I have a large backyard that is perfect for entertaining but the ground stayed bare because it was surrounded with huge shade trees. After trying endless types of seeds this one finally stuck and I now have a full carpet looking lawn under a nice shade. The grass stays full and colorful and I am no longer embarrassed at the thought of setting my lawn chairs under the shade of the trees

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the process of getting my house ready to sell this past summer and Oregon had gone though a major long dry spell. The grass looked awful, dandelions had popped up aggressively and some other weird wild weeds from the green space behind our home and the neighbors house was filling in quickly. Even Moss was taking over the grass in areas of shade. I took the weekend; hand weeded what I could see, used Scotts Moss control for the Moss and Scotts weed & feed for the weeds still developing that I couldn't see. Then I raked the heck out of it to get all the dry grass, moss and bare patches exposed. I watered it completely and then used the Scotts Turf Builder Grass seed for Sun and shade. It worked and it worked quickly - I followed the package and watered every morning until it was established. I kept the birds away from the seed with a plastic owl but I didn't have to do anything else except mow when it was time. I was very pleased with the result and the people who viewed our home really liked the lawn. I was happy I didn't have to baby the lawn and I could focus on other things to get the house ready. It was picture perfect and we Sold quickly. My Realtor said that the family commented that they wouldn't even have to work on the yard and would just get to set up their outdoor furniture and BBQ right away to begin enjoying it. Perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] as a first time user of Scotts products, i found this product easy to use and maintain. the directions on the bag along with the helpful smartphone application make it easy to understand when to apply the product and when it needs water. after a few weeks i noticed that the grass was greener and the spots where there was no grass was covered.

Put this seed down with some new topsoil on bare patches in my lawn. I have been watering it for 2 weeks, usually twice per day, and NOTHING grew. I have called customer service, and yes they will refund your money if you mail in your receipt. ( and no, I have never used any herbicide on the lawn ) What really annoys me is the wasted time and wasted water - that is certainly worth way more than the bag of seed. Reading the reviews here it looks like a common problem. I think Scotts have some serious quality control issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to grow grass in a lot of places: a very large area where my 24 foot round pool was & it grew in fantastic! Also between the sidewalk & the street where everyone else on my street had a problem growing their grass & I didn't!! I told them it was because I used Scotts... I had a dog & used it in many other places in my yard as I have 6500 square feet of just grass.. I am a huge promoter of all your products... I use the Halts crabgrass treatment, weed & feed turf builder 2, summer guard, fall guard & winter guard... I get a lot of compliments on my green grass!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a golf course superintendent, I'm always looking for the best products for my golf course. I do the same when it comes to my home lawn. SCOTTS Turfbuilder grass seed fits the bill!!! Germination is quick and it provides a nice lush lawn in sun and shade. My wife says it's as nice as my golf course. I'd highly recommend SCOTTS Turbuilder Grass seed. It's the best!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to use this product from Scott's. I had 3 properties to fix up and sell. Each one had a sad looking lawn in need of repair. One was sunny in back & shady in front, one was all sunny, and the 3rd house had dense shade with 2 huge mature trees in front and a small sunny/shade mix in the back yard. I bought Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix for each of these places. I also use it in my own yard and I don't have to worry about where the seed lands. It just knows what to do and fills in where needed.

I used Scotts grass seed on a section of my lawn that never performed very well. The Scotts product was easy to use. Within a couple weeks the grass was growing and is now thicker than the rest of my lawn! Very pleased and will use it again in other areas!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this product because I had to redo the entire lawn from scratch because of the oil tank removal. The area that I wanted covered with grass is sunny and shady. This was perfect for the area. I spread it out evenly and a lot of the seeds were either eaten by birds or just simply washed away by the rain (slightly slopped area to cover). The second time I spread the seeds around to fill in areas that didn't take. The grass grew in beautifully. I will definitely spread a little more seeds down in the spring time to get all of the areas filled with grass. The product is very pricey.

I've used Scotts products for years and this is no doubt the worst performing seed I've ever experienced. First the gemination rate was approximately 30%. After a few months I tried reseeding the bare spots, but got zero germination. The following year all I have is a yard full of grass clumps. It does not spread at all. Granted, what little grass I did have in the spring was nice and blue, now during the summer it's a nice shade of brown. VERY disappointed with this product.
