What Customers Are Saying
Customers report sharply divided experiences. About half praise rapid grass growth within one to two weeks, especially for repairing damaged or bare patches, crediting success to consistent daily watering and proper ground preparation. However, roughly a third report complete failure—no germination despite following instructions, with mats disintegrating into wet paper towels. Several note batch inconsistency, with one roll succeeding while another from the same order failed entirely. Many highlight ease of installation, though some struggle with wind displacement and material durability. Overall, results depend heavily on preparation and watering discipline.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Followed the instructions but haven’t seen any sign of growth. Update 5/14/26: Still no sign of flowers. Watering regularly and we've had several inches of rain.

Now it's starting to show
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I followed the directions. Loose soil, dampen, roll out mats, and keep wet. I have yet to see any growth. Update 5/15/26: Fuzzy new growth started this week. Looks like it is pretty thick in some places and pretty sparse in others. Looks like it is going to be okay.

Nothing!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After 2 weeks, absolutely nothing has come up. Watered as per instructions. 😕

Roll out was easy & time efficient
Would RecommendPrep & applying the matt was simple & time efficient. Deducted some stars as matt may have been rushed to market before testing & solving problems that may arise. What came up with me: wetting matt helps but seems to dry out & doesn't hold water too long, so multiple wetting per day necessary, and even then, matt now becomes brittle & the bricks i placed to hold down matt in strategic locations , tear off in even mild wind velocities and as occurred with me, a full 250 feet of matt blew away & h...

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, we really appreciate it.
Great concept. Great product.
Would RecommendThis a great way to lay initial seeds for growth and ground cover. The paper roll covers evenly, and sprouts are visible in less than a week. I have already recommended this product to friends, and they have recommended it to friends.

Don’t recommend
Would Not RecommendBlows all over the place. Doesn’t matter how many stakes you use or how wet you keep it. Maybe there is a use for it but I wish I would have just used dirt and seed.

Disappointed after 3 weeks
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been 3 weeks since I laid down the rolls. So far have seen very little growth, even though I have watered every day. I also planted seed with starter fertilizer next to the rolls and they are growing better so far.
From GrowTrax
We’re sorry to hear about the slow growth and understand your frustration. Germination timing can vary quite a bit depending on temperature, soil co...

Lawn repair strips
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was really hoping that this would help with the bare spots in our lawn. We have followed directions exactly, but after two weeks, not seeing any grass.
From GrowTrax
We’re sorry to hear that and understand the disappointment. At around two weeks, germination can still vary depending on temperature, moisture, and so...
Fast Growing it Works
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very easy to use. You do have to keep it watered. I watered 3 times a day. I initially cleared the ground then mixed in some top/potting soil the sandy Florida soil. I rolled out the product and trimmed what I didn’t need or added onto it for larger areas. I laid the first area on Thursday 4/30 in the late afternoon. By Tuesday 5/5 I could see green. Amazing!
From GrowTrax

Waste of time and money
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Complete waste of time as far as we were concerned. Placed it on the slope, secured it with the makers pegs, wet as instructed. Moments later it blew off and ended up in pieces all over the yard. It wasn’t very windy, I’d call it a breeze. Tried to get it back but it kept breaking up. Wouldn’t use again.
