Review: Works like magic! - LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! My lawn has suffered some major damage and I was very stressed out about it. I tried this in hopes that it’ll help but not really putting much faith into it. I spread the seeds with some prayer. A week to week and a half later I was thoroughly shocked at how much it has grown!! This has been a life saver for me. The only con is that the grass is very thin? I’m hoping it’s just because it hasn’t reached maturity? Idk. But, it grows fast!
Review: GREAT Product - Would Recommend - This product did wonders on my backyard. I have a large breed dog and water can stand after hard rains, the combo tore up my grass in an area. I was embarrassed as bad as it had gotten. I bought a hand spreader and this seed and after poking holes in the area laid this. It did take a couple weeks to germinate, I was nervous because I had never thrown grass seed down. It is the difference of night and day, would 10/10 recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When will I see my new grass growing?**
A: Weeks 1-2: You should see sprouts. Keep watering to keep the area moist. Weeks 3-4: Seedlings grow and need you to keep them hydrated. Weeks 5-7: Your grass should be filled in nicely. Apply when temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F.

**Q: How much seed do I need for my lawn?**
A: Check the bag label for coverage. New lawn uses more seed per square foot than overseeding. Measure your lawn first so you know how many bags you need. Use a Scotts spreader with label settings and walk at a steady pace for even coverage.

**Q: How do I prepare my lawn before seeding?**
A: For new lawns: rake and loosen the top couple inches of soil. For overseeding: mow lawn short (about 2 inches), then rake to loosen soil. After spreading the seed, lightly rake it into the top layer of soil.

**Q: How do I get thick, green grass?**
A: Use our Root-Building Nutrition formula to establish deep roots for thick, green turf. Keep soil moist, apply at proper temperatures (60°F-80°F), and overseed once a year. Store leftovers in the original bag in a cool, dry place for best results.

**Q: Why am I seeing weeds instead of grass?**
A: Some weed seeds germinate faster than some grass seeds. Pull weeds carefully by hand, keep watering your grass seed consistently, and wait for new grass to establish (mow 4 times) before using weed control.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great for Creating a Fairway Type Lawn for Golf Practice
*by E***S on October 15, 2021*

Update August 2024 I have purchased this same seed for many years and have had good results....until now. The last bag I purchased was in March of this year and have been pretty disappointed. It seems like I am getting more crabgrass, and other weeds I can't identify, in newly planted areas, more than in the past. As I stated in my original review, I only have a small area in my back yard that I try to keep nice. I put down a pre-emergent in the spring to help control weeds, most specifically...crabgrass, and it usually does the trick. I might get an occasional one in later in the summer when it's hot, which is normal, but not like this year. I have been using it to see newly planted areas as well as for over-seeding. It may be that we have more crabgrass this year than in the past, but it's still a potential problem so I have decided to try another brand to see if I get similar or better results. For now, and mainly because my process has not changed, I have changed my rating too four stars. Original Review I live in the country so taking care of my lawn is not a high priority. I do not believe it watering a lawn and cut only when it needs to be cut. I am all about low maintenance when it comes to lawn care. That said now and then repairs are needed and having a good an easy to use dependable seed and one that grows in sun or shade, is a must for me. I have tried a number of different types of seed over the years and came across this brand and mix at a local hardware store and it seemed to work out very well for those occasional repairs and patching projects. It grows fast and fills in pretty thick which helps keep weeds at bay in new areas and over-seeding in the fall seems to help choke out weeds in the spring before they get a chance to take root - for the most part anyway. The summer of 2021 I started to take back up golfing and I practice in my back yard which is about an acre. When using irons it is typical to take a divot which, if you hit as many balls as I do, sometimes 200+ a session, can do some serous damage to your lawn over time. To fix these areas I started using the Scotts Turf Builder Sun and Shade Mix. I decided to create a large area, about 1800 sq ft to use just for practicing. The idea being to practice in one spot then repairing that spot after practice is done and moving to an adjacent spot. I researched the type of seed used for fairways on golf courses and this mix is about the same and seems to work really well. The area varies in the amount of sun and shade and this mix works well in that regard too. I have tried a few methods to do repairs. I tried raking with a stiff rake to loosen the soil then sprinkling the seeds on top and re-raking it with a leaf rake to spread the seed evenly which worked fine, but I found that when watering it's too easy to wash the seeds from one area creating spotty growth. It does fill in eventually, but I wanted a method that would be quicker and guarantee even growth. What seems to work best is to fill any deep holes with soil, put down a soil/seed mix, then cover it a small layer of soil to help retain the moisture and tap it down lightly with my foot. I keep a bucket with a mix of top soil and sand that I use just for this purpose. I water two to three times a day with a hose or watering can with a sprinkler head. This method also works well to repair any urine spots my dog makes. It does require flushing the spot real good with water though to wash away the strong nutrients in the urine. I cut this area with a push reel mower which allows me to cut it real low. Which is another plus to this blend in that it can be cut very low without any problems. However, I normally keep it a little longer in new areas so not to stress the new growth. Since the area is so large area I decided to buy the seed in a larger quantity (20 lb) and found it on Amazon for a real good price. I ended up getting a second bag so I could over seed the area before winter. When over-seeding, I normally just spread it by hand although I have used a hand held spreader too. This worked very well and I was amazed at how dense it was in the spring. Overall I am very pleased with this seed. It is very easy to use, requires minimal maintenance and looks great. If you are looking for a low maintenance seed that is easy to use and grows quickly in sun or shade this will work very well.
