GROWTRAXBiodegradable Grass Seed Mat, Year Round Green - 50 Sq Ft Quick Fix Roll - Growing Solution for Lawns, Dog Patches and Shade - Just Roll Water & Grow -Not Fake or Artificial Grass

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

This does nothing to help the grass grow at all. Should be cancelled from Amazon list of things to purchase. What a waste of money I spent.

Will provide desired results if you keep the soil moist for at least 2 weeksI set a timer to water 10 minutes every 6 hours.Within 2 weeks the grass sprouted & is about 2 inches tall. What remains to be seen is if it will last or die off

The description said if we watered 3 times a day, there would be lush, thick grass after 5 weeks. We installed the mats on an area with 2 inches of fresh store-bought topsoil on June 27, 2025 and 6 weeks later on August 8, 2025 the grass is thick in some areas and quite thin in others. It may eventually thicken all over, but that may require overseeding, fertilizer and more TLC.

Product arrived overnight without any problems. My soil quality wasn't very good so I put down fresh top soil and watered it the night before installing the growing carpet. It was just the right size and I watered it twice a day. In a week it started sprouting. Now it is a solid carpet of grass that is absolutely beautiful. This was such an easy fix for my yard with a product that is fairly cheap. Even my neighbors have talked about how nice my yard has become.

I covered my whole yard in this stuff based upon a successful trial with a smaller area. The main thing to know is that if you are in a windy area, you are going to be babysitting and repositioning this stuff daily until it sprouts. Any serious wind and it becomes a kite and blows all over. If you are doing what you are supposed to be doing and keeping it damp, you then have to be extremely careful to get it back in position without destroying it, as it basically loses all structural integrity when it is wet, and walking on it will also destroy or put holes in it if the underlying soil is soft, so it is really a challenge to keep it in position. Overall, to do it again, and even now as I stare at my rolls which overnight were blown all over the yard - about 2000 sqft or over 700 dollars of material - I would just cover it all in a half inch of topsoil. This will keep birds from eating it, make it germinate and grow more quickly, and retain water a bit better so it would not require multiple waterings per day to stay damp. If you cover it with a bit of dirt, and keep it moist, you will have excellent results. Otherwise, just buy some sod and be done with it. I mean, it is really a sort of disaster when you wake up at 5am and look at your yard and have a bunch of stuff to do before work and you realize that you have to get out there and do an hour of grass seed roll repositioning and rehabilitation or your $3000 lawn project is going to look like hammered feces. These people really did not think through what any sort of wind at all will do to an installation without some sort of soil holding it down. Kind of a major oversight. I support US businesses and this is made in Santa Barbara, but come ON guys! You are seriously sinking my battleship over here. Get with the program and tell people how to make this stuff work. Topsoil, topsoil, topsoil. The turf is really nice once it gets going, but this is ridiculous.

I read many of the reviews and with so much positive and of course some negative, I decided to give it a try. I laid multiple strips over bare dirt. I watered regularly and hoped for the best. After about 4 weeks there was absolutely no change. I wondered if there were any seeds in the mat. I did not bother to shred it to find out. I just gave up. Perhaps i did something wrong but simply do not know. I have most of the roll remaining as I was testing in on about 10 square feet of area.It is about a year since I wrote the above review. I decided to give this product another chance so I cleared and prepared about a 3 foot square area. I made sure it was well watered. Now after about 2-3 months you can see the results in the pictures. While there is some grass growth this time, most of the area shows no growth or vey sparse growth.The pictures are not great as there are a lot of pine needles over the grass due to some strong wind. However, I think you can get the idea. I loved the potential of this product but found it pretty useless. As an experiment, I seeded another section of the lawn with traditional seed and watered in the same way. While I did not attach a picture that area shows lush lawn growth.Bottom line, for me, this product simply did not live up to expectations.

At first, I was a bit skeptical because it was taking a while to start germinating…. But I found if you keep it completely saturated at least during the summer where it’s warm every day it starts to germinate in about 7 to 10 days…..I see people talking about “how do I keep it from blowing away?”Saying that can be a problem….If you keep it wet from the first time you lay it on the ground, it sticks to the ground It doesn’t go anywhere…I’ve always had a bit of a problem getting grass to grow when I put seed down…. This is the best thing I’ve ever found. I just actually ordered another 50 foot roll….One last thing what’s also great about it as you can cut it to fit…Excellent product recommended 100%
