Growtrax Biodegradable Grass Seed - 50 SQFT Bermuda Rye - Grass Seed and Fertilizer for Lawns, Dog Patches & Shade - Just Water & Grow - No Fake or Artificial Grass

after reading all the reviews I was hesitant to buy. However, needed to fill in patch areas in my yard so I bought one roll of the burmuda and was actually pleasantly surprised. I love how easy it is to spread down and after 4 weeks it started coming in with some really pretty grass! the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it took a while to come in. One thing to note is you have to keep it moist. water at least 2 times a day. I watered 2 to 3 times a day as I live in Calif. and it gets pretty warm in the afternoon. you need to be on top of it every day. Water is the key for this stuff. But the really awesome part.....not one weed came through. its crazy. I'm not sure if that's because I use pre emergent every season which didn't allow any weed seed to germinate or if the grass pad isn't full of weed seed as I expected. I will be getting another roll for other patches in my yard.

This product was an expensive mistake. I paid $500, followed every instruction, and instead of growing grass, it caused severe mold and mildew all over my front yard (see photos). The product is clearly defective. What makes this even worse is the unfair 30-day return policy, knowing it takes 8+ weeks for grass seed to even show results. By the time you realize the product doesn’t work, you’re stuck with the damage and no way to return it. I contacted both the manufacturer and Amazon, and they refused to take responsibility. No refund, no replacement, no real support. Just scripted responses and zero accountability. This is terrible customer service, and future buyers deserve to know what they’re walking into. If you value your money, your yard, and your time, DO NOT buy this product. I’m out $500, left with yard damage, and absolutely no help from the company that sold it.

I tried to use this on a high traffic spot that my dogs use. They tore it up, so most of it didn't grow. The parts that did grow took more than the the instructions stated. The grass didn't show signs of sprouting until the second week. It's been a month now, and it still hasn't grown to 3" for the first mowing as promised in the instructions. I also took 2 12 × 12 concrete pads, and placed dirt on them and put the Grotrax on that. That was 2 weeks ago, and some seeds have germinated. I kept watering as instructed, but still very sparse. It does grow, but not at the speed as stated by the supplier.

We laid this out in April when we had a lot of rain. Perfect conditions for growth and nothing sprouted. If it wasn’t kept wet, it would blow away. Looked awful. Do not buy this. After a few weeks I gave up and pulled it up.

I have tried putting down several different brands of grass seed in a particular area of my lawn and have had no luck. I was about to try some of the "spray grasses" but stumbled across this product and glad I did. Here is a quick rundown of my experience. (Area I used this on is sunny half the day and shady the rest of the day.) When I went to purchase I thought 50 square feet would be plenty for my needs. It "just" covered the small area I wanted to do. So to me, it was expensive in comparison to the amount of yard I was using it on. It would be wise to actually measure the area vs. "guestimating" like I did to be safe. The directions included are very clear and straight forward. I followed them to the T and had no issues as expected. This rolls out very nicely and quickly. My watering regimen was three times a day for several weeks. Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. Photo showing the material being freshly put down was 7/31 and my after photo was taken 9/15. (6 weeks) This did the trick and the grass has been doing very well since. So in short, I was happy with the outcome and this did what I needed. Two thumbs up. One tip is to be sure your area is well saturated before putting it down and be on top of the watering schedule for best results.
