About This Product

Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Sun and Shade is a revolutionary grass seeding product designed to fill in bare spots on your lawn. This Sun and Shade grass seed grows in tough conditions, including full sun, dense shade, high traffic areas and on slopes. Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair consists of high performance grass seed, continuous release lawn food, and super-absorbent growing mulch material. Scotts EZ Seed Patch and Repair Sun and Shade also includes a tackifier to help reduce seed wash-away and a protectant to help keep seedlings safe from harmful diseases. There are three easy steps to success: 1) prep the area by removing dead grass and loosening hard soil, 2) evenly apply EZ Seed so the area is mostly covered but bare ground is still visible, and 3) saturate with water until no more water is being absorbed and mulch turns dark brown. Plant seed in the spring or fall when daily average soil temperatures are consistently between 55°F and 70°F, or air temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. For best results, keep kids, pets, and lawn mowers off newly planted seedlings until the grass is 3 inches high.

Questions & Answers

Will scotts EZSEED HURT THE PET AFTER YOU PUT IT DOWN
ByOct 9, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

There should be no harm if a pet walks through the area after application as Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair is simply seed, fertilizer and mulch. It is recommended that heavy traffic stay off of the newly seeded areas until the third or fourth mowing.

    Is it okay to put manure down underneath then spread the seed?
    ByOct 8, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi, Thanks for your question on using Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun & Shade. No, I recommend using a Starter Fertilizer such as Scotts Turf Builder for New Lawns. Spread the starter fertilizer on the exact same day you sow the seed to stimulate rapid, thick root development.

      Can this seed be used in a spreader
      BySep 13, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Thank you for reaching out about Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun & Shade. Although EZ Seed is primarily designed for patching, you can apply it using a spreader by following a few simple steps. First, adjust your spreader to its highest available setting, and measure the total square footage of the target area. Next, determine the required amount of EZ Seed based on your measurements and pour it into the spreader: - 2 lbs: Covers 42 sq ft (3.9 m²) - 3.75 lbs: Covers 80 sq ft (7.4 m²) - 10 lbs: Covers 210 sq ft (19.5 m²) - 14.5 lbs: Covers 310 sq ft (28.8 m²) - 20 lbs: Covers 420 sq ft (39 m²) Once loaded, walk over the area in alternating, perpendicular directions until the spreader is completely empty. Take care not to over-apply the product, as applying it too thickly causes overcrowding that prevents the grass seed from germinating or establishing properly. If you need any further assistance, feel free to contact us at 877-220-3089. We’d be happy to help!

          Should I use asked blanket with this?
          ByAug 17, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          There is no need to use a blanket or any other kind of covering with this seed. The mulch that's included with the mixture serves as sufficient cover and has the added benefit of retaining water to keep your seeds moist.

            How often must I water
            ByAug 14, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello and thanks for your question. Whenever the product is light brown, it needs to be watered. If it is dark brown, no water is needed. Typically this translates into watering 1-2 times a day, 3 times if the weather is hot and/or dry. To get the best results, Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun And Shade requires a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight. (Note: There are very few exceptions to this rule, and they rarely come up).

              How do you use this
              ByAug 9, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Thanks for reaching out about Scotts Ez-Seed Patch & Repair. This product is a lawn patching product and not meant for over-seeding or reseeding the entire lawn. - Prepare the area by removing dead grass and loosening hard soil. - Apply the product so the area is mostly covered, but the bare ground is still visible (1/16" to 1/8"). The mulch in the product will expand when watered the first time, which is why bare ground should still be visible upon initial application. - Water until the area appears dark brown and no longer expanding. When more water is needed, the product will turn light brown. We'd love the opportunity to gather some more information and offer personalized assistance. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714. We're here to help you achieve your lawn goals!

                Answer This Question

                Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun And Shade is a lawn patching product that requires a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight. To get the best results, water immediately after putting the product down. When you water it, the mulch will turn dark brown and expand as it absorbs the water. Whenever the product mulch is light brown, it needs to be watered. If it is dark brown, no water is needed. (Note: There are very few exceptions to this rule, and they rarely come up).

                  Failed to stay alive despite watering multiple times a day for months! What a waste of money and effort! Worse thing is Home Depot would not refund money despite the label saying its guarantee to grow

                  The Scotts EZ seed patch and repair sun and shade is very easy to use. It has this mulch type of dirt layer already included with the seeds so you simply have to spread the seeds across your lawn and it grows into beautiful, full grass. You don't need to use it add anything else, which is very convenient. We have been using this for almost 6 years for our front lawn and back lawn and it works great to fill in any gaps our sprinklers don't cover.

                  Weed filled seeds
                  Mixed review because I added this to bare dirt and I did get green growth but it was not grass. Everywhere I added this material came up with a type of clover or weed. This is not a plant I have else where that may have creeped in so I'm assuming it is mixed in this product. Everything was quick to come up without much effort. Grass shoots came up early but seem to be getting choked out by this cover. Maybe this batch was contaminated with other weeds. Not sure if I need to tear this out and start with a different product or let it grow out.

                    Excellent product. The area I used it on had very little grass because of all the trees. Mainly dirt, stones and tree roots. Now I have thick, beautiful grass !!

                    Gone through two big expensive bags and no grass. I don't recommend. This spot was seeded many times and covered with straw.

                      I used Scotts EZ-Seed to fill in all the bare spots in my backyard and it worked just as described. After 2 weeks, fine new grass blades had filled in all the bare spots and my lawn looked great again. I always trust the Scotts name and will use their products in the future. Thank you!
