Ingredients
Premium perennial ryegrass seed (2 varieties): Fast-establishing grass seed that fills in bare and thin areas quickly. Delivers a thick, durable lawn with strong disease and insect resistance.
Fine fescue grass seed: Shade-tolerant seed that thrives where other grasses struggle. Adds texture and stays green with less water.
1-0-0 NPK slow-release fertilizer: Feeds new seedlings steadily over time so roots get established without burning. No guesswork on when to fertilize.
Recycled paper mulch: Holds moisture around seeds to improve germination and keeps seed in place. Made from recycled paper, not dyed wood chips.
How to use
Best results come from seeding in spring or fall when temperatures are consistently between 55 and 75 degrees F.
- Prep the soil. Clear away dead grass, leaves, and debris. Break up any exposed or compacted soil so seed can make direct contact with dirt. Good seed-to-soil contact is essential to germination.
- Spread at the right rate. For bare areas, use at least 1 cup per 1 sq ft. For thinning lawns, use about 1 pound per 15 sq ft. Spread evenly by hand or with a small spreader.
- Water consistently. Water lightly 1 to 2 times daily, early morning and evening, until grass reaches about 2 inches tall. Keep foot traffic off the area until the new grass is established.

Great product!
Great product! With diligent watering I got really good results.
Was this review helpful?Patch me please
My lawn has patches due to grass clippings being left on a freshly manicured lawn for a few days in the summer. I was disappointed and had to get bare repair to the rescue. After watering for a few days, I immediately noticed growth filling in. Due to the inconsistency of the weather, there has been ups and downs with the growth. Overall, I'm pleased but will monitor root growth for the coming year.
Was this review helpful?Didn't Do Anything
The same "bare repair" product that i applied several weeks ago, is the same product that is just sitting on the ground. Absolutely 0 germination. Regular watering each day to ensure instructions were followed, and all you see is blue mulch. Very disappointed.
Sunday
We're sorry to hear that this was your experience with Sunday! There are a few factors that may have affected your seed germination. 1. Applying the correct rate (or amount of seed). By over-application, we're referring to applying outside of our labeled and recommended seed rates. Over-application of seed can result in too much seed in a single area and cause it to not germinate successfully. 2. Watering correctly is critical. The soil needs to be moist, but not saturated, until grass has germinated. If it gets dried out even for a few days, it may not grow from the soil. 3. Germination rates should be about 7-21 days, but can be more if conditions are not quite right.

Was this review helpful?Appears to have worked pretty
Appears to have worked pretty well, but does seem a bit thin. Only time will tell.
Was this review helpful?bad luck
It is likely that I ended up with a poor-quality batch. I purchased it in June and applied it to 4 or 6 different locations in my yard. Despite watering it twice daily, it did not successfully germinate. The customer service was pleasant and provided a refund.

Thank you for reaching out! We're sorry to hear that your experience was not as expected. For best results, we recommend following these steps: 1. Clear area of debris and lightly break up exposed soil. 2. Shake on 1 cup per 1 sq. ft. on bare spots. 3. Spread 1 lb. per 15 sq. ft. for thin growth. 4. Gently water the seeded area 1–2x per day. 5. Continue watering until new grass is 2”. Additionally, seed that's laid in the fall season may not show much germination until the spring. You can learn more about fall overseeding at getsunday.com.
Was this review helpful?It didn't make it worse
I didn't see any substantial improvement in the health of my lawn. :( Maybe it was already too hot when I applied it.
Was this review helpful?Bad bare grass repair.
After planting I watered twice daily for 5 minutes each only if it did not rain. Nothing grew at all. I am not satisfied with results at all.
