Fast results

Would Recommend

Super 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. 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...

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...

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.

Love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have struggled to make my grass grow but this blend is super effective and made my grass look thick and luscious. I am absolutely planning to use this every season, definitely one of the best grass seeds that I have used.

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 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

When the seed is good, the product works well.

I purchased this at another store. This particular bad did not germinate very well. When I opened the bag there was a big clump of seed. This is not normal. Some of the seed looked odd. I like the brand normally, but this particular bag was not the quality that I am use to. My other bag germinated great. Should have returned it, just wanted to get the job done. :(
