The best seed to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dark area grass seed ! I tried other seeds , only to waste time and money. I have a large tree that has a 10x10 area of yard in the shade. I would say it’s almost 3/4 of the day in the shade. I raked to ruff up the soil. Threw the seed down. Then I watered. And watered. Within a few days I seen sprouts. Then I had grass. It coved the bare area nicely.

Improving the grass in shady areas.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I seeded around a large maple tree and will over seed in the spring. I got good germination and looking to thicken the grass some more in the spring. The tree does provide a lot of shade so hope to see nice results, especially around the edges of the tree.

Grass can grow in shade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have many trees on the property. They create quite a bit of shade which makes growing grass difficult to impossible. I was ready to give up when I saw this grass seed for shade, so I gave it one last try. It seems to be doing pretty well for a start; I'm hoping it will improve over time.

Deep woods grass possible?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I have this section of lawn or rather dirt that borders the neighbors woods that is always bare of living things. The trees are fairly dense in their forest and thus shade the area most of the day. Trying out Scott’s dense shade mix grass seed to see if this can survive. It only requires 3 hours of sunlight which I think I have, we'll see. I ruffed up the soil and spread the seed using a Scott’s hand held spreader, then put down some Scott’s starter fertilizer. It took while for the sprouts to appear ~ 2/3 weeks and it’s a bit spotty, I’ll put some more down in the spring. So right now it’s a wait and see how it does in the spring as I have plenty of sun now that the leaves are down. I’ll update accordingly.

it works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The yard had some bare spots that really needed some help and was not surprised that Scotts has a good product like this seed. I did aerate and put down starter fertilizer and already have a whole bunch of new grass coming thru. It is filling in really nice. The dark green blades are blending in with the rest of the grass. You wont be disappointed. Don't forget to water every day until germinated.

Worst grass seed for Georgia lawn!
Planted the Southern Gold grass seed last fall after extensive ground prep, fertilizer, watering etc. Came up lush and green, absolutely beautiful.....until June. In spite of perfect natural rains and mild temperatures for Georgia the lawn turned ugly brown! Every other yard looks great due to the adequate rainfall but our lawn is hideous!! Southern Gold this is not!!! Advertised as resistant to heat and drought...NOT. Looked at the package and its grown in Oregon....what??? I guess its Southern Oregon Gold. Now I have to spend money, labor, time all over again! NEVER buy SCOTTS anything again!

Response from ScottsCustomerCareSep 25, 2020
We are sorry that you are unhappy with Scotts Turf Builder Dense Shade Mix Grass Seed. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. Cool nighttime temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. We offer a guarantee that extends to all of our products. If this interests you, we ask that you contact us at https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca.

I use a lot of grass seed for my home.
With three dogs one American Bull, a Black Lab and our new Tibetan Terrier, you would too. Turf builder grass seed is the only way to go.

Scott's Dense Shade Grass Seed
My side yard area is bordered by trees so it does not get a full day's sun and I really wanted to be able to have grass in that area instead of dirt. I followed the directions on the bag and now have some pretty healthy looking grass growing. I added more seed from where a rain storm washed some away and am hopeful that the new seed will grow just as well as what I planted less than a week prior. I am very satisfied with the growth and the potential new look to the areas I seeded.
