Get outside and enjoy your lawn with Scotts® Turf Builder® Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix. With our revolutionary mix of grass seed and fertilizer in one effective formula, your lawn benefits from extended feeding, resulting in full, green grass. Compared to seed alone, your lawn will grow 2X faster (when applied at the new lawn rate, subject to proper care). Scotts® Turf Builder® Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix grows green, lush grass in just weeks. Use on either new lawns or overseeding existing grass. 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). Do not use weed control products until your lawn has been mowed at least 4 times. Finally, be sure to apply Scotts® Lawn Food products every 8 weeks throughout the season to help maintain your thick, green lawn. One 16 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® Rapid Grass Tall Fescue Mix has a new lawn coverage of 1,760 sq. ft. and an overseeding coverage of 5,280 sq. ft.

How to Use

When Seeding a New Lawn

• One 16 lb. bag covers 1,760 sq. ft. of a new lawn.
• Prep the area by raking it to loosen the top layer of soil (roughly 2" deep). Remove any dead grass or debris to ensure seed-to-soil contact.
• Apply using a Scotts® spreader - Set a Scotts® Hand-Held Spreader at 5. Go over the lawn 5x. Set a Scotts® Broadcast/Rotary Spreader to 8 1/2. Go over the lawn 2x.
