What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this lawn soil for promoting rapid grass growth and repairing bare spots, with most reporting visible results within days or weeks of application. Many highlight its effectiveness when mixed with grass seed and appreciate how easily it spreads and levels uneven ground. However, some customers express frustration about inconsistent composition, noting excessive wood chips, mulch, and debris requiring sifting. Despite these concerns, the majority consider it a reliable, worthwhile solution for lawn restoration and report repurchasing it repeatedly.

Not the best product
This soil has too much bark in it and although it’s an expensive option with fertilizer the soil itself isn’t the best. Go with Black Kow instead.
Clumps in the bag
Would RecommendI bought this as it was on sale. Generally I don't buy Scott's products. I bought and used twelve bags to replace a piece of my lawn. It works as it should. There is noticeable amount of wood debris mixed in the product. I'm not going to rave about a bag of dirt. The stuff out the back was packed into clumps, and needed to be worked to spread about .
This is good dirt
Grass seed

Great product
Would RecommendRight solution of my requirements
Top notch

The right foundation in bare areas, gives your seeding a better chance. Early spring and fall is when I use it.
