch of new grass. It has since grown in and you can't tell that it hadn't been there all along. I was very pleased with the Scotts product; it has lived up to its promise--"staying green even in extreme conditions of dense shade or scorching sun.

Great Value for your money

I bought a house with a yard where the previous owner had a tree removed but had not covered the bare spot with lawn. All I did was spread some Scott Grass Seed & spread some Lawn Food & before I knew it was covered with a good growth. I am no expert , never work in a yard with lawn but did manage good with it. Scott products are easy to manage. You just can't go wrong with it. I now don't trust or woulds even try any other substitutes. Would recommend it to any & every one. Mahesh Desai

Works in shade as well as the sun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product in the back area of my property where it's half sun and half shade the majority of the time and I'm so pleased seeing that it works equally well in both sun and shade. I'm loving the results from this product.

Don't let the negative reviews from people who cant read directions keep you from using a fantastic product

This is the second yard I have put in with Scotts sun and shade mix. I was hesitant to use this product after reading the reviews but trusted the results that I had in the past and planted about 7500 sf. Of lawn on our new home. I began by tilling and raking the entire area and installed automatic sprinklers. After the entire area was free of rock and debris I spread the seed at the recommended rate with a broadcast spreader. I have kept the area damp as directed and am happy to say that after only six days I am seeing small seedlings everywhere. I am more than pleased with the results and hope this will help some one who is as concerned as I was after reading reviews from people that cannot seem to follow directions.......still a fan of Scotts products after 12 years. Thanks for the soon to be great back yard.

Very disappointing; Did not grow grass at all; Not worth effort or cost!

I put the seed down with Scott's Edgeguard, using the recommended settings. Used the seed for all my bald spots in lawn which were cleared of debris and scored. Seed was sown in mid September w/ mild temps and watered. Not one single seed sprouted. A total waste of time, money and effort.

Great for patching bare spots.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for patching bare spots in my yard but tried to over seed an area with limited success. Patched several areas in my yard by scratching the surface with a rake and then spreading the grass seed. Need to keep areas moist for about a week. Grass grew very thick. I tried to over seed an area with a lot of weeds with very limited success. Watered area as I did with bare spots.. After several months I applied weed killer to the area but very little grass was growing. Had to redo several times to fill in area with grass.

This seed fixed the problem area!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have many trees that border our lawn and depending on the time of day and distance to the tree line, our lawn receives vastly different amounts of direct sunlight. Scott's Sun & Shade seed fixed these problem areas of our lawn and was great all over to thicken up the lawn. It came in uniformly (same thickness, same deep green color) in all the areas. The soil is a bit thinner near the tree line and this seed came in so well it is hard to tell if there even is a difference in soil depth now. Keep the seed moist until you can see that all the seed has germinated. I highly recommend this blend!

Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun and Shade Mix is the best product for the type of yard I have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun and Shade Mix is the perfect product for my beautiful lawn. My grandfather, parents, siblings and myself have been using this product for a life time. Following the Scotts guide to a beautiful lawn, Scotts Turf Builder GrassSeed Sun and Shade Mix helps keep my yard staying green even in the extreme heat of the summer. Scotts winterGuard and Scotts Lawn food also play a major role to further beautify my lawn. Scotts, the perfect product for a perfect lawn.

This product is easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Scott's Turf Builder in my yard in Central Florida, where there is an abundance of sunshine. It makes my grass tougher and able to withstand the hot summers in Florida. The grass in this region needs help due to the dry months and this product gives me a fuller grassy lawn and that extra boost to make my lawn green year round.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this seed with some top soil and kept moist and got germination within a week after 3 weeks it had mostly filled in the area that was once barren I recommend all the scotts grass seed products and have very good success with very minimal weed seed.
