Growtrax Biodegradable Grass Seed Mat - Year Round Green - Grass Seed for Lawns, Dog Patches & Shade - Just Roll, Water & Grow - No Fake or Artificial Grass (50 sqft, Lawn Repair - Tall Fescue Mix)

I got this to put on a recently filled area with clay and sand. It's been about 2 weeks and the seeds have terminated as a are growing! To be fair I didn't water it 3x a day line it says to. I was only able to 2x so it delayed the growth. But it looks like it'll be for to go in anther 2 weeks. Pretty cool stuff. I wish they made zoysia seed ones though. But I get it that's a difficult seed to grow and would prob have bad ratings in our instant gratification world. Am in all I'll buy more for the other bare spots

I purchased five rolls of the GrowTrax Grass Seed Mat and carefully followed all the preparation and installation instructions. Unfortunately, what grew was not grass at all — it looks like a patch of weeds or random plants instead. I was really hopeful about this product because it sounded convenient and easy to use, but the results were completely different from what was advertised. I prepared the soil properly and watered as instructed, yet there’s no sign of real grass after two weeks. Very disappointed with this purchase and would not recommend it based on my experience.

So far, it’s been growing. It took about 10 days to see even sprouting, but we are on week three now and it’s fairly even. I can’t speak for how it will hold up. It also seems like 5 weeks to a “full lawn” is very ambitious. But it has been growing steadily. We do water it more than 3 times a day (zone 9b), and that seems to help tremendously versus the other times we’ve tried to grow from seed. But way easier to see where to water, due to the colored mat. We placed it over a decorative mulch/tree we had removed area just past our lawn. Used landscape staples as I was laying it down, and kept some there to deter kids and dogs from running through it. Ordered a second roll last week based on the positive progress. We shall see.

This seed mat came up very well after about 9 days. I watered three times per day as advised. Hoping it will continue to grow strong and healthy.

It has not been down long enough to know if the grass will actually grow, but in laying it down I found that it tears very easily. I just put it down 3 days ago and it has not had a chance to grow yet. Time will tell.
