What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this grass seed for delivering visible, healthy growth within days to weeks, with thick, lush, vibrant results filling bare patches effectively. The integrated seed-and-fertilizer combination is frequently highlighted as convenient and time-saving, eliminating separate applications. Regional formulations for the Northeast and Pacific Northwest are commended for matching local climates. A small number report no germination, though many attribute this to insufficient watering or inadequate soil preparation rather than product failure. Overall, most customers consider it highly effective for lawn restoration.

Don't buy from Lowes, too many surveys.

I'm getting sick and tired of these surveys. I bought a national brand item. If I had an issue with it, I would contact the manufacturer. If an employee went above and beyond to help me, I would write an appropriate review.

Did not work

Would Not Recommend

This is the first year I have tried this product. I have used separate seed and fertilizers in the past, but was trying to save a buck by buying the combo here. Well this product did not work. I do not believe I had a single blade of grass grow. I scalped my yard, aerated, and then applied this product as prescribed. Watered daily and still nothing after 2 weeks. Safe to say I will resort back to separate seed and fertilizer that I have used in the past.

Easy to Plant and Growth Well

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product for free to try and review]. The Pennington Smart Seed + Fertilizer 3 lbs is a convenient all-in-one solution for patchy or thinning lawns. It combines grass seed, fertilizer, and mulch, making it easy to apply and ideal for quick lawn fixes. I saw noticeable growth in about a week with consistent watering, and the drought-tolerant grass has held up well over time. Coverage was as advertised, but results were thinner in...

Great fertilizer!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family received a free sample of this product for review. We applied the product over an area with pre-existing lawn but some brown patches. The lawn grew green and relatively quick (we watered daily due to a dry spring in our PNW area). Our dandelions grew too... be prepared to weed, but good product overall.

Maybe I didn't water enough?

Would Not Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on a big dead spot in my yard. I was hoping for it to completely fill in but I ended up with some areas growing grass and others not. This product is really easy to apply and you can see where the seed is. I just am not sure if I did something wrong as I did not get a lush green lawn as expected despite following the instructions on the bag. I used this in a high desert environment in April of 2025.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the product to beef up the thin spots in my yard after the long New England Winter. I spread the seed to help add thickness and growth to lacking areas.
