Description
Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Contractor's Mix is an all-purpose mix for sunny and shady areas. This mix works to quickly repair bare areas. In addition, each seed is coated to absorb 2X more water than uncoated seed. Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Contractor's Mix is designed for full sun and light shade, and has a coarse bladed texture with medium drought resistance. It can be used to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn. For best results, apply in the spring or fall when air temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product (please refer to spreader settings on product label). Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall. One 20 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Contractor's Mix has a new lawn coverage of 2,665 sq. ft. and an overseeding coverage of 8,000 sq. ft.
Step by Step Instructions
1. PREP
- Rake area to loosen the top layer of soil and remove dead grass. For best results, add a thin layer of Scotts® Turf Builder® LawnSoil™ before applying seed.
2. APPLY
- Apply using a Scotts® spreader. Lightly rake the seed into the soil. For best results, apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Starter Food for New Grass when seeding to help new grass grow in quicker and thicker.
3. WATER
- Watering is a critical step to seeding success. Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.
4. CARE
- Seed will begin to grow in 5-10 days. You can mow the seedlings when they reach 3 inches in height. For best results, apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Starter® Food for New Grass when seeding. Do not apply a weed control product until after at least four mowings.
When and Where to Use
When to Apply
- Fall and spring are the best times to plant grass seed because seed germinates best when temperatures are between 60°F and 80°F.

Would definitely buy again
I have gotten both Scott’s 2x faster and Scott’s contractors the contractors actually germinated two times quicker lol then the other that was faster than the two times faster on growth and way more easier on the pocket as the other bag was over $100 and these were like half the price in germinated much sooner than the two times faster, I will definitely be buying this contractors seed for now on from now on

Works great!
I recently had a patio poured in my backyard and their heavy equipment destroyed all my existing beautiful grass.
I purchased the Scott’s contractors mix due to availability at local Home Depot. After properly raking/grading I wet the dirt and then spread two 40lb bags worth of seed on bare soil. Within 5 days of watering gently (not to disturb/move the seeding) twice a day the grass was filling in like crazy!
Super pleased with this product but keep in mind you need to keep the seeds wet to grow!

Using this as part of lawn rehab
Overseeded thin patches in a lawn that's had a hard time with neglect. Chose this for specific areas that require a tougher product.

Did a great job and more than satisfied intended purpose
during the fall of last year, i made a room addition to my home and a significant portion of the turf in that vicinity had to be destroyed for foundation building, etc. I used the contractor's mixture to provide quick cover to the area with the hope that over the winter and into this Spring the turf would recover the construction somewhat. Well, to my amazement the entire are was sparsely covered. I added Kentucky Bluegrass early this spring and following its germination, heavily fed that portion of my back yard with Turf Builder. As of this date even I am hard pressed to accept that a major construction project had destroyed the turf just a few short months ago.
