    Disappointed

    Bought a dethatcher, then aerated, seeded with Scotts sun and shade, used starter fertilizer and got poor results after over 25 days. Began early September in the state of CT. Waste of money and time.

    not all the seeds work... 70-75%...

    I purchased the largest bag available and used it for 1/3 of the sqft area advertised hoping that it was going to even fuller than normal... i followed the spreader and watering instructions to the dot... the results after 3-4 weeks were not what I expected... Several areas with blanks..... so now i will have to reseed in all the blank spaces... I am wondering what would have happened if i used it in the area advertised... the blanks would have been even more...

    We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix with Root Building Nutrients, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. We want you to feel confident in our products, so we're here to help. This grass seed germinates best when temperatures are consistently in the 65-80°F range. Soil temperatures must be at least 55°F and daytime temperatures need to consistently be above 65°F. Cool nighttime temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination. Apply Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix with Root Building Nutrients in an area that provides full sun to medium shade. This seed mix requires at least 4 hours direct or filtered sunlight per day. We stand behind our products, which is why we offer a product guarantee. If, for any reason, you're not happy with the results after using this product, you're entitled to get your money back.

    Big Disappointment with Scotts Sun & Shade Mix.

    Tried it on both areas Sun & Shade. Works great in the shade, watered daily. The sunny areas was a big Disappointment. A lot of work for seed preparation with 80% less coverage results in the sun.

    Hello. We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix with Root Building Nutrients and appreciate your feedback. When making an application of Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix with Root-Building Nutrition, this grass seed germinates best when soil temperatures are above 55°F and air temperatures are consistently above 60°F. In the spring, it takes a lot of consistently warm temperatures to warm up the soil. Any weed control used prior to seeding, such as using the crabgrass preventer, will prevent seed from germinating. It can also take 6-14 days to notice results, but up to a month for all the seeds to germinate. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

    Still waiting

    It’s been two weeks and some days, still waiting to see if the grass will come. Is this normal?!

    Hi, we're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix and appreciate your feedback. You should start seeing germination in 6-14 days under ideal growing conditions. Will take about a month for all the seed to germinate. This grass seed will germinate best when temperatures are consistently in the 65-80°F range. Both excessive moisture and not enough moisture can inhibit seed germination. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

    Worst seed ever

    Don't waste your money. Never came up. Followed all directions and watered twice daily. On another part of lawn, I use general purpose generic sun and shade and that came up in 7-9 days

    The worst

    Have been a faithful user until they changed to "combo." The worst possible product. Grass did not grow, weeds flourished and finally found the original just seed. If I can't find just the seed in the future, I will have to change to a new company's product. Just the worst.

    Mediocre results

    I did everything right from the seeding instructions to watering as recommended, but have had average success at best. Started mowing and hope the grass will spread.

    These products are Excellent! Fantastic Results!

    Last fall, we resurfaced our entire front lawn first by using Round up to kill everything & removed debris & dead roots with sharp thatch rake, scraping/regrading low areas, seeded, and fertilized with Scotts Triple Action. (The lawn was mostly weeds & dead grass from drought) . The grass came in beautifully, as weeds were effectively controlled weeds (some crabgrass was stubborn). This spring, we used this fertilizer first as a preventative before temperatures were suitable for seeding. A few weeks later, after removing large dying weeds, too big to leave in, we applied the 3-in-One fertilizer a SECOND time and over-seeded with the Scott’s special PA State Blend covering any bare patches. Watering daily, along with some April showers, the grass has never looked better! The best part? The grass is green on OUR side!😆☺️ I love that this fertilizer is safe for seeding AND does a great job killing those pesky weeds, ESPECIALLY nutsedge, which is very difficult to eradicate. Thank you, Scotts! Tip: If directions are followed carefully, the outcome is well worth the effort!

    Use premium seed (Lesco blend) instead.

    Bought the large bag hoping to seed a somewhat shady area in my backyard. For whatever reason, germination on growth was poor. Wish I could return but three out the bag and receipt. My recommendation is to buy Lesco which I used for my front yard which grew great.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade PhysBlend Mix and appreciate your feedback. Fluctuating temperatures in the early spring can delay germination. For best results, we recommend applying this in the late spring when temperatures are consistently over 65 degrees. Be sure to keep the seed moist as the germinate. If they dry out they will not germinate. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee.

    Feeling let down

    I have been a customer of your year-round program for several years. This year, you offered new entrants a free spreader. And left your long-time customers with their old, rusty spreaders. Not what I would consider fair or good customer relations.

    Very disappointed in sun & shade grass seed.

    Last spring I spread Scott’s sun & shade grass seed over a 100 square yard area in my lawn. The seed was planted in fresh lawn soil. During the summer and fall, the location looked wonderful. Now this spring, the area is dead as it was before I seeded it. I followed all instructions, and I am very disappointed. It’s like there wasn’t any perennial seed in the mixture. I paid more, thinking Scott’s seed was reputable, but I’m thinking I was mistaken.
