What Customers Are Saying
The product appears to have mixed results. Some customers reported no or very little grass growth despite following the instructions, noting a lack of actual seed in the mix. However, other reviewers had positive experiences, stating the product worked well to fill in bare spots and the grass grew quickly and looked great, as long as the instructions were closely followed, especially around frequent watering. Success seems to depend on factors like climate and soil conditions.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a bare patch in my backyard where we had taken out a tree a few years ago. Put this down over soil that we backfilled the hole with. Only had one bag to use. It seemed to cover well. I haven't seen anything grow yet, but with all the rain we've had recently I am hopeful. I will try to post an update to this review if I see anything start to grow. My backyard has existing zoysia with partial light shade. I live in the south where high heat...

Highly recommended!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend Pennington Smart Patch Zoysia Grass Seed with Mulch and Fertilizer. My yard has some areas where the grass doesn't grow, but after using these grass seeds, I've seen a difference. Grass has started to grow a little in those areas. It doesn't take much time; just follow the instructions. This product is excellent quality. It took me a little over three weeks to see the difference. It works great!

Grass growing....
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I have a bare patch in my back yard I put down the grass seed and water it in everyday I did start to see little sprouts pop-up but nothing else grew in. Maybe I should have water more. I would have to get more and try again.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this on most of my plants, and let me tell you, it grows like crazy! I wish I've learned about this sooner. My garden looks gorgeous now, and I enjoyed being outdoors more looking at my beautiful garden.

Good product idea, but no sprouting.
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the idea of a grass seed patch product with fertilizer and a mulch material. I followed the directions, kept it watered, but did not see any sprouting after 4 weeks. We have had uncommonly cooler and wetter weather conditions this time of year which may have attributed to the negative results.

Worked great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a bare sport from a bounce house in our back yard. This Pennington product worked great at filling it back out and looking great. Definitely will keep some on hand from now on.

Such quick and easy results.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This had absolutely everything I needed to repair my balding lawn in one bag. It was so easy to lay. It was very little work for a big pay off. It didn't take long for the results to wow me. The grass was full and thick. It didn't leave spaces or patches. It is a little expensive but, it has soil and fertilizer in it so the cost makes sense. Great for sandy yards that the seeds need a little extra grip on. I would definitely recommend this to s...
