Your yard should be for epic games of tag and lazy Sunday afternoons, not a never-ending battle with weeds. That’s where we come in. Following our founder, O.M. Scott, we've held the belief that yards ain't hard since 1868. With our Tall Fescue Blend Grass Seed, we're making it a reality. We've packed a powerhouse 3-in-1 formula into one bag to take all the guesswork out of getting a lawn you can live on. This isn't just seed. It’s a carefully selected blend of tall fescue varieties from Oregon, chosen for their ability to grow into a thick, durable turf. Then, we mixed in our Natural Grass Food and a soil improver to give it everything it needs to grow strong and, best of all, naturally crowd out pesky weeds. And because we're all about the good stuff, our formula is safe for your kids and pets to play on right after you spread it. Plus, the bag is 100% recyclable. So go ahead. Go hard on your yard and let your grass do the heavy lifting.

Where to Use: Great for Tall Fescue lawns that get a mix of sun and shade. Perfect for starting a brand-new lawn or for overseeding your current one to make it thicker and more weed-resistant.

When to Use: Plant this seed in the spring or fall when it’s not too hot and not too cold, with daily temperatures consistently between 65°F and 85°F.

How Often to Use: For a green space that's always ready for action, we recommend overseeding once a year.

For Planting a New Lawn:

  1. GET READY: Rake the area to loosen up the top 2 inches of soil and clear out any debris. You're creating a perfect welcome mat for your new seed.
  2. APPLY: Set your spreader to the new lawn rate and apply the seed mix evenly across the whole area.
  3. RAKE (GENTLY): Lightly rake the seed so it’s mixed into the very top layer of soil.
  4. WATER: This is the important part. Water every day (or as needed) for the first 3 weeks to keep that soil surface consistently moist while the magic happens.

For Overseeding Your Existing Lawn:

  1. GET READY: Mow your lawn on a low setting and bag the clippings. Rake the area to get rid of any junk and loosen up the soil. This helps the new seeds make friends with the dirt.
  2. APPLY: Fill up your spreader and set it to the overseeding rate. Take a walk around your lawn and spread the seed mix evenly.
  3. RAKE (GENTLY): Lightly rake the seed into the soil. You're not trying to bury it, just ensure it’s making good contact with the soil.
  4. WATER: Keep the soil surface moist by watering daily (or as needed) for the first 3 weeks. You want it damp, not swimming.

For Growing a New Green Space:

  • Scotts Broadcast / Rotary Spreaders: 9 1/2 (2 passes)
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 17 (3 passes)
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 9 (2 passes)
  • Scotts Elite Spreader: 11
  • Scotts Hand-Held Spreaders: 5 (3 passes)

For Overseeding Your Existing Green Space:

  • Scotts Broadcast / Rotary Spreaders: 7
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 17
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 6
  • Scotts Elite Spreader: 6 1/2
  • Scotts Hand-Held Spreaders: 5 (2 passes)

For the first three weeks, your new seed is thirsty. A light watering once or twice a day is the name of the game. The goal is to keep the top layer of soil consistently damp to help the seeds get started. Once your new grass is established, you can back off and water less often but more deeply.

  • Give it Time: You should see some green shoots in about 6 to 14 days. Building a truly awesome lawn is a marathon, not a sprint.
  • The First Mow: Let your new grass grow to about 2 inches tall before its first haircut. And when you do mow, only take off the top third of the blades.
  • Feed Your Lawn: About 4-6 weeks after planting, give your new grass a boost with a bag of O.M. Scott & Sons Natural Grass Food to keep it going strong.
  • Ready for Play: Go ahead, let the whole crew run wild. This product is safe for use around people and pets, so you can get right back to the good times immediately after application. Just use as directed. That means don't eat it, drink it, rub it in your eyes...you get the point.
  • Gear Up: Even though we use only the good stuff, it's always smart to use common sense. We recommend wearing gloves and closed-toe shoes. Save the flip-flops for when you're admiring your handiwork.
  • Wash Up: Make sure to wash your hands after you're done. It's a good rule of thumb for any yard work.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store leftover product?

Find a cool, dry spot that's out of direct sunlight. Fold or roll the top of the bag down to keep it sealed up tight, and it'll be ready for your next project.

You bet. Our formula is made without pesticides and added artificial ingredients, so your furry friends and little ones can get back to enjoying the lawn right after you've applied it.

We hand-picked several different types of tall fescue because a blend is stronger and more resilient than a single type of seed. It's like having an all-star team for your lawn.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Effective This grass seed is wonderful! The packaging is extremely nice and well presented. I used this on a small patch in my yard that was having trouble to grow. So far, I have seen sprouts of grass popping out. I cant wait to use this more towards the fall when we are suppose to seed our grass when I live. Im sure this will make a huge difference in my yard!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, quick results I like the modern packaging of this Scott’s Grass Seed! The 8lb bag is a great size for filling in any brown or empty patches on our smaller sized lawn. I think we saw growth at an average rate but it has certainly filled in very full and matches our other grass so no more bare spots.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Water every day and it is a great product I had several bald spots in my yard and this Scott's product filled them in nicely. I have lots of trees and different degrees of sun and shade and it grew everywhere I tried it. It is imperative to follow the directions and water every day in the beginning. Every Day.
