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 and another with a top soil+sand+seed mix 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 and baking soda first to lower the acidity of the soil. 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.

Used this to reseed entire side yard and patch topdressed areas. The seeds are in their 5th week now and at nearly 2 inches and really great root growth and coverage. Several tips. Though some people suggest covering the seed with soil, in the dirt or raking it in, I suggest not doing that.. raking will move seeds to concentrate in certain areas, and too much soil over the seed will lead to non-germination. My favorite way of reseeding is to liberally spread seeds in an area that you have raked to loosen top soil. Then use a 200+ lb water filled lawn roller (I bought the Brinly PRC-24H) and go over the area. If you are reseeding a large area, this is a good investment and can be used later to flatten your lawn profile. The roller does several things. It buries the seed just right into the soil, compacts the soil somewhat, and creates a level surface. If you seed in loose dirt that leaves a big footprint, you'll have big issues later, and root growth will be weak. Grass needs strong roots. Back to the Scotts seed, they grow really fast as long as you have a consistent 60-80 degree weather. Anything below or above, you will have issues. So best is mid Spring or fall.

So this did indeed sprout when they said it would. They have a pic on the bag that shows what it should look like (top view) after a couple different time periods. Mine does look a lot like the pictures. The reason I knocked the star off was because so much of the seed didn’t sprout. This is a new lawn and has new soil and I personally watered it several times a day. It came in very patchy. It’s been 6 weeks now and I can still see a lot of the unsprouted seed on the dirt. Can’t imagine I did anything wrong since it grew fine in other less-ideal areas. I’ll over-sow this fall and see if that thickens it up.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical despite reading reviews about Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. I just couldn’t believe it would actually make my grass grow quickly. My front yard had suffered from excessive sun exposure, leaving it looking brown and unsightly. Desperate for a solution, I decided to give this product a try. To my amazement, within just a few days, I started to see new grass sprouting up – vibrant and green. It was a sight for sore eyes! And now, after only a week, the results are truly impressive. I can already imagine how beautiful my front yard will look in just a couple more weeks! This product has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s transformed my lawn from dull to dazzling in no time at all. If you’re facing similar issues with your grass, don’t hesitate to give this product a shot – you won’t regret it!

Planted this grass seed in my Florida yard on February 8 and today is February 14. In less than a week I have a yard full of bright green sprouted grass about one inch tall! My yard is very shady and I've only been watering for about 20-30 minutes a day, but the extra soil treatment/food in the seed mix apparently made the difference. Love this product!

This is definitely the best grass seed I have purchased, my lawn looks more lush and green. The grass seems to be more resilient to the hot weather since using this brand of seed. My mother in lawn used some as well and we were both very impressed with this product. I would recommend without hesitation
