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.] Tried the Pennington Smart Patch Zoysia mix and here's the deal: super easy to use, just spread, water, and wait. Zoysia grows slow-don't expect overnight results-but once it fills in, it's thick, green, and tough against heat. Perfect for lasting lawns, not quick fixes

Didn't work for me
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a bare spot over our septic tank lid and tried this product to fix it. I followed the directions but the seeds never germinated. Maybe I didn't water it enough? I have some left over and will try again in spring.

Good for patching thinning spots in the grass
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Zoysia in my yard for close to 20 years now. It's a great and low-maintenance grass variety and it thrives in the Carolinas climate and usually doesn't require much. But in the past few years I started to notice some patches where the grass was thinner than other places. I applied the Pennington path on them, and it was an easy and quick process. I have noticed some small recovery already, but Zoysia being a slow-growing variety it w...

Easy-to-Use & Gorgeous Results: Smart Patch Zoysia Seed Mix
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After struggling for seasons with thin patches, bare spots, or uneven color, I was eager to try an all-in-one product. The application process was incredibly simple. I loved the east,quick, and no mess nature of the patch mix. It was much less messy and time-consuming than any other approach that I've used in the past. The built-in mulch component really helped keep the seeds in place, which is a significant advantage over just spreading bare s...

Good product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Smart Patch Zoysia Grass Seed with Mulch and Fertilizer on some bare spots in my yard, and it worked really well. The mix was easy to spread, and I liked that everything was included in one bag. After keeping it watered, I started seeing new grass come up in about two weeks, and it's already filling in nicely. Definitely a good product for fixing patchy areas.
