What Customers Are Saying
Customers report mixed results with this grass seed. Many experienced rapid, thick growth with proper soil preparation, consistent watering, and favorable conditions, while others faced poor germination rates despite following instructions carefully. Some note germination as low as 2-10% with large areas producing weeds or bare patches. Successful users emphasized aerating, adding topsoil, and watering multiple times daily. Several mention the seed performs better in shaded areas or after rainfall. A few report clumping during application. Reviewers express concern about value relative to performance, with some comparing it unfavorably to cheaper alternatives. Overall, results appear highly dependent on soil prep, environmental conditions, and user technique rather than product consistency alone.

Would Recommend...the fact I didn't prepare the area very well. It was clumpy, non compacted, earth from a foundation excavation. Watered it twice a day for several days because no rain and covered it with straw. No fertilizer. 6 weeks later it looks great!

Easy restoration
Would RecommendEasy use. Just prep your grass, spread, and over water. Watering it 3xs a day for 4-5 weeks
Broken Grass Seed
Would Not RecommendI have had good luck with this grass seed in the past but this time not one seed from the bag germinated over nearly three weeks on the soil. I have done everything correctly per the instructions but have yielded not even a single blade of grass. This must be a bad batch or something. Beware.

The big box stores and Scotts have managed to hoodwink the consumer over the years. My lawn has finally started to look good since I've dumped Scotts products for Lesco products at my local landscaping store.
This does the job.
Would RecommendThis is a good product to help fix the lawn. Very well priced.

Sun and Shade Awesomeness
Would RecommendSecond application due to insufficient amount initially planted. It rained after the application and the seeds were moved by the water into clumps. I’ve just replanted and my fingers are crossed that the grass thrives just as the first application.
