5 Star Fescue Grass Seed
By Tom on 04/19/2015
I purchased 5 Star after being told by a local garden center it would grow better than any sod type grass in my lawn due to my lot being very shaded. I initially planted the seed in the fall and it came up pretty well but followed up with heavy oveerseeding this past March and April. The lawn is now beatiful and the envy of the neighborhood. Seed is cheap to attain a great lawn so buy enough to seed sufficiently and overseed as needed. I also applied a starter type fertilizer.

Best Fescue seed hands down.

5 Star Fescue
By Barbara on 03/06/2017
Love this grass! Planted for the first time October 2016 in my more shady areas. I have horrible sandy dirt and nothing has worked. This grass came up in eight days ..... beautiful green! I was worried that it wouldn't make it through the winter even though Texas winters aren't horrible. It lightened in color but during February it started greening up - a deep green/blue color that is gorgeous - and it's growing again. I over-seeded last week (March 1) and planted a new section. It's all up, and the established section is starting to run. LOVE this product!! Going to order more. I have an acre that I am going to plant. Neighbors have said how pretty it is. I ordered and had the product within 5 days....love this company! Will continue using them....very pleased! :)

AMAZING
By Rebecca on 06/21/2017
I tried everything from sod to more expensive grass seeds. This stuff is amazing. Grew in 5-7 days in the heat of Oklahoma. Hopefully it won't die off in the winter since I planted it during the summer (not optimal time). DoMyOwn has great prices and awesome customer service.

5 Star Fescue Grass Seed
By Joel on 04/26/2014
The grass is in the process of growing. The great thing about this seed and Do My Own Pest Control is the price and the quick service. Fantastic service! Quick time that I received it and the price was the best I found. My local guy said two weeks and the price was $40.00 higher. Keep up the good work!

Stays green summer and winter!
By Rachel on 04/22/2019
I planted this seed to make a new lawn in Queen Creek, Arizona. The grass survived our summer temperatures of 110 degrees in full sun just fine. During the winter, we saw lows of 20 degrees quite a few nights; the grass was not as green then as in the summer, but it did not turn brown. The lawn is now 1 year old and doing great. The only downside is that this is not a spreading type of seed, so I had to buy more seed to fill in some bare spots (thanks, rabbits!)--and the formulation has changed since the first bag I bought.

Top notch seed, excellent germination!!
By Chris on 01/04/2020
I have used this brand several times and have never been disappointed. The seeds are highly viable and very predictable. Sow the seeds and 7 to 10 days later a hint of green. I have even buried these up to an inch, too keep birds from eating them and they still germinate pushing a layer of garden soil up with them

5 Star Fescue
By Todd on 09/22/2020
I researched what seed to plant on a new lawn in a relatively shady yard and landed on Five Star fescue, primarily based on recommendations from landscape pros in my area. I originally contacted two local vendors to purchase the seed, but their price was as high as 60% more than DoMyOwn. After ordering, the seed was delivered in individual boxes within a week. I planted the seed on 09/12/2020 and on day 6 the seed germinated. Now on day 10, green is everywhere. For the very best results, fescue will germinate when the temperature is around 75-80 degrees during the day. Also, I spent a lot of time preparing the soil and have kept it consistently wet with an irrigation system. Temperature and moisture are critical! Excited to see what my new lawn looks like in a few weeks.

Tall Fescue
By Chas on 09/25/2019
Great for shade
By Hillbilly on 07/03/2020
Seeded a test plot two weeks ago. It's a very shaded spot on my property, gets maybe 2-3 hours of direct sun a day, if that. All I did was rake the leaves and natural mulch back to expose the soil and scattered the seed. Didn't fertilize, or anything else, just threw it down. Never thought I could have such a green little patch in that area. Grew about an inch in the first week or so. I'll be buying more to do the rest!

Great In Central Oklahoma
By Mark on 11/24/2020
I live in central Oklahoma. There were a lot bare spots in the lawn at the new house, so in mid September I tilled the bare spots, threw the seed down heavily, raked the loose dirt over the seed, applied starter fertilizer, and kept the ground moist. At first it looked a lot thinner than I expected, but by spring it thickened up exceptionally. I don't have an irrigation system, and I only watered by hand once or twice this summer. By August, it thinned a little in some spots, but now that November has hit it's nearly as lush as it was this spring. And it keeps some color all year round! Now that the rest of my grass is going dormant, I can really tell how well it's spread. Originally I planted in an area that was 2 feet wide, but it has spread out from the house about 8 feet, and is really taking over the lawn. That Blade runner is amazing. Most fescue doesn't spread. I plan to buy some more next year to overseed he entire lawn. I am impressed!

