Have been using this for years to address winter damage near driveway, and generally to overseed the lawn. Great results with little effort.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Contractors Mix and appreciate your feedback.

Depending on conditions and the seed type, the grass can take from 6 to 14 days to start to germinate. Germination requires air temperatures consistently above 65 degrees. Cool nighttime temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. Cold weather will delay germination but will not hurt the seed. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. If a weed control is used before seeding, it will either prevent the seeds from germination outright or destroy the seedlings as they emerge.

We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. Scotts
    Terrible. Returned.
    Never returned grass seed before this. I used one handful and not one seed germinated in perfect conditions.

    doesn't appear to work at all
    planted the seed on April 22nd and watered it daily - sometimes twice daily when the sun started drying out the ground. After 2+ weeks, nothing. Replanted the area on May 11th and again watered it daily. So far still not a blade of grass

    Under 1/3 is good seed
    If you read the label and know seed, this product is a joke. 50% of the 20 lbs is coating, 12.5% is annual ryegrass which means one season and it’s done, the rest has 80% germination. Do the math. .8(37.5)=30. A measly 30% of your 20lbs is good seed, or 6 lbs. you can get 10 lbs of amazing seed for the price of this stuff

      We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Contractors Mix and appreciate your feedback.

      For best results, apply in the spring or fall when air temperatures are consistently between 60-80 degrees. The warmer the soil, the faster the germination. If temperatures have been lower than necessary for seed germination, the seed is still good and will most likely germinate once temperatures warm up.

      This worked great. I had a very large bare spot in my back yard for 2 years and nothing I used would grow grass and I pretty much gave up then decided I'd try one more thing and I purchased this contractor mix. Within 6 days I had grass starting. I raked the area first then spread the grass seed then put s small amount of top soil down and watered it every day. Its know been 10 days and I have 3 inches of grass growing. This is a great product.

      Pleasantly surprised with the speed at which this seed germinated and is coming in. This has been a difficult area to seed and am having great results even during a cool and rainy spring.

      Crab grass!
      Seeded my entire lawn after thatching and busting my tail, to sadly see the seed mix is trash quality loaded with crab grass seed. Now I’m trying to rid it organically or using some other method than more chem. Stay away and spend more on quality seed to abate an additional problem.
