Horrible tons of crab grass..don't use
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: Dave140
There was a ton if crab grass in this mixture and I used there crab grass killer product and it didn't kill any of it. I had some work done at my home and trucks left ruts in my lawn. I filled the rurs with Scott's top soil and then seeded with Scott's. Then I figured I would sprinkle the rest over my lawn. What a mistake, my lawn is now crab grass heaven. I am so missed I did this. I even went back and bought the crab grass killer and nothing. I have pics ..

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed and appreciate your feedback. Weed seeds are a natural part of native soil, so it is normal to have some weeds grow when planting grass seed.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Summer in the NE and still growing
on July 10, 2018
Posted by: NikiNY
from Hudson Valley, NY
Later start this year for all outdoor planting. Decided to seed a new lawn the last w/e of June 2018 in Upstate NY (heatwave). Mostly shaded area with some afternoon sun. Knowing it was a bad time of year and very hot I have been watering WELL at LEAST 3x/day. GRASS IS GROWING! Prepped ground by loosening hard soil, added some topsoil and Scotts Turf builder lawn soil, rake out add seed rake gentle lots of water. so far so excellent!

Huge Disappointment...Huge
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: Hanky
from Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Used this product by first prepping the area, adding loose black soil, raked in seed mix. Watered religiously. I'm a gardener I know how to plant things. I've got a few grass sprigs after about 4 weeks. I'm so disappointed and have used Scotts products for years. A gardener likes to plant things and watch them grow, this was a huge frustrating disappointment. I"m just going to buy sod and find a new fertilizer for the rest of the lawn.

Crabgrass
on July 13, 2020
Posted by: CindyM
from Detroit, MI
We had some new landscaping done and needed to repair some areas in our lawn. Used this product in all of these areas and now have crabgrass in every single area that we planted the seed. We purchased 2 20lb bags so, not only an unsightly mistake using this product but, a costly one as well. Very disappointed and frustrated.

We are sorry that you have been disappointed by the appearance of weeds in your newly seeded areas. Our seeds are guaranteed to be 99.9% weed-free. Weed seeds are exposed when the soil is turned and will germinate right along with the new seed. Weed seeds may also be introduced to the area through the addition of topsoil or straw. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please contact us to see what can be done.

Always Grows
on May 26, 2022
Posted by: Bears1985
from Illinois Chicagoland
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scott’s seed always grows. It germinates quickly just water as directed. When it fills in it it lush green and thick great for over seeding. To make clean up easier I wear gloves otherwise you do get a bluish film on your hands washes off easily just my choice.

Grass seed for the dark side.

from O hi O
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used in an area that is between a house and a drive way that does not receive not much sun light and isn't easy to grow grass . So tried it and it seems a good mix for this area other grass seeds haven't work.

Waste of time and money!
on June 13, 2023
Posted by: Disgusted 1
I tilled our lawn and removed the old grass, then spread premium top soil before spreading the seed. It has been getting watered twice a day for the last SEVEN WEEKS! What do I have to show for the expense and effort? Nothing but a few random clumps of grass! I will never purchase another Scott's product! What a scam!

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix and appreciate your feedback.
For best results, this product should be applied when daytime temperatures are consistently above 65℉, making the soil temperatures at least 55℉. In the spring, it takes a lot of consistent warm temperatures to warm up the soil. Cool nighttime temperatures can delay the germination process even if warm enough during the day. Germination should begin in 6-14 days under ideal growing conditions and will take about a month to fully germinate. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. Weed control product used on sew seedlings will kill seedlings. Do not apply a weed control that is registered for lawn use until it has been cut at least 3-4 times.
