Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade grass seed take to germinate?expand_more
Germination times can vary significantly based on conditions, but many users report seeing sprouts within 7-14 days. However, a substantial number of reviews indicate very slow or zero germination even after several weeks.
Why are weeds growing instead of my grass seed?expand_more
This is a common complaint. It suggests the grass seed may not be germinating effectively or establishing roots quickly enough to outcompete existing weed seeds in the soil. Ensuring proper soil preparation and watering can help, but user feedback points to potential issues with the seed mix itself.
Can I use Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix on an existing lawn?expand_more
Yes, the product is designed for overseeding existing lawns as well as starting a new lawn. The 5.6 lb. bag covers up to 2,240 sq. ft. for overseeding, compared to 745 sq. ft. for a new lawn.
What soil temperature is best for Scotts Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix?expand_more
For optimal results, you should apply this seed mix when daily average soil temperatures are consistently between 55°F and 70°F, with air temperatures between 60°F and 80°F.
Why is my Scotts Sun & Shade grass growing in clumps?expand_more
Patchy or clumpy growth can occur if seeds are not spread evenly or if soil contact is poor. Some users have also reported that the grass does not spread well, leading to a less uniform lawn, which might indicate issues with the specific grass varieties in the mix.
