scott step seed

Bermudagrass, Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, and tall fescue are the primary varieties listed across the available seed options.

Germination times vary by product and species, commonly ranging from about 5 to 30 days across the options.

Patch-style products list coverage up to about 85 sq. ft. Bagged seed options show new‑lawn coverage from the low hundreds up to over 1,300 sq. ft., with some bags listing overseeding coverage into the thousands of square feet.

Most instructions call for keeping the soil consistently moist—typically watering daily or as needed—for about three weeks or until seedlings reach roughly 2 inches. Some patch products advise saturating mulch until it darkens and keeping traffic off newly seeded areas until grass reaches about 3 inches.

Several mixes combine seed with fertilizer and a soil improver or mulch. Some patch products specifically list controlled‑release fertilizer, mulch, a tackifier, and a protectant included alongside the seed.
