Excellent results!
Went from an area that had patchy grass in around 1/2, and just dirt in half. Overseeded the patchy part and tilled the dirt.
Growth started within a few days, was noticeably thicker in a week, and gangbusters after that.
I’ve read some other reviews where the grass didn’t grow, and I’ve seen some of the pictures.
Yes, if you just throw the seed on rock hard bare dirt, and give it a little water every now and then, it’s probably not going to grow.
You do have the prep the ground. Imo more than the packaging leads you to believe. You should do a deep and thorough de thatching and cleanup of existing patchy lawn.
For bare hard dirt imo you need to break it up to a depth of 3-4 inches. I also added chicken manure to most of the lawn and dirt. Not a crazy amount, but a good amount. The totally bare dirt I also covered with a thin layer of peat.
Finally, you MUST water! No water, no grass! Imo it takes more water than most people think or do. I watered 4x a day, and it’s Sept so not overly hot right now. I noticed some spots that weren’t getting hit by the sprinklers didn’t grow well. Once I hit them with a hose daily, they filled in quickly.
Good stuff! But you have to do your part!

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2024
Most of the reviews of SCOTTS RAPID GRASS confirm my own results namely, poor to middling performance in the Hudson Valley, NY. THE VARIABLES: The temperature this autumn (2021) ranged in the mid-forty's with a high of 60 and a low of 36. Precipitation ranged from 'flood warning' to near draught. No matter, I've been watering the newly seeded area twice a day for over a month--Nice sunny weather overall.
The results have been weirdly 'spotty'. Nice healthy patches grew--but this accounts for only 8% of the lawn. These random tufts look great--if you like random 12 inch diameter turf that remind me as hair transplants.
BY COMPARISON: One year ago, I commissioned an entirely new septic system in my 'back yard'. Tons of new soil was dumped and smoothed over. The contractor then tossed grass seed by hand and called it a day. Within a week, the stuff started to sprout--and 60 days later, I had a full viable lawn!
LONG STORY SHORT:: While not a total dud, this $60+ investment accomplished little to rejuvenate my lawn. These seems to be neither rhyme nor reason for this spotty performance. As much as I'd like to blame the product failure on 'human error', I did every, short of lying down and singing the seeds a lullaby.
Maybe your experience will be different. This expensive product couldn't compete with the sack of 'contractors seed' my septic guy tossed around. I am more confused than disappointed.
