Jonathan Green (10820) Fast Grow Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (3 lb)

I wasn't expecting much but this worked great. I had a pool put in last summer turning my yard into a big mud slide. I temporarily put fake grass down on most of it. But this summer I wanted to see if I could get some grass to grow. I have a lawn guy, but I still have a deck to do so I decided to give this a try and he could do his magic if it didn't work when he starts his service later this month after the deck is up.I must admit I didn't follow many of the directions. I just sprinkled some seed a couple of weeks ago when I knew there would be a rainy week. Other than the rain the weather wasn't great, we were going from 80 degrees all the way down to 30 some nights. I figured if it didn't work I can try again. I only did about half my yard to see how it does. Two weeks later and it's growing nicely almost everywhere except for a couple of areas with really compacted clay soil. Did I mention we have horrible soil? I had another bag so I aerated those spots and raked some top soil in before I sprinkled more seed. I also added seed to more of my yard except for the area where they will be working on my deck. I am more than thrilled with the result. Excited that this year I'll have grass in my yard again.

The grass grows within a week and by the second week you can see the growth in my photos. One thing that helps is I watered twice a day and then we had a week of rain.

I ordered two bags of this seed last spring and had a decent beginning of a lawn a few months later. I started with pretty much just dirt and a couple trees and ended up with a nice covering, certainly not a lush lawn but something that looks like a lawn from the street, mows easily and grows quickly. I have an average sized front yard, about 60X30 and two bags of this seed did a good job. I'll add more this spring. What I especially liked about this particular seed is that it sprouted within a couple weeks and actually looked like grass within a month. The birds didn't eat much - I did cover it withloose soil - and it grows very well in the shaded area of my Oak and Sugar Maple. I let the seed go almost two months before cutting the first time in order to grow some deep roots and keep the mower deck up about 3" with a weekly trim during the summer and fall. We'll see how well it does after this Wisconsin winter it's first full year on the ground.

I lazily put this seed down, didn’t tend to my lawn, cover or anything just sprinkled on top and let the rain do its thing.I was feeling discouraged until I looked at my camera from the day I laid it 1/30/25 to current day 3/21/25 and realized it has taken off wonderfully and my yard is greatly improving! Looking forward to correctly finishing it in the portion that could still use some more.I used one full bag throughout my yard.

Thought this would be much better than advertised. Just your typical seed.

This is the only grass seed I ever buy any more. It has a mix of annual and perennial grasses, so it germinates within a few days, then the other grasses start germinating as the first annual mix is maturing. Stays green, and is a good value for the money. I would highly recommend this product. Thanks again, Amazon. -Bud

Should be called no grow. I planted the seeds to spot fill several areas of the yard and NOT one bladenof grass came up, even though other seed I had also just planted sprouted fine. This seed was old or defective

Only grass seed I buy anymore, very easy to use and is very green soft grass. The picture speaks for itself
