What is the best seeding rate for new lawns vs overseeding?

For new lawns, apply 8–10 lb per 1,000 sq ft to ensure thick, even coverage. For overseeding existing lawns, apply 4–6 lb per 1,000 sq ft, ideally paired with core aeration for best results.

How fast does it germinate?

Lesco All Pro TransitionBlend typically germinates in 6–10 days under ideal conditions, with most lawns showing growth within 7–14 days. new seed must be topdressed with peatmoss for best results.

What climate and light conditions are ideal?

This blend is designed for the transition zone, performing well in areas with hot summers and cold winters. It thrives in full sun to moderate shade and offers strong resistance to heat, drought, and foot traffic.

Does it resist pests and disease?

Yes, the blend includes endophyte-enhanced tall fescue varieties that help deter surface-feeding insects. It also shows strong resistance to common lawn diseases like brown patch and leaf spot.

Do I need special watering or fertilizer?

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination and establishment. Use a starter fertilizer at seeding—ideally a formula like 18-24-12 or 15-20-10—to encourage strong root development and faster growth.

When is the optimal time to seed?

The best times to seed are fall and spring, especially in the transition zone. Avoid using pre-emergent herbicides near seeding time, as they can prevent germination. Always ensure the soil is well-prepared before seeding.

How does it perform in real-world lawns?

Customers frequently report fast germination, thick green growth, and long-lasting turf quality. Reviews often highlight successful overseeding results and improved lawn density within just a few weeks.

The grass seed only took

"The grass seed only took 3-4 to begin to germinate. It is better then the seeds at your local store and big name store. Hopefully it will stay this way for a long time. FYI:Truegreen killed my grass. That's why I figured I would try something new."

Grass seed is awesome. Comes

"Grass seed is awesome. Comes in right after aeration, survives the winter and looks great in the spring. Then the clover, broadleaf, and crabgrass comes in throughout the summer and ruins everything. But that's on me. The grass seed is great."

A Year Later

"A year ago I did a Fall aeration/overseed with Lesco's All Pro Transistion grass seed here in Maryland. I don't have a sprinkler system so I used hose end impact sprinklers and watered 2-3 times a day (didn't get much rain. . . ). This was a big job - 25,000 square feet. It germinated very well - I had lots of sprouts even after just 4 days. . . I've been doing soil testing and have realized that I haven't been putting down enough fertilizer. Also my pH is slightly low or on the low end. The grass came in beautiful last Fall and again this Spring. Unfortunately after this Summer with not a lot of rain, the lawn no longer looks great. . . Two lessons learned: 1) I think it takes at least 2 years for the roots to get deep enough in my clayish soil to get by without sprinkling the first 1 or 2 summers. Next summer I'll sprinkle as required with my hose end sprinklers. 2) I applied Dimension SE pre-emergent only once at the beginning of March. It did well but only lasted for around 3-4 months. Per the product label, I should have applied a second dose probably in May, leaving enough time to pass before September overseeding again this year. . . I've learned that weed seeds can sit dormant beyond that first spring and can pop up later in the summer which is what happened to me."

Honestly very disappointed with the

"Honestly very disappointed with the seed. My gardener told me it was great, so I bought 2 10lb bags. Put down 1 bag and watered and watered and all I got was a few small tufts of grass here and there after 5 weeks! I have the other 10lbs and will put that down in about 1 week and try again if it doesn't grow, I'll put down wood chips or mulch. Bu right now not happy with the product and the cost that I paid."

Q&A

Is the seed coated or is it just seed? My dog loves to eat seeds: This seed is not coated
I am living in Columbus OH and looking for what type of grass to plant. I've seeded and reseeded with Scott's Sun and Shade and a large part of it dies off during the summer heat/droughts. A fair amount has died off in the last couple weeks after overseeding this spring. Almost all of my yard is mostly sun with very little to no shade. I was looking at a tall fescue mix, which is supposed to be more drought tolerant and do well in sunnier areas. What would be my best option here?: Lesco All Pro Transition would be a great selection!
I live in Richmond VA which is a transition zone. Trying to decide between, ENVY, All Pro Transition, and Crown Jewel blends. We have high traffic, dense clay soil, with pets, and high PH. What would you recommend from your line of Seeds? My goal is long term growth and resilience not necessarily a perfect looking yard if you know what I mean. I'll be amending the soil regardless with carbon pro, lime, and aeration/peat moss. Thanks!: I would recommend Envy seed. This contains the top three varieties of Fescue. Visit our product page and learn more about the seed varieties and what they can offer you.
Good Afternoon: I am having a little issue with my lawn and I was told by a trusted professional to spray certain areas of my lawn with roundup before aerating and re-seeding, which I have no problem doing. I usually use Double Eagle Rye Seed when I do this every fall (I live in downstate NY) but this grass blend was referred to me by the professional based on my front yard basically never getting any shade. My concerns and I am hoping you could help are: 1) Using this blend after aerating and re-seeding with this blend, will my grass look like it has 2 different types of blades/grass types in it? 2) What are the benefits to this blend in a lawn that gets sun all day long 3) I have a seen a few reviews on this site and other sites about this blend not germinating, is this a common issue/problem? The last thing I need is to rip up my lawn with round up and aeration and not get proper germination. Thank you.: 1. This grass type will have a different color and texture compared to rye grass. 2. This fescue blend will be much more resistant to heat and sun exposure compared to rye grass. 3. The label has a germination rate of 90%. Seed germination is largely dependent on prep work and proper after care.
Can I plant grass now, July 2nd: Yes, you can seed now, but it would be best to wait until fall. 90+ degree days make it difficult to prevent the seed from drying out.
