What Customers Are Saying
The product performs well in shaded conditions, growing lush, green grass even in areas with little sunlight. It germinates and grows quickly, with many customers seeing results within 2 weeks. The seed is easy to apply and provides good coverage. While a few had mixed results in extremely shaded areas, the majority of reviewers were satisfied with the product's effectiveness in growing grass in problem shaded spots.

GreenView has been my go‑to lawn care brand for the past decade, and it consistently outperforms anything I’ve tried from the big box stores. Their grass seed blends are clean, high‑quality, and establish quickly, even in tougher areas like partial shade. The Fairway Formula fertilizers deliver long‑lasting, even feeding that keeps the lawn thick and deep green without the surge‑and‑fade you get from cheaper products. While GreenView isn’t an organic line, the formulations are professional‑grade...

Crabgrass in the mix
After using this product, I've decided to go back to Scott's Sun and Shade. I had sowed seed from this product in my back yard this past spring, and I'm finding clumps of thick-bladed, dark green grass all over my back yard. It's killing all the fine-bladed grass and looks just awful. If you want a nice looking lawn, avoid this product.

Lots of Coverage in One Bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the features of this grass seed. The lack of filler gives me a lot more coverage. I was able to spread seeds to an area approximately 5 yards by 1 yard. It was nice that they had instructions on the back of the bag that are easy to read and follow. I was surprised that the birds and squirrels left it alone, at least every time I looked out the window. It got windy a few hours after I had sowed the seeds, and we have had several rain...

consistent results - works very well
Did entire backyard (1200 sq feet) in the fall. Followed the prep directions and added some topsoil to the backyard, used a scotts hand Whirlybird spreader to get consistent coverage, also used the 'seeding success' pellets , watered as specified and did about 1/3 section of yard at a time to see how it went. Worked fabulous - about 90 percent success. Note that the variety of grass is not like Kentucky blue - is is finer and so far looks like it will not be a tall growing mix but it has a nic...

Very good seed for shady areas.
The grass grows quickly when following the directions. I chose this specifically because my yard is primarily shady all day, and this is good for that. My local Lowes doesn't carry this seed in-stock so I happened to order/purchase this two different times (the second time as an overseed), and the only negative I will say is that for both orders, the product ultimately arrived a few days later than initially stated. If the delivery date initially promised was time-sensitive then it could hav...

Slow growing so far
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a tree down at the bottom of my driveway where I have had trouble with grass growing and in the winter plows tearing it up . I cleaned and raked the area, mixed in some compost to the soil, seeded it, and raked in some fresh top soil on top. I took a picture to track the progress. I watered regularly but didnt see much growth. It has been over 2 weeks and there is some new growth but not what I expected. I live in the northeast and re...

Works but slow growing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this Greenview Dense Shade grass seeds for the yard area under my trees that barely get any sun because the trees are close together and very shaded. After about half a month the grass started to grow a little bit but very slowly so not sure if it's waiting for warmer weather to really do its thing or my area is just way too shaded. The grass isn't as thick as well, so again it might be waiting for better weather and my timing isn't rig...

Great product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am happy with this dense shade mixture of grass seed. I am sure it’s going to be great in my backyard. There are so many trees that block the sun so grass doesn’t grow very well. It looks like this mixture is very high quality and will work great. I have raked and am just waiting for the ground to warm up more this Spring and then I will plant this seed. I have had a hard time finding a seed for dense shaded area so I am pleased with this one...

Shade Grass
We planted this shade grass at the back of our yard that doesn’t see sun. The grass is coming up nicely and we are thrilled with it

Lush lawn in the shade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product and was truly amazed by the results. My yard has a dense covering of tree foliage and it is hard to get sunlight. The seeds grew very quickly and created a beautiful plush and soft area. I finally have a place to set my lawn chairs and takeoff my shoes to enjoy the feeling of fresh grass between my feet. My kids have a soft place to play now and I will continue to cover my entire lawn in no time and create an oasis that...
