Where to Use: This seed is perfect for starting a new lawn from scratch or for thickening up an existing one in the Northeast.

How to Use: Use it to start a brand-new lawn or to overseed the one you've already got.

When to Use: The best time to plant is in the spring or fall when temperatures are consistently between 60°F and 80°F.

How Often to Use: For best results, overseed your lawn with this product once a year to keep it thick and healthy.


For a New Lawn:

  1. Get the Ground Ready: Grab a rake and loosen up the top couple of inches of soil, clearing out any rocks or dead grass.
  2. Spread the Seed: Pour the product into your Scotts spreader, dial in the ""New Lawn"" setting, and apply it evenly.
  3. Gently Tuck it In: Lightly rake the seed into the top layer of soil. You just want it barely covered.
  4. Give it a Drink: This part is key. Water daily (or as needed) to keep the soil moist until the new grass is at least 2 inches tall.

For Overseeding:

  1. Get Your Lawn Ready: Mow your lawn nice and short (about 2 inches). Then, give it a good rake to loosen the soil and clear out any dead stuff.
  2. Time to Spread: Fill up your spreader, set it to the ""Overseeding"" setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage.
  3. Just Add Water: Water every day, or as needed, to keep the soil damp until the new seedlings are at least 2 inches tall.

New Lawn:

  • Scotts Broadcast/Rotary Spreaders: 9 1/2
  • Scotts Hand-Held Spreaders: 5 (3 passes)
  • Scotts Drop Spreaders: 18 (2 passes)
  • Scotts Wizz Spreader: 9

You'll want to water the newly seeded area every day for at least three weeks to keep the soil surface moist. This is the most important step for success. An automatic timer can be a real game-changer here, making sure you don't miss a watering.

  • Let it Grow: We know you're eager to mow, but let the new grass grow until it's at least 2 inches tall before its first trim.
  • Keep it Fed: To keep that awesome new lawn looking its best, give it a good meal every 8 weeks with a Scotts Lawn Food product.
  • 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.
  • Store it Smart: Keep any leftovers in the original bag and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from kids and pets.
  • Keep it Tidy: If any product ends up on your driveway or sidewalk, just sweep it back onto the lawn. This helps keep our local waterways clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I store leftover product?

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

Every region has its own quirks when it comes to growing a great lawn. We've selected grass seed varieties that are proven to perform best in the Northeast's unique climate, so you're set up for success from the start.

With proper watering, you should start to see the first green sprouts in about 6-12 days. Give it a few weeks, and your lawn will really start to fill in.

This mix is specially formulated for the Northeast, but it's also a great choice for surrounding areas with similar weather. If your lawn faces the same kinds of challenges as one in the Northeast, this mix will feel right at home (subject to availability).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Deep Green I normally purchase my grass seed from an online seed superstore. However, this spring I had about 200 sq ft of a low spot that I needed to fill. Used this northeast mix with great results. Planting in the spring can be more challenging than the fall, but I got great results with this seed, fertilizer, soil conditioner. Grew in strong and lush. This seed produces the deepest green of any grass that I have used. It does grow a bit faster than my established lawn, but it stands up to traffic. Some research into the selected seed used in this mix indicates they are all top quality selections. I am now trying this seed for my fall lawn renovation and overseeding. My only complaint is that the coverage for a drop spreader does not come close to advertised sq ft using the package settings. Located in Massachusetts. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Late Start and pleased with results Decided to roll the dice and seeded June 15 and now July 1 we have 3+ inch grass. Lucked out as we had about a solid week and half of on and off rain just about every day. I had bad case of moss did the treatment around Memorial Day using Scotts MossEx which worked out pretty good. Only then did I realize that I needed to get it seeded. Used Scotts starter fertilizer with weed killer but ran out of that and got some Viagro starter fertilizer as local big box ran out of the Scotts. Applied straw mulch after seeding and liming. Wish I had more ofthe Scotts starter with weed killer as now get some weeds with the new grass except where I had preped with the Scotts. Figure in fall will try some Tenacity and other "safe" weed killer for newly seeded lawns to kniock down the weeds and maybe another overseed. Also when I for seeding used a slicer aerator that really got a good seed contact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One week later, great germination and growing well Follow the directions and it grows great. leveled the area with 5 yards of top soil, dropped Scotts stage 1 or seeding fertilizer and made my first pass with the seed. Then a quick light raking and then made the second pass in the other direction and covered in 1/4 of peat moss. Watered between 2 and 6 times a day for the past 10 days and grass is growing splendidly. Did have some washout due to some heavy rain but i think i'll be ok. the Fescue should fill in the spots. People complaining about no germination obviously did something wrong, either let the seed dry out or soil temp is just too low for germination.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great! Needed to repair our front yard after a huge tree was uprooted. Once it was all clear we ordered 12 yards of top soil to level out the yard, planted a couple new trees, and the final step was seed the 8,000 square foot section. Pressure was on as this will make or break the yard renovation. Paid a little more for this product but I feel it's paying off. The seed was put down with a Scott's spreader 10 days ago and it started sprouting within 5 days. Must keep it moist and I lucked out with warm weather for the most part. I topped it with a thin layer of peat moss and I think that really helped it grow on the hotter days as we had an unexpected heat wave two days after seeding. I'm very satisfied with the product and can only say to the people that didn't have luck, conditions matter and sometimes no matter what you do it doesn't come out the way we want. Water and proper use of products goes along way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful product I have 2 big dogs and of course they use the backyard. Scott's Turf builder was used for the spots along with the Scott's Lawnsoil and my yard has beautiful green grass. The only products I use for my lawn is Scott's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This was my ticket for my lawn. I love this product! I preped my yard with some nice black dirt. So I wanted my seeding to work as hard for me as I worked on removeing all weeds and leveling my yard. Well it did, the moisture held up and I was so happy to see a nice green lawn appear in about 5-6 days. Several of my neighbors stopped to ask what I used because they were amazed at how fast and nice it looked in such a short time. I wouldn't ever use anything else. I am so happy!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good instructions Have always used your 4 step process is spring and always been very happy with results on my lawn. soon as Scotts 4 step is available and there usually is a nice discount on 1 of our hardware stores I casually mention to my wife and she gets the message and they once again appear in the garage and for me to once again make my move. Well pleased with your products and have been using them for many year as my wife and I will be married 67 years in Sep. Lot of lawn work covered. Respectfully John Maurer
