Really happy!
We over seeded our lawn with the Bermuda Time grass seed and noticed a thicker, healthier lawn over the summer. It also seemed more resistant to our dog's burn spots.

Easy fix for your backyard!
We had some bare spots in our backyard because the sprinklers didn't cover them for months. I sprinkled the Bare Repair and in a few weeks grass started growing in those spots. I am very happy that this is a pesticide free grass because I have a rabbit and I don't want him to be eating harmful leaves or grass. 5 stars. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review