Glad to have found Sod Quality Seed.
By Rich on 05/01/2018
I gave it Five Starts because I have been trying to get the Quality seed that was used to grow the Sod that I have put down in my yard. I had tried the local Sod Farms but they seemed reluctant to sell to anyone who was not a Landscaper. I found the same mix here at DoMyOwn. I have some bare spots in the lawn, but did not want to fill in with just any type of seed, I wanted an even look for my yard. Being we have had a cold spring so far, I am waiting for the seed to sprout, but I am very confident that it will soon.

Just what I was looking for
By Joanna on 06/19/2020
Love it
By Bill on 08/07/2023
Purchased fall of 21 after a lot of research and am thrilled with the results of this seed. Delivery was fast. The label had different versions of seed than I expected, mostly newer versions, but you're going with great choices of TTTF. I overseeded (if you can call what we had grass) about 15000 sq ft on 9/4. Mowed as low as i could, raked up everything, aerated, spread seed, lesco starter fertilizer. Yard has a lot of clay, mostly sun, I'm in southeast PA. Tried to keep it moist with big sprinkler and by hand, had some weird 85+ temps days sneak up later that week. Still had hints of green after 4 days, 8 days was looking pretty good, and by 3 weeks looked like a new lawn from the house. Was still

Great grass seed
By Jer on 10/23/2020
I ordered a bag and applied, yet was skeptical due to my area and soil. Well, the seed has done great, so great that I ordered another bag and finished the job! Fescue for my area & soil is perfect! Not all grasses are for all areas, but to prevent wash out, have good rooting grass, as well as, finally to have a just grass seed that works, is awesome!

Amazing Results
By Jeff on 10/13/2023
I wish I could share pictures of day one and day 20 because the results are amazing. Live in OKC and have a Bermuda lawn which has gotten progressively thinner due to a large oak tree in my yard. Scalped the yard and brought in some dirt to have about a half to one inch bed. Spread the seed out evenly and used Scott's starter fertilizer. Watered three times a day (while the temps were still in the mid 80's) and at day 20 was mowing 4 inch tall grass. Started out looking thin but now at day 40, it has thickened as more blades are produced from each seedling. I expect that some Bermuda will still come in where there is full sun but that's fine. I have had numerous people ask about the lawn and it is beautiful. Used about 30lbs on 2500 square feet and continuing to add were it is thinner since temps are coming down now. Only a few weeds and I mean a few, like less than a dozen. Great seed and Do My Own always delivers great stuff quickly.

Excelent
By Ernie on 11/11/2015
Really works!!
By Andy on 05/11/2023
I had sod put down in our back yard and the company I hired used a bag of this seed to spread into all of the cracks and seams between the sod square. After a couple of weeks of daily watering this grass seed sprouted up and has only thrived since. Months later, I had a rather large area in my front yard which was eroding so I bought a 25lb bag for to see if I could fix it and get some grass back. This spot was historically hard to get anything to grow. Again, a couple of weeks after spreading and daily watering this seed came up and the grass is greener and more alive than ever. It's stopped the erosion and neighbors are asking me about “my trick” to green grass. I just send them a picture of this seed and they are on their way to a greener, fuller lawn. Thanks!

5 star fescue blend
By Blaine on 07/28/2023
I'm from Nebraska. I struggle to grow grass or anything else. Tilled up about 2500 sq ft to a depth of 1". Spread the seed very heavy. Drug it with a harrow and drove over it with my 4 wheeler to compct. Set sprinklers to water every 3 hours for 5 minutes. After only 5 DAYS I had a lot of grass showing! Been 8 days now and I'm ecstatic. It's coming in very thick. This stuff is the bomb!

Worth the Price
By John on 10/15/2021
I live in South Central Kansas. Yard is very sandy to sandy loam. I've tried several types of seed from big box to nursery “local blends”. This product has blown them all away. It's growing in areas I've never been able to grow seed. Germination rate was very high and I noticed the seed coming up within 6 days of planting. I killed the yard with glyphosate, raked up the dead grass, broke up the top inch or two of soil with an ATV plow, lightly raked with a pull behind de-thatcher, spread the seed with a walk around spreader, applied Fertilome new lawn fertilizer, and raked a bit more. I also put a light coat of seed on top of everything. In the months prior, I added a sprinkler system to keep the seed moist until germination. Lots of work, but worth it in the end. Nice young thick lawn in Mid Oct. hopefully, as the grass matures, it'll get even better.

Second time buyer
By Jeanne on 10/06/2023
Second time purchasing this seed. Last year established about 2400 sq. Feet over bare ground. Had 7 day germination….no weed seeds, held up well to late summer heat with no fungus issues, unlike the local sod that we laid. Bought again this fall to overseed. I feel sure I will buy again. Appreciate the free and fast shipping. It's a win win for me!

5 Star Fescue seed 50lb bag
By Jack on 09/08/2023
When ordered this seed I was concerned about shipping and was told it is shipped a box to protect. Arrived early and excellent shape. Like 5 Star seed for a winter yard. I live in Arkansas, the humidity and heat kills a year round lawn, but I overseed each fall and spring.
