Where to Use: Use it on your bermudagrass lawn, especially in those spots that get baked by the sun all day long.

How to Use: This mix is your go-to for starting a new lawn from scratch or for overseeding your current lawn to make it thicker and tougher.

When to Use: Plant this seed in late spring or early summer when it’s consistently warm, with daily temperatures between 70°F and 90°F. Bermudagrass loves the heat.

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: Loosen the top 2 inches of soil to create a welcoming bed for your new seed.
  2. APPLY: Set your spreader to the new lawn rate. Apply the seed mix evenly across the prepared soil.
  3. RAKE (GENTLY): Lightly rake to mix the seed into the top layer of soil. Just enough so it's making good contact.
  4. WATER: This part's crucial. Water every day (or as needed) for the first 3 weeks to keep the soil surface consistently moist while the seeds get to work.

For Overseeding Your Existing Lawn:

  1. GET READY: Mow your grass on a low setting. Rake the area to loosen up the soil and clear out any dead grass or debris. This helps the new seeds get nice and cozy with the soil.
  2. APPLY: Grab your spreader and set it to the overseeding rate. Walk your lawn and apply the seed mix evenly.
  3. RAKE (GENTLY): Lightly rake the seed into the soil. You're just aiming for good seed-to-soil contact, not burying it alive.
  4. WATER: Keep the soil surface consistently moist by watering daily (or as needed) for the first 3 weeks. Think damp, not drenched.

For Growing a New Green Space:

  • Scotts Broadcast / Rotary Spreaders: 7
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 14
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 6 1/4
  • Scotts Elite Spreader: 6
  • Scotts Hand-Held Spreaders: 4 (3 passes)

For Overseeding Your Existing Green Space:

  • Scotts Broadcast / Rotary Spreaders: 3
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 8 1/4
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 4
  • Scotts Elite Spreader: 4
  • Scotts Hand-Held Spreaders: 3 (2 passes)

For the first three weeks, think of yourself as the lawn’s personal hydration coach. A light watering once or twice a day is way better than one deep soak. The goal is to keep the top layer of soil damp so the new seeds can get to work. Once the grass is established, you can switch to a less frequent, deeper watering schedule.

  • Patience is a Virtue: You should start to see some action in about 7 to 14 days, but it takes time to build an awesome lawn.
  • The First Haircut: Don't mow until the new grass is at least 2 inches tall. When you do, only trim the top third of the grass blades to keep it healthy and 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great I picked up O.M. Scott & Sons Bermudagrass Grass Seed and gave it to my sister, who really needed something to bring life back to her front yard. She was dealing with patchy, dry spots and was skeptical at first—but the results were better than expected. I’m really glad I gave it to her—it made a visible difference. now her front yard looks way healthier and more uniform.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great seed with a large coverage area This grass seed is great quality. I've already seen growth and I just planted about seven days ago. I haven't seen it's drought resistance yet but if it's anything like other Bermuda grass seed we've used in the past in other areas it should do quite well in the Texas heat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well This grass seed worked well for our dry Florida grass. After just a week we could start to see a difference. This one bag covered our whole front yard

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good for backyard I was honestly surprised by how well this grass seed worked. Within just a week, I started noticing little green sprouts popping up, and by the third week, my lawn looked fuller, greener, and more alive than it has in months. The seed was easy to spread, and with regular watering, it took beautifully. What I appreciated most was how even and soft the new grass came in—it feels amazing underfoot and instantly made my yard look more put together. If you're trying to refresh your lawn, fill in bare spots, or just want that lush green look, this seed is a great choice. With a little consistency and care, the results really speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick germination, easy to grow. I had some large parts of my front lawn that got destroyed from workers doing concrete work in my back yard. It needed Bermuda seeds to help it fill back in. The OM Scott & Son’s totally worked. I spread it out quite thickly and gave it a nice bit of watering for the first 2 weeks. Now my grass looks normal again and you can’t even tell where it was destroyed. Great product. I gave some to my neighbor and he used a bunch on his lawn too with success.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thanks to Scott’s, my grass is now greener, thicke I am so happy with the new Scott’s Grass Seed! My grass in my front lawn used to be very dull, dry and unhealthy, but after using Scott’s 3 in 1 seed, my grass has become stronger, thicker, and greener! Very happy with my results- you can’t go wrong with this grass seed by Scott’s!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to plant and contains fertilizer I received this product complimentary from Influenster. The O.M Bermudagrass was so easy to plant and since the seeds have fertilizer it will help it grow faster. I can already see small sprouts coming up. Looking forward to seeing them continue to grow and it’s safe for pets.
