Pennington Smart Patch Dense Shade Grass Seed 10 LB, Bare Spot Repair with Mulch and Fertilizer

The seeds did not sprout quickly, but we figured out that the sprinkler system was washing the seeds away with its force. With a little modification of the water supply, we suddenly had surprisingly good new grass growth, and are delighted to finally have grass in the part of the lawn that NEVER gets direct sunlight. It was easy to prepare the ground, spread the seed, and follow up. We're delighted.

This stuff works fast and made a big difference in our yard. We recently had some work done, and the bobcat left parts of the yard completely torn up. It was nothing but mud, and I honestly was not sure how quickly it would recover. I put this down, and within about a week we could already see new grass starting to come up. That alone was impressive given how damaged the area was. The combination of seed and mulch really seems to help it take hold and get started quickly, even in rough spots. It is not fully grown in yet, but based on how fast it started, I am confident it will fill in nicely. I am already planning to buy more to finish the area. If you are dealing with bare spots or a yard that has been torn up, this is definitely worth trying.

Good value for money. Grass slow in growing, but had a nice thickness. Good Quality. Nice texture. If you're battling between Scotts and Pennington for your next purchase, Pennington was the hands down winner for me. Would buy again.

I don’t really write review frequently unless it’s really good or bad product. This one is the case of good product that I feel I have to reward it by giving a 5 stars review. I have a heavy shade area being bald at my house that nothing be able to grow in that area for years. I purchased this grass seeds for shade just to play around to see if I have the luck this time. I was following the instructions to prepare the ground and planted seeds. I can already see they started to germinate by keep the soil well moistened for about a week. Now my grass is much visible by 2 weeks mark. The germination rate is very high, good quality seeds for sure. I have confidence about this product will help me make my garden much alive now. Strongly recommended.

Did not take very well and grow grass from the seeds.

Crappy, pure plain and easy to review, this product is lousy... I have tried with 3 different applications of this grass seed and supplier, every last time my grass died...not from a lack of water, the grass seed does sprout, but then, its starts to die, again I am watering twice a day, so its not from a lack of poor watering or missing a day...I will try to get a refund but I highly doubt Pennington will honor their product...special note: yea the price is good but so what, if you can't get a good result, the time and effort to grow a good lawn goes out the window, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Had a chronic problem area along the side of the house where it NEVER gets sunlight due to the shade from the building and some large trees. I had tried various other seeds and planting solutions. This is the one that finally came through! High quality seeds that germinated fully and provided a lush lawn. They take a while to grow.. not for the impatient among us. Plus make sure you use some peat moss to cover the seeds initially so they stay moist and don't get eaten by the birds.. But after a couple weeks the sprouts came up and within another week or two the lawn looked great and it's been over three months now and looks wonderful. We even had a large family party a couple of weeks ago and the lawn stood up to lot of foot traffic. Very happy with this seed and will use it again!

I would give zero stars, followed the instructions for planting that was listed on the bag and went above and beyond, watered for several days, it's been 14 days now and not one single seed has germinated of approximately 2k square feet I can't find even one blade of new grass I did contact the manufacturer through the Amazon return section, the company has returned the contact Email with a reference number, they want a whole list of information before they'll do a refund, I mean several Questions that require a return answer, one is a picture of the barcode on the bag ( will that got trashed the day I planted the seeds ) , I emailed them back and asked if they also wanted my first born child and my right nut,,, ridiculous, I told them to just keep the $30 and to keep their worthless products, too much of a hassle. Just go to tractor supply and get your seeds, but don't buy Pennington brands Update 03/24/2025 I suppose I'm gonna have to eat crow, I give it 5 stars,21 days later after planting and it appears that all of the seeds have germinated and looking very good. Have a good day
