Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievably Excellent Product!!!! I bought this product from Walmart in Cheyenne, WY and it’s coming in great! If you follow the directions I don’t see how you can fail. I had grass blades growing in about a week! Unbelievable product! Have already recommended it to friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice grass seed I will buy more this fall I planted the tall fescue last fall and it came up nicely. Now in the spring and early summer it looks like the rest of my grass. It blended well and is nice and mature. Other grasses I tried in the past would not look this good for another season. I like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great fast results I’ve used this sun/shade mix for 2 seasons and I’m really suprised with the results. I live in Michigan, and I ripped up a bunch of damaged pavers and laid soil in a large area off my patio. I followed the instructions and frequently watered the seed every day. And within just over a month (34 days) I was able to entertain people for a party and get many compliments on my lawn. Again, follow the instructions and you shouldn’t have any problems.
