This grass seed is unexcelled!!!
I must say I'm baffled by some of the negative comments, pertaining to this grass seed. I've used Scott's Turf Builder Rapid Grass Seed for multiple years and I've been,immensely satisfied. If you do all the proper prepping prior to,overseeding or reseeding along with watering twice a day you will have advantageous results. Without a doubt. Be sure to cut grass super low,scarify,aerate and used Scott's Starter Ferterlizer and you'll be set. Love this grass seed! Can't wait to use it in September!

Works good if u follow directions
I live in Northern California SF BAY AREA planted in March 2024 spring time when Temps were from 60 to 70 degrees F during the day and 40 to 50 degrees F at night after the rains had slowed down followed the directions and tilled the lawn spread the seed as recommended covered with layer of peat moss and it sprouted in about 7-10 days!!!
Had a issue with gophers but used traps to keep them in check...
I also used Scott's 3in1 fertilizer because I over seeded the lawn it also will kill crab grass and dandelions clover and weeds to help the seed take over and out-crowd the unwanted greens etc.
I believe if u follow the directions and use some peat moss and till the soil u can achieve good results... so many variables but if u are detailed determined and dedicated it Will work!

Very happy
I love this! Goal to have more lawn was very successful. Prepping was worth it. Previous owners had a small above-ground pool. I prepped the area by scraping away all of the fine gravel by hand, and then blending in top soil and garden soil. Watered every day. Also used on an area that had a significant slope - moved a lot of soil from that too. I am so pleased with my work. Don’t skimp on prepping, seeding and daily watering.

Recommended by a friend and worked for me!
It's been 2 weeks since I seeded the lawn. I had germination after day 7! We have sandy loam here in southern Oklahoma. Very important to follow the directions. I spread the seed, covered with thin layer of pine needles (we have many pine trees) and watered twice daily.

Had to regrow the entire backyard after having my septic dug up. Prepared the soil, laided the seed, covered with a light layer of straw, watered 2x daily and we had grass by day 5! Grass continued to fill in until the whole yard was covered. Very happy with this seed and would recommend to everyone!! I think if it isn't working for you, you aren't following the directions!

Seed is great! Take the time to prepare lawn area.
Planted in northwest Kansas in mid April this year, grew in a bit spotty at first but has since filled in almost completely. I think its very key to evenly till your dirt, I used Sun Joe electric tiller twice on the lawn area. Also I wish I did a better job of watering evenly, as I feel it would have helped it grow more consistently. Over the seed has done great and held up through the dog and a few hail storms so far! Also have the same seed growing in front about a month behind.
