Prep, Apply, Water

Using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed can help get you on your way to a beautiful Scotts lawn! Here are some quick steps to make sure you get it started right.

Prep

To prep, rake area to loosen the top layer of soil and remove dead grass. For best results, add a thin layer of Scotts Turf Builder LawnSoil before applying grass seed.

Apply

Use a Scotts spreader to apply seed. Lightly rake the seed into the soil. For best results, apply Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass.

Water

Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the advantage of Scotts exclusive grass seed coating?

A: Scotts WaterSmart PLUS Coating Technology absorbs water, feeds and protects your newly planted grass seed.

It absorbs twice as much water, and holds it twice as long, as uncoated seed to help prevent the seed from drying out – even if you miss a day of watering.

It feeds with essential nutrients that jumpstart growth, resulting in taller, thicker, greener grass.

It protects with a fungicide to help keep seedlings safe from harmful diseases that can attack newly planted areas.

Q: How long does it take for my newly planted grass to begin growing?

A: Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns will begin to grow in 6-14 days, but can take 30-60 days to become established depending on seasonal conditions. Make sure you continue to water as directed.

Q: How much do I need to water my new grass?

A: Watering is crucial for seeding success. Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall.

Q: When is the best time to plant Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns?

A: Cool-season grasses grow best when temperatures are between 60-80°F. Early fall is the best time to seed because of its shorter days, cooler nights and heavier dews. Your most successful seeding time is right around Labor Day. Seeding 2 weeks before or after that easy-to-remember holiday gives your new seedlings time to build strong roots before the winter. Spring is also a great time to plant cool-season grasses because of its moderate temperatures and heavier rainfall.

Q: How soon can I mow after planting new grass?

A: You can mow the seedlings when they reach 3 inches in height.

Q: When can I use weed killers and/or weed preventers on my new grass?

A: If you want to prevent weeds from invading while growing new grass, we recommend using Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass + Weed Preventer. Never apply weed preventers to your lawn before planting grass seed unless they have been designed to be used when seeding.

All weed control products are different, but in general, it is recommended to wait until the new grass has been mowed at least 4 times before using a crabgrass preventer or other weed control product (unless the product is designed to be used when seeding). Always refer to the product label for specific information related to weed control products you are using.

Q: What types of grass seed are contained in Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Dense Shade Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns ?

A: The Dense Shade Mix for Tall Fescue Lawns contains specially selected seed varieties.

Tall fescue is a wide-blade grass that grows in clumps, has deep roots and grows in both areas of sun and shade. Tall fescue thrives in high-traffic areas and has low water requirements.

User questions & answers

Question:	What kind of grass is this? Would like to see the back of the bag to see
Answer:	How do I take a picture? There are 9+ ingrediences. I love the grass. Thick and a beautiful shade of green. That's about all I can say. I love it and it was my first time planting grass seed. I'm very pleased with the grass.
Question:	What variety of grass seed is in this mix (i.e. %s
Answer:	Hi, I am so I can't give you percentages of mix. The seeds are covered with a blue coating of fertilizer, which stays on for about 5 days even watering 3 times a day. This also keeps the birds from eating 20% of it. This is the 5th bag I have ordered as I have 1/3 acre of all weeds and dirt when I recently bought my house. It is an excellent blend and covers very well and spreads out and fills in. I have large areas that get 90% shade and it grows almost as fast as the seeds in full sun. Very happy with this seed. Can't tell you the blend, but it looks beautiful and no weeds at all. The grass comes up fast and full. I think You would be very happy with this product. Sincerely, Mark
Question:	Is this grass okay for Arizona,s dry climate
Answer:	No. The grass is similar to a winter rye grass that that does OK in the cooler winter months, but died in Texas as soon as it got hotter and dry. I would not recommend this grass for any southern hot and dry climate.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do these seeds need to be covered with soil in order to germinate? Thanks
Answer:	It is better to be covered with soil
Question:	Have shady yard in ne ga mountains town of sautee. Will this grass work
Answer:	In central Wisconsin we planted this in a very shady area where we had mostly moss growing because the grass just could not grow there. It has done very well and filled in everywhere except an area of about a five foot radius directly beneath a large sugar maple tree. The patch there is probably due also to the nutrients and water being consumed by the tree. We were prepared for failure with this but were pleasantly surprised by how well it filled in. We have very extreme temperatures and this has not been a problem. It is also an attractive grass (blade thickness) and germinated well, grew quickly with adequate watering. Took a second summer to fill in to a dense cover after planting in late summer.
Question:	What is the main difference between this mix vs the "dense shade mix for tall fescue lawns" (model 18341). i'm confused
Answer:	I think I may have made a mistake and used this. I have cool season grass but I don’t think it is tall fescue. I have more bluegrass than anything.
Question:	How does it look the second year
Answer:	Dead, but.... I live in central Florida and this grass came up great and then died during the summer heat. I planted it again in November, again it came up very well, and it looks pretty good now. I'm hoping it will live through March when I sell my house. I know it will not survive the summer heat here in Florida. It is not a southern grass. I have no complaints about the seed. It's just not suited for the deep south.

