When to Use
Best time to seed: Fall provides the best conditions for tall fescue establishment.
- Overseeding thin or patchy lawns
- Starting a new tall fescue lawn
- Repairing bare or damaged areas
- Improving lawn density and color
Spring planting also works with consistent watering, but fall gives new grass more time to develop strong roots before summer stress arrives.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Seed in early fall for the strongest establishment
- Loosen the soil to improve seed-to-soil contact
- Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination
- Apply starter fertilizer at seeding to support root development
- Lightly topdress with peat moss or SeedAide to help retain moisture
- Avoid applying traditional pre-emergent before or during seeding
Not Recommended For
- Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, or St. Augustine lawns unless you are intentionally converting to tall fescue
- Deep southern regions where warm-season grasses perform better
- Areas with dense, full shade

Reviews
Put seed down June 8
"Put seed down June 8 th in the thumb of Michigan. Doing very well. Will be cutting it next week"
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."
"Beautiful dark green color, I love lesco ,And lawn Synergy products,I love the way Kentucky bluegrass seeds grass spreads as it grows. Best Regards Garry Baker Piscataway New Jersey"
It's a good start, no weeds! Better than most
"We bought the largest size to overseed our yard. I think this is a better brand than most. It's not that dark green that I would like, but it's an even green with no weeds like the big box stores. Once we were able to apply weed and feed my grass it's gorgeous now. We're going to use this again in fall and spring and probably stick with this brand. . . and continue to add amendments that can give us that deep dark green were really looking for. This is a good bang for your buck to getting your grass beautiful."
"Great seed"
"About 85% germination in georgia."
New lawn seeding .
"So far, I’m very happy with the products. My lawn is coming in nicely. . I appreciate when I made a phone call. They told me exactly what I needed to do and how much grass seed per square foot and things are looking great. Customer service was very helpful. Listen to every concern that I had and helped me decide on how to spread the grass seed not to mention shipping is very fast very happy with this company and product would definitely buy it again. ."

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.
