What Customers Are Saying
Customers report mixed results with this grass seed product. Many praise rapid growth within weeks and emphasize ease of installation, noting the simple roll-out process requires no special tools. However, roughly equal numbers experienced patchy or sparse growth, complete failure, or inconsistent germination despite following instructions carefully. Some mention wind-related issues where rolls shifted despite staking. While many find the product easy to use, the inconsistent outcomes—with some areas thriving while others remain bare—leave customers divided on whether it delivers as advertised.

Sorry, but no growth here

Great concept, but nothing grew
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great concept, but not a single blade of grass grew. I followed the directions, but nothing.
From GrowTrax
We’re sorry to hear nothing has grown — that’s definitely frustrating. Even when instructions are followed, germination can sometimes be affected by s...
Do Not Buy - It Doesn't Work
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I followed the instructions perfectly, even bought a fancy ground tiller. Laid the Growtrax down and set my sprinkler system to keep it wet 3x a day. After 5.5 weeks all I have is dirt and a few blades of grass. Feels like a scam.
From GrowTrax
We’re really sorry to hear you’re frustrated, that’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. It sounds like you followed all the ste...
Fast Grass
Would RecommendWhile it may be a bit premature to be writing this with only 14 days of growth to compare, I have been very pleased with the performance of GrowTrax grass. The material is convenient to store (better than sod!), easy to shape to fit a space or site, stays in place (though I used landscape pins) and quick to show signs of growth under daily watering. An added bonus is the fertilizer embedded in the biodegradable material. Grass started appearing after only a few days and continues to look strong...

Mixed bag!
I bought 5 rolls and it has been a little over 3 weeks since I laid it down. I have had mixed results! Approximately half of the area is doing well while the other half has shown small growth. I am hoping the other half comes along!
From GrowTrax
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that half of your area is already doing well. Growth can sometimes vary depending on sunlight,...

Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does Not Work. Save your money. Not a single blade of grass has sprouted.
From GrowTrax
We’re sorry to hear that your GrowTrax hasn’t sprouted yet. Sometimes growth can be affected by factors like temperature, sunlight, soil conditions, o...
Didnt work
It kind of just fertilized the ground that was bald on top of my sand mound septic system and weeds grew under it pushing it off the ground and no tall fescue has germinated as of yet. The net inside the paper material hasnt dissolved so i cant mow it cuz of the netting. So now i got weeds growing there and i dont see any grass growing. Im soon going to have to pick up the netting with whatever paper material is left which has made a mess behind. I pulled weeds, raked the area, and ran a sprinkl...

Cut, Water, and watch it Grow!!
So easy to cut and use! Just keep it moist and watch it grow!!
From GrowTrax
Thanks so much for sharing! We’re glad to hear you found it easy to use, keeping it moist really does make all the difference.
Didn’t Germinate
Would Not RecommendIt isn’t germinating at all after two weeks. An utter failure at this point. And yes, I followed the directions.
From GrowTrax
We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with germination. Sometimes, factors like cooler temperatures or soil conditions can slow growth, even when ...
three weeks in and nothing happening yet
Would Not Recommendnothings happened yet. 3 weeks in and i’ve followed all the directions.
From GrowTrax
Thank you for your feedback. Germination can take longer as temperatures cool, so it’s not uncommon for growth to be slower under cooler conditions. I...
Thanks for your feedback! Our Sun & Shade mix is great for areas with partial sun, but for deep shade, we recommend our Shade Variety, which is specif...
