Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed High Traffic Mix - Grass Seed Plus Lawn Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Self-Repairs, Covers Up To 1,200 sq. ft., 2.4 lb.

I had roughly seven 10x15 foot areas of my yard that needed seeding. I tried grass seed from my local hardware store where they had their own special mix and some generic brands. That grass only lasted a year before it died. I then tried this Scotts high traffic mix seed. Wow, it did work great! These areas now look better than my old grass. The special coating on each seed really does work well. Many years ago, I was a landscape foreman and was leery about the coated seed just being a gimmick. However, the coating seemed to help tremendously. I did not do anything special when I applied the seed. I typically add hay and peat moss, rake it in, and etc. But I was lazy when this seed arrived, so I just threw it on the yard and watered it once a day, nothing else. I even missed a few days of watering because I was busy with other stuff. Low-and-behold, this seed came through with charm and has become very lush and deep green while my old grass is a little on the brown side. It took this seed about 8 days to germinate and I was mowing it in another 14 days after that. I highly recommend this seed since it can be neglected a little and still grow into something nice. My next job is to reseed the rest of my lawn to get the entire lawn back to looking lush.

Central Florida here. I’m a super beginner when it comes to anything in my backyard. I bought a 7lb. bag and sprinkled it over half of my yard. The seeds started to sprout in just under a week, and boy are those baby blades cute! It’s patchy, and not consistent yet, but I’d already decided that it would take at least two seedings to get the kind of lawn that I’m looking for. I’m also not disappointed at the patchiness as I put minimal effort into caring for the seeds - never put down new soil or fertilizer, and only watered once a day. Overall, I’m very happy with how much has sprouted. I can’t wait to start on the next bag to see what happens!

I bought a few of these bags for patches which was a lot! I planted them about 3 weeks ago in Utah. The temperatures have been pretty cold at night (30-40s) and day time is about 50-60s. It’s not like Utah so after I planted the seed about a week later the temps dropped. Needless to say, the grass is growing but seems to be a little slower then what it should take. But that’s ok, this picture is about 3 weeks later. I was watering 2 times a day at first but now with the temps dropping so low it’s only getting water once a day. My dog has been walking and playing in the area which doesn’t seem like it affected the growth. Overall I’m happy with it, and bought some more to finish up the yard. Seeds were not expired, I did Make sure when I received the seeds. I also used Scott’s lawn soil and threw on some food for new grass. I have never planted grass seeds before.

The germination rate fast five days i see results. Water three times per day, I use scott top soil and a little bit of peat moss and I love the looks it's thick great grass seed. New update 11/25/2024. Picture say it all, feels like rug am walking on2 1/2 inch cut. Best scott grass seed am please 100%. I highly recommend this grass seed

This stuff works very well just be sure you water it every day keep it soaked and it will make you happy !

Grew really fast, was doing great, until the heat hit. Despite watering every day, it just got clumpy, like 1/2 of it just disappeared?!? . Waste of money, now I have to re-seed.

Love love love this seed!!! Researched the hell out of seed. Tried 3 different seeds over the course of 7 months with very lil production. Tried some organic seed that worked a lil but this seed drastically out did its competition! We purchased a house that has about 1500 sq.ft. backyard and hadn’t been watered or cared for in a few yrs so it was ALL dirt! Hard slate dirt! We live realitively high up in the hills of Diamond Bar, in So Cal. So our yard gets direct sun from 6am til about 430pm... Sprinkled seed by hand (we don’t have a cool lil seed distributor and I actually prefer to lay it by hand to control the distribution a lil better) We layed an organic feed/fertilizer over the top of the first bag and needed a second bag of seed. Layed it about a week after the first but didn’t fertilize that batch for fear of killing new growth. We water every evening for about 45 seconds a section (soak but don’t flood) I’ve posted before and after pixs. The after pixs are about 4 weeks after laying bag #1 We’re still gonna lay another bag but we want to weed n feed first and can’t do so until all sprouts have been growing for 3 weeks. Next step is pulling and killing all of the weeds that your gardener inadvertently tends to track seeds of from house to house...but I’ll take it any-day!!! Prob going to do another full layer so our thatch is a lil thicker (I told you I’ve been researching for a min now...thatch is your area above soil but below the green of your grass😏) Good luck and hope this helps!

Light, fragile grass is growing from the Scotts Turf Builder seed I planted 6+ weeks ago, but no where near as much as I would have expected by this time. However, our weed game is now going really strong. I didn't read enough of the reviews initially. Apparently many are having this problem. It's unbelievable how many weeds are growing in the areas I put down seed. These are weeds I’ve never seen in our yard before, 12+ years living in our home. It's unreal. I’ve used a few other grass seed products in the past and can’t remember this ever occurring before. I thought a big name brand would do the job, but apparently not. UPDATE DEC 9 2029 We don’t have snow on the ground yet and I was outside walking in the backyard earlier and I realized you can’t tell where any of the grass seed was laid this summer. The only thing that did grow - a ton of weeds - I pulled as they came up, so there’s zero sign of me using this product at all. All the hay laid down, all the timed waterings...just a worthless product.
