## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for shady lawns; grew well, no patches!!
*by V***S on April 19, 2017*

This stuff was *amazing*!! I planted when the weather was probably a little too cool so it took about two weeks for it to really get going but it sure did come out beautiful. I was so pleased with all of the tiny little blades growing out from the dirt, then the subsequent lush green grass that followed. Did not come in patchy at all. I tilled and aerated the dirt with hand tools, laid down some turf builder, spread the seed, and added more turf builder on top to give it a good head start. Would certainly buy again.PS this type of grass was specifically chosen for a heavily shaded area of the backyard that had actually been pretty bare because of the lack of sun. From the photo, you can really see that the lawn closest to the camera is all fresh new grass, with the other half of the lawn covered in established grass that actually gets sunlight. I wish I had photos from the tiny emerging blades of grass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grass is now in it's third week and I am very pleased with the results
*by N***K on June 9, 2016*

the seed germinated / sprouted quickly. I had grass growing in just about 5-6 days. Grass is now in it's third week and I am very pleased with the results.I covered an area of about 1000 sq ft. I just spread the seed by hand or you can use a spreader. Then I used a metal tine rake to rough up the soil so soil was loosened and seeds would be in the soil. Then patted down the soil with my feet (looked like I was dancing in the yard to my neighbors). Watered the area thourougly that day and then the next morning and evening for 3 days I watered that area adequately. And voila, in 4 days I could see sprouts. But keep the area moist by watering a little morning and evening depending on you soil. I have sandy soil so it absorbs water like a sponge. Or if you have too much sun and heat keep it watered because if the ground drys out while seeds are sprouting or trying to sprout, they are likely to die back. But is not difficult and if you have a shaded area this will work great for ground covering. Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect grass for low sun and shady areas
*by R***S on September 27, 2017*

Perfect grass for shade and low sum areas, will sprout very quickly. grows well during cool temps and is among first grasses to to green up in spring. Fine blades are very attractive. Doesn't do well in extreme temps or when dry but will recovery quickly. Marked this batch down one star as it had more bad seeds than the rest.
