I followed full instructions on a freshly tilled yard with daily watering . Previous Gras has behin growing back over 3 inches and seeded areas still bare with no indications of new growth and were on Day 14! Very dissatisfied after using 2 20lb bags total waste of money and time!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased two bags of Pennington smart sun and shade grass seed for my cash back challenge on influenster for a area where we took a large tree out of our yard! I chose the sun and shade mix due to this area be part sun and part shade. this was my first experience with the Pennington brand and I am giving it 4 stars because I still have a lot of bare spots where I put all the seed and I coated the ground really well. I also made sure I raked the ground so there was grooves about 1/4 deep per the instructions on the bag. What I do like about the smart seed is the fertilizer added to the bag and also the coating to deter the birds from thinking I put a feast of seeds for then to eat. I also like the smart seed takes less water so it is easier to keep the area watered! I feel the price for this seed is about the same as other brands that offer the smart seed and fertilizer in the bag. I will purchase one more bag to work on the bare spots if the grass doesn't finish filling in from all the seeds still out on the ground.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to use and effective! I used this grass seed to fix up some patchy areas on my lawn. I just sprinkled it and it seems to be working! it is not a replacement for a professional lawn service, but if you have a few patchy areas, this does the trick!

For 30 years I have had trouble keeping grass growing in our front yard. I've tried multiple grass seeds over the years just to be let down. After a lot of "review" reading and research on grass seeds for the North East in zone 6B and 7A I choose Pennington's Sun and Shade. Different sections of our lawn are in and out of the sun all day long. Pennington's Sun and Shade is a blend of Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue. Pictures 1 through 6 were taken on the same day, the Friday of Labor Day weekend 2024. Pictures 1 & 2 is what the lawn looked like after removing all the dead grass and before I started prepping. I started removing the dead grass in early August after every mowing. In total I probably raked out three wheelbarrow loads of dead grass over the course of August. Pictures 3 & 4 is a fresh rake of the yard to loosen up the dirt. I got lucky as there was a light rain early that morning so the soil was soft. Pictures 5 & 6 is how it looked after everything was completed. These are the steps I took. 1. Removed all dead grass and debris before hand. 2. Raked and loosened up the dirt. 3. Threw down fresh top soil on top of the loosened dirt. 4. Thew down starter fertilizer by hand. 5. Thew down grass seed. Seed is a blue/green so it's easy to see where you are placing it and how much. 6. Thew down peat moss over the whole yard. 7. Used the sprinkler system to wet everything down. 8. Set the sprinklers to come on for 10 minutes every morning at 5am and every night at 6pm. I saw seedlings within 5 days. Pictures 7 & 8 were taken yesterday afternoon 18 days after seeding. I ran out of seeds and thew down some Scotts EZ Seed in the back corner and it did not come up as nice or as full as the Pennington's. So far I'm very happy with the process. I'm praying that this grass will make strong roots and last through next summer. Only time will tell.

For some reason my grass began to die when temperature got in to high 90s ..my grass turned brown even watering it every other day..It was beautiful until it got hot..pretty green grass..it's planted since March and this is July. I don't know what's wrong..it says it is good in sun and shade..drought resistant..olive in East Texas ...I made sure I bought right grass for this area.

Planted. Turned white. Has not germinated. Plenty of rain, and I watered in between as needed. Not much sun so far. I am disappointed.

I support great products that bring me joy. And this one really works as advertised! Thanks J.ShaRod
