Great for bare spots!
I had a landscape company overseed my fescue yard. There were a few bare spots that I used this product to fill in. Works great. Make sure you follow the instructions entirely, especially keeping the seed mixture wet once you spread it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Only grew weeds. Wasted a lot of money!
We used this product on both our front and back yard. The front yard we just wanted a little more thickness to our lawn, in the back we were growing new grass. After using this product our front yard is full of weeds and our backyard only grew weeds. Very disappointed in this product. I feel like it was a waste of money, effort, and time!

    Seed does not grow
    Seed was put out as instructions said to do and not seed has grown. Despite watering and waiting for seed to grow nothing happened. Do not buy. Waste of money.

    The product is great but the Scotts spreader they
    The product is great but the Scotts spreader they recommend sucks. I applied the three in one seed recommended on the instructions with the Scotts spreader but I could not see that the spreader was dumping a stripe right in front so now my lawn has green dark lush stripes.

    Better than I ever thought possible
    I live in a condo development where they hired a landscaping company to mow and treat my lawn. Not happy with the results, I decided to treat the lawn myself last spring in early April using Thick R Lawn. Not bragging but my lawn was clearly the best looking and healthiest lawn in our development. Be careful not to over spread and apply just before or after a gentle rain.

    It Looks Like a New Yard
    Our yard was an embarrassment before ... mostly bare spots of dirt, with sparse clumps of grass here and there, and plenty of bare spots for weeds to grow. A month after laying down this product, our yard is lush and dense, with no bare spots at all, and far fewer weeds trying to grow.

    I'm really impressed
    I used the scotts turf builder about a month ago and I'm really happy with the results. There is so many bare spots in my yard because of high traffic and this helped a lot. It made my grass look more green and healthy and even though there is still spots without grass, they are smaller and less noticiable. It is really easy to use but you do have to remember to keep your lawn moist for it to work.

    Thick and Green
    You gotta Love Scotts - all of their products work great, but this is by far my favorite! This is a one step solution to get your grass back to being green and Thick without having to do multiple steps and applications. We added a cement patio to our backyard in the middle of the summer, we had to dig up the area that the pad which never works to be just "That" area. Being that it was the middle of the summer it takes alot more time to get the grass to grow let alone be thick. Scotts Thick R Lawn made it easy and we were able to enjoy our patio with beautiful green thick grass surrounding us.

    Works very well
    Scotts Turf Builder works awesome. I planted this grass around the front of my house where I needed new grass to grow and also in spots throughout my front yard where I would like it to be thicker. The grass grew fast and beautifully green. There are NO weeds, the grass is very healthy as you can see in my pictures. Everyday it looks better and better. This is perfect for where I have it as some parts are shady and some parts are sunny - it worked in both places. I highly recommend this perfect seeded formula!

    Super stuff
    This had made a huge difference in our yard! It's brilliant green right now and the rest of the neighbor's lawns are looking pretty sad. Couldn't be easier to apply and everything works together in one product. We live in the Colorado mountains and it's suited just right for our cooler temps.

    Thick and Lush Lawn
    I was so impressed by the results of the Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Sun & Shade mix. This bag comes with the three essential ingredients you need for a thicker, better looking lawn. The bag includes seed, fertilizer, and also a soil improver. My lawn had been looking pretty bad considering the hot, dry summer we had in Illinois. My grass was thinning and looked sparse in some areas and needed a little help. The turf builder was easy to apply with my spreader and covered my lawn evenly. It was easy to see where it was applied afterwards, so if I missed a spot I could go back and re-apply it there. I watered my lawn every day. I was so surprised to notice a difference after just two weeks and only one application. My lawn looked fuller and more lush. My neighbors even commented about how green it looked compared to theirs. I am excited to try this turf builder in my backyard as I have dogs and need something that works well and quickly to cover the bare spots.

    Spreads & covers well, easy to see once on ground
    First, I feel thar the sizing of this bag is perfect for smaller areas that need a little extra love and attention. It spread very well in my push spreader, and we are excited to see the difference this product makes to a yearly troubled patch at our property. I also liked how easy it was to see the product as it spread, and afterwards, making it easy for me to see if I had missed any areas. I cant wait to see how much of a difference this will make to our lawn, and anticipate purchasing more if all goes well. The bad itself had an easy to open top, with a small indication notch to pull away. The sizing was just right for what we needed, and looking online the price point is where I would expect this to be.

    Great product
    This is a great 3 in 1 product to use that will help thicken your lawn. It contains seeds, fertilizer, and soil improved to help with root development. It can be used in both sun and shade. This product produces up to 50% thicker lawn. It is the easiest solution for filling in a thin law .

    good product
    Received the Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Sun and Shade the other day. I like that it has everything you need to help turn weak, thin grass into a thick, green lawn. I like the 3-in-1 solution for thin lawns, including seed, fertilizer and soil improver. I applied this to several dead spots in my yard. I put straw down so that the birds would not eat it. I checked a small section and am glad to report that I have some grass sprouting. I am hoping it will continue to grow before it turns any colder here in SWVA. It was easy to apply and seems to be doing a good job.

    Filling in bare areas very nicely….impressive
    This is a unique all in one seed & fertilizer product which is great to reduce work and keep the lawn looking green and lush. This is my new go-to product to thicken up thin areas and fill-in where the lawn is bare. It works really well and the seed grows quickly. I like that this is a three in one product with the seed, the fertilizer and even the soil improving ingredients. There will always be a problem areas that need to be re-seeded but I need to keep it effective & fast so I can get to other chores. I recently had to have some interior/exterior water pipes replaced and they had to dig up part of my grass. I was able to fill it in fast and quickly get the grass regrowing and the bare spot covered.

    Green-ed up the lawn, but no "Thick'R"
    We had a new lawn installed last summer that came up very thin this year. I Used this product a month ago. It did green up the existing grass, but did nothing to fill in or thicken the lawn. Only giving it 2 stars because it did fertilize. Maybe it needs more than 4 weeks. If it suddenly comes up I'll adjust my review accordingly. Very disappointed at this point though. No signs of any new growth.

    So amazing, I bought more!
    I cannot begin to express my obsession with this product. I wasn't sure how the results would be, so I only did two sections of my yard to “test it out” in October 2020 (SE PA), needless to say, it works! Check out my pictures (screenshot the photos to capture date/time) to see just how well it works! I loved the results so much, I'm currently working on the rest of my yard (applied some more to other parts of the yard a week ago). I will be sure to update my review soon, but hoping to have the same results in the rest of the yard!

    Great Product
    Scott's has good products that does what it advertise. As you can see around my angel brick statues was bare, no grass. When I got this product I was skeptical but as you can see, it works and filled in the space good. I will use Scott's products for all my yard needs.
