What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the product for rapid grass growth visible within days to two weeks, particularly for small patch repairs from pet damage or weather. Many highlight the convenient shaker design combining seed, fertilizer, and mulch in one step, calling application straightforward and ideal for inexperienced gardeners. The mulch effectively retains moisture and keeps seed in place. However, some customers report complete failure with no germination or unexpected weed overgrowth, often linked to inconsistent watering or environmental conditions. Despite these setbacks, most reviewers recommend it for targeted spot repairs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had several bare spots in my lawn that needed filling in. I was anxious to use this product. It seemed simple to apply and Scott has a great reputation for their projects to perform well. I was not disappointed. This product did as it was advertised. Easy to apply in the bare spots, water and it didn’t take long to start growing. It was formulated to work well, fill in with good quality grass. It worked!! I’m happy with the results.

More like potting soil, clumpy with not much seed
Clumpy, more looking like potting soil with not much seed. Waited 2 weeks for not much of growth of new grass. Just tried to reseed areas that didn't grow... Hopefully in a week I'll see something grow.

Fast growing to fill in bald spots
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Did the trick to fill in patches where our dog had killed the grass off. The new growth did not last to long but that could have been due to my dogs again. I am giving it a 4 star because of the fast growth.

Excellent Product. Sprouts Fast and Blends Quickly
Great results. Sprouts appeared from around 6 to 10 days. After three weeks, the patched areas are blending in nicely. One extra step I learned is to cover the EZ Seed with a thin layer of topsoil if heavy rain is in the forecast. Not doing so can sometimes result in the grass seed being exposed. When it has happened in the past, those areas didn't sprout. Since I began using topsoil as a top layer if heavy rain was in the forecast, I have had no problem with deterioration of EZ Seed applicati...

The product works great but it isn’t easy to start
I have all sorts of problem areas and bare spots that I am trying to fill in my new lawn. I must say grass is not the easiest thing to grow especially in the hot summer months. Soil temperatures have to be right, there needs to be sunlight to grow the grass and watering needs to be spot on. When the seed sprouts the soil must be kept wet, but when the water evaporates it cools the soil temperatures so it doesn’t grow until the sunshine warms it up again. But the blades are so thin and delica...

Didn't work for me
I bought this 3 weeks ago and no seeds germinated. Was a pretty big waste of money.

Terrible results with this product
I bought this product to patch the bare spots in my lawn. I raked the spots prior to putting the seed down. I then covered the spots with burlap and watered it twice a day. To date after 10 days. Not a bit of growth. I can’t recommend this product and very disappointed. Looks like I need to search for another brand that will actually grow grass.

Awesome!
Initially temps were a little cool. I was paranoid for a little bit but it filled in thick as soon as it warmed up. It took about 10 days to germinate. 4 1/2 week later it looks great! So much less expensive than sod!

Waste of money!!!
For all the time and money spent on this product, it is awful. It does not work and if/when it does, it does not spread 4x like it says. The grass is thin and hardly any grows- I bought 4 jugs, and 15 bags of Scott's topsoil and nothing has happened. DO NOT BUY!

Failure
Instead of repairing my grass and making it thicker I wound up with a bunch of browning patches now within days. I absolutely will not recommend this to anyone.

Waste of money
Bought this stuff. In the past the products from you have been good. This did not even start to grow. I have more hair on my head than the product on the lawn. Now getting warm and the lawn is behind.

Don't waste your money
I bought a bag of this because it said it would grow anywhere. Apparently it grows anywhere but potting soil, because I filled a few small depressions in my lawn with Miracle Grow potting soil, then put the EZ seed on top. I have followed the instructions to a T. Temps have been in the low 70's, I watered it thoroughly to start and have kept it damp for 2 weeks. It looks just like the day I put it down. I'm severely disappointed.

This product worked EXACTLY as advertised!
We had excellent results. Our seed has worked exactly as it should have. We had over half our lawn die due to hard, hard freeze. We put this seed out as directed, and my husband was convinced it was a waste of money because after 2 full weeks, absolutely no signs of any grass, but after a full month had passed there was almost no bare dirt visible. After a couple more weeks my husband said, the yard looks better than it has in the last 10 years. Now we will see how it does through the winter.
