Scotts Turf Builder THICK'R LAWN Grass Seed, Fertilizer, and Soil Improver for Tall Fescue, 4,000 sq. ft., 40 lbs.

My backyard had a lot of bare spots as I have dogs that use the bathroom back there. This has not made grass grow in all of the spots but it has helped with a lot of them. Also, the grass was rather worn and thin in areas and this has really improved those areas and the grass is thick and deep green now. I will definitely purchase this again next spring. I feel that it has helped a lot and worth the money. It does make the grass grow like crazy though and I’ve had to mow it more often but that’s a good thing.

UPDATE 1/29/2020: I bought a 3rd bag to finish replacing the rest of the crabgrass in the backyard. This product has worked well.UPDATE 1/4/2020: Grass has been growing well after I learned the watering schedule. It is also important to note (and the instructions don't mention this) that temperature must be above 65F for the grass to germinate in 1-2 weeks. So, during the California winter where temperatures dipped to below 60F, I did not see new grass grow as abundantly as in August/September. When applying these grass seeds, do NOT use any "weed controls, especially crabgrass preventers" in the treated areas, according to the manufacturer. I bought ANOTHER bag (at full price) to complete another large part of the backyard.ORIGINAL REVIEW from 9/2019:Crab grass... the uncomfortable type of "grass".I have crab grass that's been filling up our entire backyard ever since we bought our home six years ago. Crab grass grows fast and is an invasive weed. Because it's weed, I learned that you can slowly kill crab grass by watering less often and deeper into the soil so that only good grass' roots can get water. With that in mind, I wanted to put that knowledge to the test by ripping out some large portions of crab grass from the back yard. (TIP: water the soil a bit so it's easier to rip the crab grass out)Once the ground was bare soil, I loosened it up a bit and pulled out any remaining crab grass/dead weed. Next, I sprinkled this Scotts Turf Builder onto a small section to see what would happen. NOTHING GREW. I was disappointed. Then I read the instructions on the packaging:1. Spread the seeds/fertilizer into the ground2. Loosen/turn the soil3. Water daily as needed to keep the soil moist for the first 2 weeksI changed my sprinkler to water every 2 days for 5 minutes. End result? Grass grew after a week, and now it has increasingly become fuller! See photos for the results!Once the grass has grown acceptably, I will change the sprinkler system to water less frequently again (but deeper through cycle soaking) in order to starve the crab grass weed of water and to help the new grass establish deeper roots.SUMMARY: water often in the first 2 weeks to help sprout the new grass. Once it's established, water less frequently (but cycle soak) so the new grass grows deeper roots.

Grass died in February. Threw some of this Scott’s 3 N 1 & my grad looks better than ever! I live in Cali so I was skeptical because of the heat but It grew back nonetheless. I started seeing results in about 1 week. Took about 3-4weeks to grow back completely. Watered multiple times a day The first week then only once a day after that.

I bought this to fix some bare spots on my lawn of course. I put down a thin bed of Scott's Lawn Soil, then put this seed mix down, then covered that with a thin layer of of Scott's Lawn soil. I fenced off the area with temporary construction fence to keep the dogs off of it and watered twice daily. After 2 weeks, nothing new was sprouting. The grass that had been there was much taller from the additional water and probably the fertilizer in this mix and that in the Lawn Soil. After 3 weeks, a few new grass blades had sprouted. After 4 weeks, no new blades sprouting but the initial ones were taller and the original grass that was there was darker green. After 5 weeks, still the same, hardly any new grass.I got tired of waiting for this stuff to sprout, bought regular grass seed and threw that down......10 days later, that new grass seed was growing well and filling the bald spots.This stuff was a waste of time. Just re-seed with regular grass seed and save yourself some time.I gave it 3 stars because the fertilizer in the mix seemed to work.

I have used this product for many years. It works. I usually mow my lawn to about 2 inches then spread the seed out over the lawn. My lawn isn't sparce but it's kind of like an overseed. Comes with seeds, dirt and fertilizer. Do it when you expect rain then you don't have to water it in. My lawn is the best on the block because of Scott's and Turf builder fertilizer. Buy a small bag first and see if it works. Good luck!

To repair my lawn, this is a great product