Tall Fescue: Tall fescue is a wide-blade grass that grows in clumps. It was chosen for this mix because it thrives in high traffic areas and has low water requirements. Tall fescue has deep roots and grows in both areas of sun and shade.

Fine Fescue: Fine fescue is included in this mix for many reasons. It grows densely, germinates quickly and has a soft texture. It also does well in tough conditions including shady areas, cold climates and high elevations.

User questions & answers

Question:	What Grass it is
Answer:	Never said might to check website
Question:	Is this perennial
Answer:	none of the above
Question:	does this seed grow in sun
Answer:	That depends on your water quality.
Question:	What is in the mix? Specifically what and in what percentages. I wonder why this information isn't given
Answer:	These do not filter as well as expected. Have used throughout the summer here in Phoenix, AZ (since June 10th, 2020) for my misting system. Use 1-2 times a week (mostly just once a week). Water is still "hard" and leaves white spots/drips on furniture/tables/chairs/etc. I will try another inline filter next year.

User questions & answers

Question:	would it look natural as a "filler" with existing grass? - I have patches in my centipede possibly because of over-shaded areas
Answer:	This Pennington grass will grow in your overly-shaded area, keep it watered until it’s well established. It will look different than centipede grass, however it grows well and it’s green. That’s a win to me.
Question:	Best time to put down in Michigan? Spring or fall
Answer:	Fall but it's now going to be too cold in Michigan. The seeds will freeze at night. However, Pennington is great in spring as well......so if you have already had your frost, wait until spring. This winter will be below average in temps and above average in snowfall, so if you want to wait until spring that is totally okay as it will just go to waste if you do it now. Warmer zones are even getting their first Frost Advisories already. I will say this is the best grass seed on the market. I wouldn't use any other brand. Pricey but high quality and you get what you pay for. It is 200% worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What month is best to apply bare spot repair mix?

The best time to repair bare spots in your lawn will depend on the type of grass and climate in which it is being planted. Most warm-season grasses should be planted in late spring to early summer, while cool-season grasses are better repaired in the fall. However, before repairing your bare spots, we recommend that you ensure that soil is healthy. Patchy spots are sometimes indicative of unhealthy soil. A frequent cause of this can be from pet urination.

How do I fix bare spots caused by dog urine?

If the bare spot was caused by dog urine, water thoroughly prior to planting. Flushing the area will dilute the concentrated salts and help the seed fully establish.

Are One Step Complete products harmful to pets?

We have no reason to believe that our One Step Complete products are harmful to pets. It includes fertilizer so we recommend that the product is watered in and has thoroughly dried before allowing pets to re-enter the area.

Step 1: Prepare

Remove debris, then rake the soil to loosen and smooth the top layer.

Step 2: Apply

Spread seeding mix approximately 1 cup per sq. ft. everywhere thick, beautiful grass is desired.

Step 3: Water

This is the most important step! Keep the soil moist by watering daily (twice a day if you have to) until grass sprouts and reaches about 3" tall.

Answer:	Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Heat-Tolerant Blue Mix should grow well in most areas, as long as it's not in the deep southern regions.
Question:	Can scotts turf builder starter food for new grass + weed preventer be applied to scotts turf builder grass seed - tall fescue mix at the same time
Answer:	This is a mix of Tall fescue and KBG (about 30-40% of the seed is a form of KBG called hybrid KBG i.e kBG crossed with Texas blue grass. The kbg blades on here are a medium width blade (essentially looks like normal kbg) . The tall fescue varieties in here are also medium bladed - will blend really well with the kbg. The caveat is though, like any tall fescue, if the turf stand is thin, the tall fescue blades will widen significantly to fill the space. Once the space thickens, the tall fescue blades width will come back down to normal. The trick is to to keep your stand thick via good cultural practices and this will be a good looking turf. What's nice about the kbg in here (the cultivar is called Thermal blue) , is that its aggressive and will rapidly fill in any voids to keep the stand thick. Thermal Blue is known for having very good heat and drought tolerance, it will be able to hold up to the same conditions as tall fescue. It's only draw back is that it's not quite as dark as some of the more elite kbgs and has a bit of a dull look. The tall fescue counters it very nicely and as a mix, it's a very attractive and hardy stand overall.
