Jonathan Green (10970) Black Beauty Heavy Traffic Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (3 lb)

This grass is absolutely gorgeous. I needed something for my back yard that was good with high traffic and sun. Bought my house 2 years ago and the previous owner had dogs that tore up the yard. I feel it should be noted that the label on the back of the bag says to keep the seeds away from live stock. I have chickens in my back yard. So I was unable to use it where I wanted it. I have dandelions in my front yard and read to over seed with other grass I wanted. I did this and I do NOT regret this choice! I’m actually on here to buy another back to convert my grass everywhere on my property! I feel the cost is well worth it! Just review my pictures and it should answer all your questions. It did take a bit to grow, however, I did not take care of it as directed. So this is the work of my limited care. I also spread it with my hands and not a seeder to get the FULL look so it’s easier and works perfect. It out did my expectations!!!

All I can say is that I’ve used black Beauty for yrs and it’s always superseded my expectations. I’ve tried contractors blend Scott’s Pennington nothing really shines. Yea expensive yes sometimes germinating can take 3 weeks. Likes water but for me always good results. Be careful online sometimes you get old bad seed I buy from landscape distributor.Pic 1 burn. (Fall) Spray with salt n vinegar wait till it dries the cut at lowest setting then burn with propane torch down to the dirt. No tilling add seed then a layer of peat moss compost top soil. Add mor seed the even out.Pic 2 after 3 plus weeks. Water 3 times a day.Pic 3 (spring) after 3 cuts. Have to fill in some small spots but overall very satisfied.

Very pleased with this seed. Used it to fill in multiple very large dirt patches in our yard from heavy traffic of our three big dogs. Excellent germination rate and our mud patches are now lush carpets of grass.

Good value but 9nly time will tell just how good this seed produces a lawn. This seed is highly rated in several Internet searches.

Worst grass seed i have bought. Prepared the ground by roughing up the black dirt. Spread the seed, covered with straw matt for grass, keep birds from getting seed and holds in moisture.This is after 4 1/2 weeks.

Plated it this spring put a layer of potting soil down then planted grass all of it came up....did block the dogs off of it until it was past the tender stage

I love Jonathan Green products but this heavy traffic seed is the best ever. It stands up well to my German Shepherd running through it.

I was hoping it would grow like crazy but did not
