Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great This shade mix grass seed is great. It is so hard to get grass to grow under the trees in my yard because it never gets any sun. This grass seed mix worked wonders for covering the bare patches there. I would definitely recommend this product

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for patching We used this grass seed to patch some areas that didn’t grow previously. We aerated, added the seed, and added straw on top. We watered everyday and within two weeks or so you could see the grass shoots starting to fill in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Grass grows where others before it failed I tried growing grass in a very shady location a few times previously with no luck, but this product did what previously seemed impossible. My backyard is mostly shade and mostly clay, so it's a tough task to grow in new areas. I had others more knowledgeable tell me I'd never grow grass in this particular location but this stuff did the trick It says it includes a ground treatment in addition to a growth fertilizer. I have many other shady areas and will definitely use this seed in the future. The picture shown is after about 3 weeks of growth. It's still coming in thicker every few days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really does grow in dense shade! This product really surprised me in a good way. I have a small-ish area at the side of my house that is shaded for the majority of the day, thanks to my neighbors fence and a large river birch tree. After preparing the area I seeded using the Dense Shade mix & watered regularly to keep the soil moist. After about 10 days I was amazed to see a lot of healthy looking green shoots. The grass seems to be establishing itself well and the germination rate appears high. This seed mix has definitely succeeded where others (Scotts & non-Scotts) have failed. I am very happy with this product. Remember to water frequently!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful product I was very pleased how this product performed. Grass grew very rapidly and performed as advertised. Would recommend this product to everyone. Would buy this product again. Was very easy to apply to the grass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great! I have an area in my front yard. There are two huge Maples That really shade the area. They really soak in the moisture and in the drier part of the season grass tends to get thinner. I've tried many things but after using Scott's Turf Builder Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix, I can really see an improvement. I will continue to use this throughout the summer and into the dry season so I'll be able to keep my nice new grass that has been growing. This is really great stuff!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great under my fruit tree I had some bare patches in the grass around my peach tree that have not changed much despite me trying various grass seed products. This Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix was just what I needed. We are starting to see some grass come thru finally in a tough spot.
