DESCRIPTION
Scotts® Turf Builder® THICK'R LAWN® Sun & Shade has everything you need to help turn your thin lawn into a thicker, greener lawn. The 3-in-1 solution is formulated with grass seed to fill gaps in current lawn, fertilizer to feed, green, and thicken new and existing grass, and soil improvers to encourage stronger root development. These three components work together to help you get up to a 50% thicker lawn with just one application (subject to proper care; results may vary based on current condition of lawn). Scotts® Turf Builder® THICK'R LAWN® Sun & Shade is a great addition to your lawn care program with one application in the spring and one application in the late summer or early fall. 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 soil surface moist for the first 2 weeks. One 12 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® THICK'R LAWN® Sun & Shade covers 1,200 sq. ft.

Success with Scotts Lawn Care Products
We always have good results with the products we purchase from Scotts. We have been applying all 4 seasons products that are recommended by Scotts and have had a great deal of success.

Amazing
Our front lawn was looking terrible over the winter when deer trampled it into muddy bare spots. My husband was angry and thought it would never recover. I used one bag in April, applied with a hand spreader and despite heavy rains and continued daily deer visits, Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Sun & Shade has turned our lawn back into a thick green oasis! All of our neighborhood lawns are brown and dry, yet ours is green and healthy. We have a huge lawn and I plan to purchase more in the fall to treat other areas, the price makes it affordable.

Greenest thickest lawn in the neighborhood
This product was recommended to me by a Scotts Representative I ran into at Home Depot. I bought this upon his recommendation and have been using it for at least 8 years, 2 times a year (following the instructions👍🏻) with great results. My lawn is the best looking greenest thickest lawn in the neighborhood. Thank you 😁

So for, so GREAT!
I spread this product on my lawn back in late October 2023. I thought it was a little late to apply it, but at the encouragement of a neighbor, I spread it and thought if it didn't work, I'd try again next year. Now it's 3/31/2024 & WOW!! The grass filled in & it is lush, thick, & a beautiful dark green color. I have a couple of patches that I need to fill in. I think it may be due to pets or people walking through it (our home is in a high traffic area). I plan to overseed this Fall 2024 to give my lawn a boost. I am also going to seed this week in the back part of my front yard to see what happens. This area has more weeds & moss than grass. Ideally, I should have applied weed killer, so that the grass seed doesn't have to compete with weeds, but if it doesn't work out, I will reseed in the fall. In any case, I am pleased, so far, with the product. I would like to know what type of grass is in the Sun & Shade mix. I can't seem to find it on the package, but I may have overlooked it.
