This grass is a powerhouse!

"We have very steep banks surrounding our home. They are so steep that they are nearly impossible to traverse. We seeded them with the Creeping Red Fescue on June 29th, covered it with no seed hay and set up a sprinkler timer for 4x per day for 15 minutes. It is incredible how green the grass is already. It was visibly green on our surveillance cameras within 10 days. We are so happy to have this kind of coverage already to prevent the dirt from washing out and blowing away in the huge wind gusts we get there. I love the photo on your site and that's my goal with this grass, to just let it grow."

— TAD (5/5)

i'll give it 5 later if it really does what i'm hoping for

"Threw the seeds down on a bare ground slope in north AL, 2 weeks later & it's already starting to grow."

See results in just a week AMAZING GRASS!!!!!

"The front of the house has fine blades grass that looks pretty good I wanted the same look in my backyard which looked terrible until I found this product that it is amazing, my soil is 100% clay hard like rock but this grass is growing fast I saw results in just a week, I used 15 Lbs. for 2500 sqft. in less than a month I was mowing my backyard very happy with the results"

Absolutely will buy this product again!

"Handling an area which has been challenging for years to get a healthy lawn going. This will be my second season, hoping the quality/reliability continues."

— Pickle G. (5/5)

GREAT PRODUCT

"Easy to grow. Attractive."

— Aj (5/5)

Great for shade

"This grass is great for shady areas and partly shady areas. It does not like full sun. Be sure to not cut it short, about 4. 5" is perfect."

— BicycleMark (4/5)

Nice fine grass

"Grass is a small blade which is softer to walk on. It grew fairly well on our soil where we have problems with other seeds."

— Kubra (4/5)

Love the Green

"This was the second season which I ordered a 50# bag of creeping red fescue. The seed make a beautiful lush green lawn. It does better in an area that has some shade. I have a two acre lawn and I am working toward having my entire yard with the creeping red fescue."

— Suzie Q. (5/5)
