What Customers Are Saying

The Smart Patch grass seed product had mixed results. While some customers reported successful grass growth, especially when applied densely and with proper soil preparation, many others experienced poor germination and no growth despite following instructions. The product did not consistently meet the claims of results in 5 days. Overall, the reviews suggest this is a hit-or-miss product, with a significant number of unsatisfied customers.

Grass growth

Would Recommend

Maybe this has worked look somewhat better, but I’ve only used it one time so can’t truly say just yet

Poor germination -- better off with seed.

Would Not Recommend

I've used this product before somewhat successfully on a hill. But this year, despite careful preparation, good weather, and regular watering, a very sparce density of grass germinated after 2 weeks. I covered some other bare spots at the same time with rapid grass seed and simple top soil with much better (and more economical) results. I ended up having to overseed this product with seed and topsoil given its poor germination density. Very disappointed and will not purchase this product again.

Save Your Money, Buy Something Else

Would Not Recommend

Don't be fooled by the package. This "10-pound" mix is maybe 1-2 pounds of actual grass seed, the rest is 'fertilizer' and cover material. Further, none of the grass grew. Save your money, time, and effort, and a second trip to the store for better grass seed.
