I live in central Illinois where we have rainy springs, hot humid summers with little rain from late July through October. Lawns in central Illinois look green and robust through the spring but by August the summer drought has kicked in leaving lawns burned up, brown and dry. This includes watering once or twice a week. You just can’t beat the summer drought.This year I’ve decided to really try & have a nice looking lawn. In March I started raking up all the dead grass & debris from 2025. I have a 1/2 acre lot with most of the yard shaded. I raked the entire lot. After raking the back yard it looked like an apocalypse came through. I put down 10-15 bags of top soil plus peat moss. Very thin layers of each. Then I took my grass seed spreader & reseeded the lawn with Johnathan Green Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed. I did this in late March. Once I reseeded it I gently raked any bare spots to make sure the seed made contact with the dirt. After that I watered every day for 3 solid weeks. Every day I would look at my yard & nothing. No sprouting, nothing. Around the second week of April the grass seed started to sprout and the bare spots started to fill in. By the first of May my entire lawn looked 95% better! We’ve lived here 40 years & it’s the best spring lawn we’ve ever had! We are so pleased with this product!Moving forward I plan to stay on top of watering 1-2 times a week. In August-September I plan to reseed the entire lawn again focusing on any bare spots that don’t survive the summer drought including where squirrels dig holes in yard looking for whatever they are looking for. I hate squirrels. The lawn looks so good & then the squirrels invade it and dig small chunks of yard for some reason.So my lessons learned this spring are raking up all the dead stuff, amending the bare spots with top soil and peat moss where needed, watering every day through germination and not giving up. Things take time. I’m very happy with this product & anxious to see what my lawn looks like after the summer drought. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performed Great *by on Reviewed in the United States July 28, 2026* I've had incredible results with Jonathan Green seeds. Sun and shade, Founder’s Choice, and dense shade all have performed well and the color is dark green. Great for spot seeding and especially performs well where others have failed. I highly recommend JG! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A-OK *by on Reviewed in the United States January 15, 2025* This grass seed is pretty good. The growth rate is OK and the grass looks great once it starts growing. It is sometimes a little hard to get started and wants to die, but if you consistently water and use good topsoil you’ll be good. The price on this seat is very good compared to local hardware store stores. ## Frequently Bought Together - Jonathan Green (12007) Black Beauty Sun & Shade Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed, 50 lb - Jonathan Green (10610) Black Beauty Dense Shade Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (25 lb) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/458233167-black-beauty-sun-and-shade-grass-seed-50-lb](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/458233167-black-beauty-sun-and-shade-grass-seed-50-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
