[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comes in a big bag, so it covers a large area and feels like a good value. It was easy to spread by hand, and the smell wasn't too bad. The instructions on the back were also clear and easy to follow. I made sure to water the yard after applying it, and having sprinklers definitely helped keep the soil moist. So far, though, I haven't seen much of a difference. It's been about two weeks, and the results have been slower than I expected. It...

Healthy lawn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My lawn is definitely feeling the heat after that crazy heat wave! ☀️ I'm looking into Scott's turf builder to get it back in tip-top shape. It's all about giving my grass the nutrients it needs to bounce back and thrive. Fingers crossed for a lush, green comeback! 🌱 Healthy lawns are so satisfying to look at.

Really worked, no more yellow lawn.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Turned our yellow lawn more green within one use. My husband just scattered the seeds on top before the rain, not even poking holes into the soil and it worked great in my opinion. We used the full bag for the whole front lawn.

Works better than i thought
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My yard was completely empty, no grass at all bare dirt, by the looks of it the dirt wasn’t very fruitful either. I sprinkled this product and watered it as the instructions on the bag suggest; after a week or two i already noticed little sprouts and green grass, and now its filling thick and green. Highly recommended.

Restores areas where a thin lawn needs help
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I noticed earlier this spring that my lawn was looking pretty sad and thin in areas, to the point of being nearly bare in some places even, and weeds were trying to take root instead. I applied this turf builder to help restore my lawn to a happier, more lush state. I liked that this was a combination of everything that I needed all in one bag. It made application easier to deal with, and faster than having to apply multiple products. We did ha...

Good value and really helped my lawn!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used Scotts Turf Builder Thick’R Lawn Sun & Shade on a lawn that had several thin, patchy areas, and overall I was happy with the results. The all-in-one formula made it easy to use since it combines seed, fertilizer, and soil improver, so there was less guesswork than using separate products. The biggest challenge was keeping up with watering. Consistent moisture was definitely needed to get good germination, and areas that received mo...

Quickly greened up my lawn and started filling in the brown spots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start by saying that the weather did not work in my favor so far this year. We had a really hard late freeze after I had beautiful growing weather for several weeks prior. The grass seed was just starting to show right when this happened. I reseeded and started over. Its been really hot now and I have had to water 5 times a day to really keep the area moist for prime grass growing I am starting to see the seeds starting to sprout agai...

Easy to use to prepare your lawn for summer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge thanks to Scotts for giving me the opportunity to test this out in exchange for my thoughts. I received Scotts Turf Builder Thick'r Lawn Sun and Shade to try on our yard, and the process is as straightforward as it gets. You just spread it, water it, and wait. Before putting it down, we power raked and dethatched the lawn to get the ground ready. The texture is a solid blend of seed and fertilizer that feeds the grass while filling in thi...

Perfect for my front yard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott’s thicker lawn Son and shade variety came to me to adjust the right time because the look of my yard corner was so depressing. Last year, I parked my old car there in the grass died, leaving only bear rocks. It was incredibly depressing so I tried a bag of Scott’s thicker lawn, shade variety and it turned out to be so convenient. It’s a 3-in-1 with seed soil analysis and soil conditioner already included, so it helps activate the mix. I d...
