Just starting to sprout.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sprinkled Scott's Turf Builder on several dead spots on my lawn after removing all the dead vegetation as well as some healthy grass just to be on the safe side. We've had several inches of rain the past 2 1/2 weeks which has allowed the seed to germinate and sprout some new growth. It should work fine in filling in the bare spots once it is has spread and grown some more. Otherwise, I feel it will fill my needs of my yard and beauty when fully grown.

Followed directions for planting. Almost 3 weeks since planting and grass has barely come up.
a few spots it has grown but overall very unhappy with this product. Will dig up and replant with another brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this down five or six weeks ago and I am impressed on how thick it filled in. Just threw it down no starter fertilizer or anything.. I have tried other grass seeds and usually it takes three or four weeks for it to come up never mind to fill in as nice as this house I’m sure another week or two it’ll be really full

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Put on lawn two weeks ago , have had enough rain to keep moist as instructed and am seeing very little results. Don't know if excess rain has been hard on product or not. Will be glad to update results in a couple of weeks as it may start sprouting at anytime.

We are sorry that the germination rate of your Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun and Shade Mix was unsatisfactory. There are a variety of factors that play a role in successful germination, and if even just one of these factors is not right the germination of the seed can be affected greatly. Excess rain can be responsible for transporting the seed away from its original location, resulting in bare spots. Here at Scotts, it is always our goal to produce the highest quality products and we stand by the promises made in our advertisements. When a product does not function as it should, we want to hear from you in order to improve our services. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 888-270-3714, and reference this product review for assistance.

We are over 30 days out - and nothing.
I prepped exactly how it asked - I seeded the area and watered 3x per day with my automatic sprinkler system - and nothing grew. It is still a nice mix of sand and dirt with no grass in sight - very sad. Wish I would not have wasted my money...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, I was pleasantly surprised when I planted this seed. Within a couple of weeks it was growing and doing very nicely. I was able to cut down a bit on the watering because of the quick growth. Highly recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions on package very easy to follow. Worked dirt in the area needing grass and simply planted the seed. Kept the seed watered and small shoots within several days. Two weeks after planting grass was thick and about ready to be cut. Amazing product. Highly recommended to fill in bare spots in lawn.
