Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed High Traffic Mix with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Self-Repairs, 2.4 lbs.

This worked way better than the other scott brand turf builder I bought. You get what you pay for. Definately worth paying more.

I waited a year before posting a review to see how well the seed was “self repairing”. It definitely worked for me and I can’t recommend it enough. Wow!

I have used Scotts brand of fertilizer for many years, using the different varieties depending on the season.I have a huge problem, due to the mild winter here, with excessive weed growth over the winter. So I use this every winter to not only nourish the grass but to get the crabgrass and other weeds under control for the spring. I use this in the late fall and in early spring and this helps quite a bit with the weeds. You do have to keep an eye out for new spots, but I combine this with hit the new places with weed b gone and this double team helps a lot.I have never had an issue with burning the grass. If you follow the directions and use a spreader to put onto your yard, you will have no issues. Do not over sow the fertilizer or you will burn your lawn. I apply some variety of fertilizer every 3 to 4 months, with the Summerguard version in the summer and this Winterguard in late fall and Spring.Make sure you lightly water your grass immediately before you apply the fertilizer as that helps the fertilizer control the weeds. Also water your lawn thoroughly a couple days later to help the nutrients get into your lawn.This 40 lb. bag covers a large area and I do think it is a bit pricy, but that is most fertilizers these days, but it is comparably priced at around 45-50 bucks at the box stores.4 stars

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 #1We’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!

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.

I had bare spots all along my fence where my dogs run. I put down the seed, covered with hay and watered. A few weeks later I had grass! Even while the dogs continued to run! Two years later and it is still lush and green. This year we took up a brick path and put more of this seed down. Again the dogs ran across it EVERY DAY and two months later I have beautiful grass!

I followed directions to every detail. I kept the area moist at all times.I purchased the build up grass in brown/dead spots and after 3 weeks not a single seed sprouted from the entire bag.I used evenly over dead spots, bare spots and green areas and absolutely nothing!!Don’t know if it was a bad batch or seed but I do know that I am out $50 and a lot of extra water 💦 over the course of 3 weeks.
