The product gives great results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The seeds germinate quickly. I do not have to reseed the area as the seeds germinate to a thick grass. It doesn't matter if I seed in a shaded area or in area that gets full sun. The results are great for both.
Pros: Easy to Use
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used turf builder to fill in my hydro seeded yard in spring and fall. One bag each time. I used the Scott's Pro edgegaurd broadcast spreader to put seed down and have a sprinkler system. The product filled in my yard very well. Some of the areas of the yard had no grass at all and after about a week there was a little green popping out. After about a month it filled in. Also I did put the seed down heavier than the recommendation. In conclusion the yard looks as good if not better than my neighbors sodded yard after two years.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Quality
Cons: takes time to grow vs sods instant satisfaction

Sun & Shade Mix is Not Heat Tolerant
on September 10, 2014

from Randolph, NJ
Gender:Male
Expertise:Intermediate
Used Scott's Sun & Shade Mix to seed patches of lawn that were thin and needed to be fixed. Applied top-soil, seed & straw in early May and watered the area for about 3 - 4 weeks until seed had fully germinated. We had the most beautiful and healthy dark green grass all summer long until it got hot in early/mid August (85-90+#. New grass started to thin out, slowly turning brown and is now all dead. Very disappointed as it took a lot of work and the lawn and new grass looked great. It appears that the Sun & Shade mix is not heat tolerant #the rest of my lawn still looks fine as it goes dormant when hot#. Did a soil test with the local extension service which confirmed soil is ok.
Will try to reseed areas again. However, this time I will use another mix of grass seed. Maybe the heat tolerant blue mix will work better #hopefully that mix is available in my area).
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Directions
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from ScottsBy Lee Ann, Consumer Service, September 14, 2014
We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. Once grass seedlings start growing, they may succumb to environmental factors such as disease, insects, or extremes of temperature and moisture. This is not necessarily evidence of inferior grass seed, as even superior grass types are subject to natural stresses.
Maintaining constant soil moisture is the most critical factor in the success of a new seeding, both before and after germination. Even though the seed germinated, the soil may have dried out for a short time after it was up and growing.
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. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n
