Where to Use: This product is your go-to for patching up bare spots. It's guaranteed to work in all sorts of tough places, like full sun, dense shade, high-traffic areas, and even on slopes. (subject to proper care)

How to Use: This is for patching and repairing bare spots in your lawn.

When to Use: The sweet spot for applying is in the spring or fall, when daytime temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F.

How Often to Use: Use as needed to patch any bare or thin spots that pop up.

  1. Get the Spot Ready: First, clear out any dead grass and rough up the soil a bit with a rake. This helps the new seeds get a good start.
  2. Apply by Hand: Now, just shake the EZ Seed evenly over the bare spot. You'll want it mostly covered, but with a little ground still visible. That's the sweet spot.
  3. Water It In: Give the patch a deep, gentle soak until the mulch is completely saturated. Don't skip this step—it's the most important one!

That first deep watering is super important. After that, the mulch does the work for you. When it's dark brown, you're all good. Once it starts to turn light brown, you know it's thirsty and time for another light sprinkle. It really takes the guesswork out of watering.

  • Let the New Grass Grow: We know it's tempting, but keep foot traffic (and the mower!) off the new patches until the grass is at least 3 inches tall. This helps it grow in strong.
  • Plant at the Right Time: You'll have the best luck planting in the spring or fall when the weather's just right—think daytime temps between 60°F and 80°F.
  • Kids & Pets: Let the new grass grow to at least 3 inches before letting the family and pets play on it.
  • A Note on the Seed: We've treated the seed with a fungicide to protect it from disease. Because of this, it's not meant for food, feed, or oil. Just be sure to store it away from any food.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store leftover product?

Got some left over? No problem. Just keep it in the bag and pop it in a cool, dry place like your garage or a shed, safely away from kids and pets.

It’s simple. The mulch is dark brown when it’s properly moist. When it starts to turn light brown, that’s your signal that the seeds are thirsty and it’s time to water again.

You'll see the first seedlings pop up in about 5-7 days, and with proper care, you'll have a nice patch of grass in a few weeks. Just remember 3 inches tall before you mow it.

This product is designed specifically for patching bare spots. For overseeding your entire lawn, we recommend using one of our Scotts Turf Builder grass seed products with a spreader.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good grass seed! I got lucky - put the grass seed down just as we finally got sone much needed rain! The cool weather is helping, too. I expect to be able to cut the new grass in another 2-3 weeks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded my expectations It worked very well for me, I got tall, green grass in only a few weeks after application. As the matter of fact it work so well, I’m seriously contemplating using for overseeding. (Don’t forget to do the prep work and water as much as needed!.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product Wow, this product is fantastic. We had a large trench near our landscaping around half the house that needed new grass, some areas were almost 6 feet wide. All the clay was turned up, so we applied a light topsoil, then EZ seed, watered as directed. It looks fabulous, it's been since May and the color has blended beautifully with our existing lawn. Very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easiest way to grow grass I've tried many different products when it comes to growing grass, with varying results. The Scotts EZ Seed is far and away the best one. Consistently produces healthy, thick grass, usually mowable after 2-3 weeks. All you need to do is keep it wet. No need for straw or any additional fertilizer. Just make sure its consistently moist and the day time temps aren't much higher than 80 or lower than 60. It's expensive but well worth it.
