Best grass seed to buy
Tried Scotts several times and not much luck, Pennington seed for whatever reason works way better, grass looks amazing

Planted the seed over a month, still no grass
We tilled the front area and raked and planted the Bermudia grass and what was left we done the back area. It's been over a month with watering it and still no grass. What are we to do now, Smart Seed does not work here on the coast of North Carolina where it is hot and dry.

Hello! Please reach out to Customer Service at 1-800-285-7333 to speak with us so we can get a bit more detail with your issues. Depending on where on the coast you are, it may have been too cool at night for a warm season grass like Bermuda.

Works fast
I tried to grow grass in a spot where a stump was removed in my front lawn. The area was patchy and looked terrible. I followed the instructions with this seed. Applied in the fall and started to see growth fast. Definitely recommend.

9 days no sprouting
We overseed every fall. August weather and dogs typically do are yard in. I used a 20lb bag in a 100ft by 35ft back yard. There is only one spot that has gotten a slim amount of sprouts. The seed looks soft and like mush since the fertilizer coat is off of it. Bad seed.. Very disappointed in this product.

This performed very well in part sun/part shade area of my front lawn where I recently removed six large shrubs.
Our soil was in good shape, but I still added about half a yard of sweet peet to help amend it and aid the growing process.
I noticed growth after roughly eight days after watering twice consistently per day.
There are still a couple of bare spots, but overall I’m very pleased with how this seed fared.

When we bought our house, it had Bermuda grass under two mature Oaks, which resulted in acompletely dead front lawn. We cleared the acorns, added some compost, then seeded with Pennington Dense Shade, and added another layer of fine compost and we started seeing germination. I don't have a before picture, but imagine brown dirt with hard acorn shells and a complete lack of green. I am attaching the after picture. The bare spots seen are not a germination problem but a site issue, where rainwater falls from the branches abov
e, displacing the seed. We will overseed in fall and spring after the trees are trimmed so we will have no bare spots. The compost layer on top and watering 3 times is key as we have had unsuccessful attempts before. The compost holds moisture and provides it when the seeds need it.

Super easy to apply and worked quickly. Application was easier than I expected and I like that fertilizer is built in to save a step.

Didn't sprout for me in Pennsylvania
I planted this seed well over a month ago. I expected to see new growth in a week or two (label says 8-14 days), but didn't. I thought that because the weather was cool, germination might be delayed. We had lots of rain, and I watered when temps rose and the soil dried out. Overall, I saw, literally, a few isolated blades of new grass.
I was very disappointed in this product. Money down the drain, and wasted a good spring when the turf could have been establishing itself.
