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.

Easy Lawn Patch Fix
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pennington Smart Patch Zoysia Grass Seed Mix is easy to spread and comes with mulch and fertilizer. Some spots grew quickly and filled in nicely, but results vary depending on sunlight and watering. Works well if you're consistent! Highly recommended.

I would definitely recommend this product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So we had to have new french drains installed into our backyard, so of course that left the biggest bald spot right in the middle of our yard. I used this and within 2-3 weeks the grass genuinely grew so much. It was basically dirt at first a few little grass hairs here and there but now you wouldn't be able to tell that we even has anything done back there.

We had a hurricane come through & didn't see much growth
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a hurricane come through & didn't see much growth. I feel like if it hadn't rained so much for so long (a week) that I would've had better results. I am very impressed with the amount I received in such a small bag. It covered a ton of dead spots. I'll try this again.

Fast and easy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted this seed quickly after taking the bare spot. Then watered daily for about 3 days. Then it actually started sprouting. After a week it was looking good and growing. Very easy to use Will definitely getting more for other bare spots I need to fix.
