Deep Green
I normally purchase my grass seed from an online seed superstore. However, this spring I had about 200 sq ft of a low spot that I needed to fill. Used this northeast mix with great results. Planting in the spring can be more challenging than the fall, but I got great results with this seed, fertilizer, soil conditioner. Grew in strong and lush. This seed produces the deepest green of any grass that I have used. It does grow a bit faster than my established lawn, but it stands up to traffic. Some research into the selected seed used in this mix indicates they are all top quality selections. I am now trying this seed for my fall lawn renovation and overseeding. My only complaint is that the coverage for a drop spreader does not come close to advertised sq ft using the package settings.
Located in Massachusetts. Highly recommended.

Great Seed
I used this along with some Scott’s garden soil to fill in some bare spot on my lawn. The seed grew fast and filled in completely. Very happy with this seed and will use it again in the future, my lawn looks full!

Great seed!!
This bag of turf seed is exactly what I needed to fill in a few spots that were bare in my yard. I am so impressed on how fast this grew! Other seed that I have used in the past have a taken several weeks or over a month and this covered my bare spots in half the time!

Late Start and pleased with results
Decided to roll the dice and seeded June 15 and now July 1 we have 3+ inch grass. Lucked out as we had about a solid week and half of on and off rain just about every day. I had bad case of moss did the treatment around Memorial Day using Scotts MossEx which worked out pretty good. Only then did I realize that I needed to get it seeded. Used Scotts starter fertilizer with weed killer but ran out of that and got some Viagro starter fertilizer as local big box ran out of the Scotts. Applied straw mulch after seeding and liming. Wish I had more ofthe Scotts starter with weed killer as now get some weeds with the new grass except where I had preped with the Scotts. Figure in fall will try some Tenacity and other "safe" weed killer for newly seeded lawns to kniock down the weeds and maybe another overseed. Also when I for seeding used a slicer aerator that really got a good seed contact.

Pleasantly surprised - Patches filled in quickly
Our lawn had some bare areas where our daughter practiced pitching her softball. I live in southern PA, so this year's weather has been seasonally cooler, not sunny or rainy. I wanted to get this project going before her softball tournament season kicked into full gear. So I followed the directions, properly prepared the area, sprinkled the seed/builder, and waited patiently. Even with the cloudy weather, I've seen SO MUCH improvement in the past two weeks!!! I have pictures of when I first prepared the area, and then you can see now that after a few weeks, the grass is coming in and is over 2 inches long! I recommend this for high-traffic areas, especially areas with patchy grass. I plan to use this to fill in our other regions where the grass is thinning. Kudos Scotts!

Grows quickly
Very nice grass seed for the northeast. It is easy to spread and sprouts very quickly. This grows quickly and filled in areas that were bare and desperately needed grass. My lawn looks so much better now that the bare spots are gone.

Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Northeast Mix
I have used Scotts products before and am always pleased with the results. My lawn over the Winter needed re-seeding and I used this product. It has been a very strange Spring here in Northeast Pennsylvania with some days being warm and others very cold and dry. After much needed rain the results I feel are getting my lawn to where it should be. Many have complemented me on my lawn and how great it always looks.
