ScottsTurf Builder Grass Seed Sunny Mix, Grows and Thrives in Areas of Direct Sun, 3 lbs.

We are using this Sunny mix grass seed to fill in bare lawn spots in our front and back yards. Very happy with the ease of spreading the seed by hand, and its quick germination. A good value, too.I highly recommend this product.

It is a bit pricey with not too much seeds. It does grow fast though!

Didn’t germinate as well as expected

Takes a long time to grow. Some of the seeds are still lying around, being stubborn. I gotta order some more, guess I'll hafta come up with a better strategy.

So this turned out as great as I hoped for. I used this, which I got for $25, equal or less than prices at Lowes and Home Depot. It came out so successfully and I'm so happy but read on and learn what else I did for great results.I prepped the ground, eliminated as much existing plant matter from the area as possible. Once that was out of the way I blended my soil with Scotts Turf Builder Lawn Soil, regular top soil and compost. Then I seeded and blended that layer of mixed soil in with the grass. Since animals eating seeds are reportedly an issue I covered the seeded soil with some green netting, real cheap and didn't see one bird attempt to get near or under it. After some time I added starter fertilizer that claims to have it come in thicker, and it did. Throughout all these stages I watered it 2-3 times a day which I hear is critical.All in all it was a great success and I'm very proud. Following these steps I was able to get my yard lawn to be beautiful even while planting in early spring, which isn't recommended. The grass is soft, fine leafed and lush green.I used a whole bag to cover about 1000 sqft. I write this in May so if you're reading this in August - October, your time has come, plant your grass! Do your research and at minimum read what I've learned above. Good luck!

Applied to damaged part of lawn in late September (zone 7 I think - mid to northern NJ) and seed has sprouted within a week. Incredibly happy with the results. I raked the dead spots, puf down the seed and watered it fairly religiously (luckily it rained as well). I would have been happy with a single blade growing - instead I’ve gotten nice patches of new grass growing! It’s like a miracle (I’m quite new to lawn maintenance). Next time I will take the dead spots a bit more and probably mix the seed with fresh soil to really encourage growth. All in all quite pleased with the early results.

So I did everything just as the landscaper had suggested – followed the instructions and watered the heck out of those seeds every single day… not one seed sprouted. Don’t waste your money.

Was planning to have sod installed in backyard. To save money decided to try to do yard maintenance self. So far the yard is looking green and lush. Did use Scott’s fertilizer for new grass seed and have watered regularly. Grew quickly and hopefully it will continue to stay green and grow throughout the summer.
