Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix, Combination Seed and Fertilizer, Grows Green Grass in Just Weeks, For Overseeding and New Lawns, 16 lb.

Follow the directions, water, and you will have grass. My dog tore up my backyard grass wise, and just looked terrible. Bought this bag, spread the seed around. Watered often, recommends twice a day. Got a fair amount of rain after I laid the seed, so that may have helped. About a week in you can see sprouts, around that two week mark it was growing well. Patchy, and seems slow. But it does grow. Can't control how it grows or patches. As for weeds, your outside, you may get weeds. It happens. I'm satisfied with the product. Will eventually buy another bag or two to cover a few other areas.

Worked Great!!! Had a few areas that needed patched. I prepped the soil to loosen it up, applied the seeds & then raked it a bit to get the seed under the dirt & covered with straw. Watered it 3 times a day & it has been growing in real well. 3 weeks in & it is high as the rest of the older grass, just thinner grass blades as of now.

My photos show before and after, about a 3 week difference. I'm relatively happy with this seed. As you can see, grass is growing. However, I have a few spots that just won't sprout anything and I think its due to increased shade in those areas. So if you have a shady area, this seed won't work I'm guessing. Also, it isn't as thick as I'd want it. Maybe in due time. I might put more seed down.

I hardly review any products but I wanted to make sure I left a review this time around. The rapid grass fescue mix works well and far exceeded my expectations. Make sure you till your soil, spread the seed, rake the seed into the soil and...water, water, water.I have full, thick, grass, growing in just under 2 weeks. I made it a point to water every evening (not over watering, though), keeping that soil moist to allow the seeds to germinate. It's been pretty sunny and hot out in Los Angeles the past few weeks, so I'm sure that helped a ton as well.In any event, this seed has helped fill in bald spots and empty spots, giving my lawn that full, green, lush, look. The seed helped me save a ton of money that I otherwise would have spent on sod.

Did not grow! I followed every step, yard was level, rocks removed, tilled and amended. I watered 3 times daily and made sure no one could walk on the area. Nothing. Three weeks in and not a sprout. Maybe the bag got too hot or cold in transit and the seeds died? Super disappointed in all the work and effort for nothing.

Edit: changing my review as seed started to germinate after about 3 weeks. Not excellent results by any means but not 0% like original review. They sprouted better in the shade areas than the sun.Seeded almost 2 weeks ago with two 5.6 lb bags. Raked areas, put down seed, covered with "lawn soil." Watered daily in the spring (no extreme cold or hot temperatures). 0% germination. Like literally not one sprout with two full bags put down on three different lawns in my yard (back, side, front). Wish there was some way to return but obviously not.

I needed/wanted plush, thick grass. I live in Oklahoma and was trying to find something that could handle the very hot sunny days during the summer with watering at night a few times a week.I've been so pleasantly surprised by this product!! I went in sort of blind, fingers crossed, hoping I'd done enough research when I bought this.Not only did the grass FLOURISH and look pretty but it actually lasted through the VERY VERY COLD winter!!!! I could not believe it!I've had SEVERAL compliments and people have asked me what I used bc they've tried EVERYTHING under the sun in this crazy hot & freezing weather without much success.The only downside is the price! Very pricey! However, I looked up this product at Lowe's and realized I can get much larger bags for a MUCH better price.

Product worked as advertised. Just scuff the a t ea, place and water. Nature will do the rest. Keep the seeds moist.
