I live in South Central Kansas. Yard is very sandy to sandy loam. I've tried several types of seed from big box to nursery “local blends”. This product has blown them all away. It's growing in areas I've never been able to grow seed. Germination rate was very high and I noticed the seed coming up within 6 days of planting. I killed the yard with glyphosate, raked up the dead grass, broke up the top inch or two of soil with an ATV plow, lightly raked with a pull behind de-thatcher, spread the seed with a walk around spreader, applied Fertilome new lawn fertilizer, and raked a bit more. I also put a light coat of seed on top of everything. In the months prior, I added a sprinkler system to keep the seed moist until germination. Lots of work, but worth it in the end. Nice young thick lawn in Mid Oct. hopefully, as the grass matures, it'll get even better.

I had sod put down in our back yard and the company I hired used a bag of this seed to spread into all of the cracks and seams between the sod square. After a couple of weeks of daily watering this grass seed sprouted up and has only thrived since. Months later, I had a rather large area in my front yard which was eroding so I bought a 25lb bag for to see if I could fix it and get some grass back. This spot was historically hard to get anything to grow. Again, a couple of weeks after spreading and daily watering this seed came up and the grass is greener and more alive than ever. It's stopped the erosion and neighbors are asking me about “my trick” to green grass. I just send them a picture of this seed and they are on their way to a greener, fuller lawn. Thanks!

Second time purchasing this seed. Last year established about 2400 sq. Feet over bare ground. Had 7 day germination….no weed seeds, held up well to late summer heat with no fungus issues, unlike the local sod that we laid. Bought again this fall to overseed. I feel sure I will buy again. Appreciate the free and fast shipping. It's a win win for me!

Love this seed. Produces a great looking lawn. Repairs itself by filling in bare spots. Will continue to buy.

When ordered this seed I was concerned about shipping and was told it is shipped a box to protect. Arrived early and excellent shape. Like 5 Star seed for a winter yard. I live in Arkansas, the humidity and heat kills a year round lawn, but I overseed each fall and spring.

Used the 50 lb bag to overseedmost of lawn and start in some patches 3 wks ago. Trying to be patient, but checking again this morning in 5 of those patches I still see zero sprouting/growth. Have had good amount of rain, some soil sprinkled on top of seeded area and used a starter fertilizer. Going back to the seed Ive used before. Given 2 stars here in the hopes i get something to sprout eventually

Great grass seed/ the best I have ever used. My lawn looks like a well cared for golf course. Thank you, thank you for this great product.

I bought two 50 pound bags about three weeks apart. The first bag was great. The seeds germinated and grew grass in about 10 days with very little weeds. The second bag also germinated and started growing fast but it had a lot of weeds and I will have to deal with weed control to get my yard looking great.

I wanted to plant new grass and needed something that would tolerate the hot Texas summer. Seeds are coming up so I am pleased.

I'm awaiting germination of my grass seed, which appears to be actually working as there is a light green undercoat appearing. I've been trying to re-seed my crabgrass-covered lawn for several years. I finally killed most of the crabgrass in February and I've done my best to scarify the ground in preparation for these seeds. Have done several rounds of seeding to try to catch the right weather conditions in this turbulent Arkansas spring season. Hoping for the best, and I think it's going to work this time!

Seeded multiple areas of yard where warm season grass would not grow, literally bare dirt, light shade. Aerated, added compost, scarified ground multiple times, added starter fertilizer and planted seed, top dressed with peat moss. Watered 3 times a day and within 5 days had grass!!!! It has continued to grow thicker. I bought more seed to have extra because I used every bit of the 25 pounds Initially purchased. Love it!

Seed is great, but this year waited too long to overseed. (3 month drought). Planted late September,...grass is slow germinating and growing. Early September planting is better.

Won't know how good it is until it germinates. It's pricey, so it better.

After having fescue grass sodded in the Spring, this Fall was the first time to over-seed. At the advise of a neighbor who has had fescue for many years, I ordered this seed. When I went online to DoMyOwn and typed in what I was looking for, I had trouble finding the exact thing at first. But eventually I found it after several searches. After that, the ease of ordering and fast delivery was great! I will certainly come back.

I live in the mountains of NC. I've tried every version of big box seed and local nursery varieties. This seed BY FAR is the best I've used. It germinated like the label said. It's green and lush. I hope it continues this way thru the next year.

Germination was initially fairly quick but the top growth is very slow in coming and the blades are very thin. After three weeks blades are only 2 inches in many areas and many open areas in the yard where seed is just sitting dormant. Temps and moisture seem to be ideal as neighbors' yards are flush w/ new seedlings that did not use this blend. These are not medium bladed seeds and tilling is yet to be determined for full coverage. yard was aerated and top dressed but seeds were only shallow covered with light dusting, even starter fertilizer has failed to make any noticeable difference. Will not be using again as i now have to over seed again with a different blend.

Two days after I spread the 5 Star Fine Fescue seed it began to come up. Two weeks later, I have the beginnings of a beautiful lawn. Thank you DoMyOwn.

This blend of dwarf tall fescue grass seeds is different from what was shown in the product details, but it is a better blend. The blend will differ year to year based upon the crop availability. The seed is grown in Oregon and the drought and fire problems will affect the seed crop production. Expect the type and quantity of each of the seed types in the blend to be different than what is advertised. But the seed blend will be the dwarf tall fescue seed types. The seed types in what I received were better than those advertised.

After nearly 2 weeks, with 2x daily misting, and 3x weekly heavy watering, still no gemination

  Expert response:
Most grass seed will start growing in about 10-14 days, but sometimes it can take up to 30 days. Because you have seen some signs of growth with the 5 Star Fescue Grass Seed Blend, we suggest waiting to see if there is any more growth within the next week. It likely could just use a little more time.

I haven't gotten any seed or sod to work in the shady part of the yard u til now! This seed is growing beautiful grass. Mixed it with new dirt and fertilizer. Watering and watching it grow. It's worth a try at your place.
