Would RecommendWorked better than the more expensive, roll out, grass seed. Quality product! Under advertised, for those who want to maximize the outcome- versus money spent.

Great grass brand
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted the grass mixture and it was quck to grow within around 7 days with daily wattering. I would recommend it to anyone looking to plant new grass in their yard.

I would recommend buying something better
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The seeds are difficult to spread and growing I think the inferior quality of the seeds caused slowed germination. I prepped the lawn (soil, sowing, watering) but not overwatering. I ensured to water lawn 2x day for 7 days and not overwatering. Only about 10% of the bag took and that would be overstating it. I am very disappointed and I will not purchase again in the future

Fast results
Would RecommendSuper fast results, seeded 4 days ago and already seeing growth. Never used this mix before but I will certainly buy it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend for a fast growing lawn.

Great coverage in patchy areas
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this to fill in some patched in small grass areas around my pool, between the pool deck and garden beds. There was centipede grass before and it grows so slow that it just looked patchy, this seed took and filled in the patchy mess. It is a relatively non trafficked area, so it took well and grew green pretty quickly since the beginning of the warm season. The area is pretty much 50/50 sun and shade, but this seed worked out great.

Did good overall
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put some of this on a few bare spots in my yard. The product did good over all. Had good coverage. Didn't do as well in the mostly shaded areas. Just not as thick

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.

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...

Works!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff works! We had a dirt patch that we couldn't get grass to grow on. We tried this and grass has grown!

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...

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.

Not worth the money
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited about this product for some patches in my lawn. I used it on a small area and it didn't work very well at all.

Finally!
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 RecommendVarious 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
