Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Tall Fescue Mix

My backyard had a lot of bare spots as I have dogs that use the bathroom back there. This has not made grass grow in all of the spots but it has helped with a lot of them. Also, the grass was rather worn and thin in areas and this has really improved those areas and the grass is thick and deep green now. I will definitely purchase this again next spring. I feel that it has helped a lot and worth the money. It does make the grass grow like crazy though and I’ve had to mow it more often but that’s a good thing.

This crap really works. Or it was because it’s been raining everyday. Going to over-seed with it.

I used this grass before and it grows in fast (in semi shade/sin and full sun cool weather) and bright green. BUT it dies off once it gets hot no matter how much you water it and did not grow in dense shade.

I like the product and price

I bought this to fix some bare spots on my lawn of course. I put down a thin bed of Scott's Lawn Soil, then put this seed mix down, then covered that with a thin layer of of Scott's Lawn soil. I fenced off the area with temporary construction fence to keep the dogs off of it and watered twice daily. After 2 weeks, nothing new was sprouting. The grass that had been there was much taller from the additional water and probably the fertilizer in this mix and that in the Lawn Soil. After 3 weeks, a few new grass blades had sprouted. After 4 weeks, no new blades sprouting but the initial ones were taller and the original grass that was there was darker green. After 5 weeks, still the same, hardly any new grass.I got tired of waiting for this stuff to sprout, bought regular grass seed and threw that down......10 days later, that new grass seed was growing well and filling the bald spots.This stuff was a waste of time. Just re-seed with regular grass seed and save yourself some time.I gave it 3 stars because the fertilizer in the mix seemed to work.

I have used this product for many years. It works. I usually mow my lawn to about 2 inches then spread the seed out over the lawn. My lawn isn't sparce but it's kind of like an overseed. Comes with seeds, dirt and fertilizer. Do it when you expect rain then you don't have to water it in. My lawn is the best on the block because of Scott's and Turf builder fertilizer. Buy a small bag first and see if it works. Good luck!

We had a very rainy spring, and I was having drainage issues in my yard with a few spots that needed regrading. I could not seed with all the rain, because prior experience told me that midweat storms just wash away seed. When the weather was looking clearer, I set up one of the spots. When I realized a heat wave was coming, I figured I only had enough time to set up one area, and I would have to wait until fall for the other one. I bought a bag of Scott's from another venue for that area only.Once I realized the sprinkler would hit both spots anyway, I decided to go ahead and buy this product and overseed the spots in between with it as well. I had already smothered the existing grass with cardboard for a few weeks, so I went out early on a hot day to till. It took me a few hours and a lot of energy and sweat to make sure the area was leveled correctly and free of any remaining weeds or grasses. A few days after I seeded, I noticed grass popping up already, and got a little worried, as fescue takes longer. After a week or so or watering 3 times a day in 90-100 degree temps, the entire area was covered in something that is NOT fescue. It was a thick fast growing crabgrass like grass (see photos). I was afraid weed seeds came over from the neighbors, but there were no other spots that were sprouting this grass. The first spot was growing pretty well with only a couple weeds, and nothing that looked like this. Only the newly seeded area, some spots in between where I overseeded and a neighboring garden were sprouting this uncontrollable mess. I do not know how this happened, as others have clearly got good results and posted fescue photos, but my bag clearly did not have the right seed. I have never been so frustrated. After spending so much time and money watering (and wasting precious water), I am going to have to smother and dig up the whole thing again or hope that weed killer gets it, and start all over in the fall. I have not got my water bill yet, but I can only estimate that I would have been better off splurging on sod. I really want to scream.
