Great Lawn Seed

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The seeds germinated quickly, taking only about a week to sprout, and the vibrant green color really transformed my yard. I appreciated that the instructions for planting were clear and easy to follow, which made the process straightforward. After a few weeks of regular watering, the grass is now thick and healthy, providing a lush carpet for my family to enjoy. Overall, I highly recommend this grass seed to anyone looking to revitalize their l...

Great product, great results

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a bare spot in my back yard and this grass seed filled it in nicely! Smooth green and beautiful! It was fast growing and very weather resistant with lots of rain.

Central Contractors Mix Grass Seed: A Good Start, But Patien

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used Central Contractors Mix Grass Seed for my lawn, and after about 30 days, my overall experience has been good. The initial signs are promising, though I'm still waiting to see substantial growth. Application was straightforward, and the seeds seem to have established themselves well, with a decent germination rate across the seeded areas. However, after a month, the growth has been somewhat slow. While I'm seeing new blades emerg...

Grass seed pellets

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For my review I would like to start with it straight up look like goat pellets. As far as the grass growing some of it grew but not a whole lot that could be due to not so much rain and me just watering here and there My other grass brands that have bought I didn't need to water too much or anything and they grew like the bag stated it would so for this bag yes is an okay brand but I'll stick with my original brand.

It is ok

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product in my front yard. I had a spot that the dogs dug up and needed new grass. I added the Central Contractors Mix Grass Seed around the area needed after I cleaned and raked the area up so I did not have any weeds or anything else in the area. I then watered the area everyday and sometimes twice to keep it moist. I really like that it has like a mulch that is mixed in to help keep it moist. It also helps so that the birds don't...

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been trying to get our lawn into shape for years, and had almost given up when we received this bag of contractors lawn seed in exchange for an honest review. I didn't hold out much hope, but it has already started transforming into a green blanket! We have some spots that would not grow, and now they are! It didn't even take a lot of maintenance or water. We will be buying more for the back yard, and telling all of our neighbors about ...

Dead After One Month

Would Not Recommend

Various areas I turned up the soil and placed a layer of topsoil, then a healthy amount of seeds , then sprinkled more top soil on top, watered it per the bags instructions, within one week it was growing and all was great. Few weeks thereafter I noticed it was drying up even with watering the grass or rains. Around 4 weeks its dead looks like hey, this is a poor product, I will never purchase any seeds from this company and recommend others not too
