Jonathan Green’s Contractor’s Grass Seed is the ideal grass seed mixture for soil stabilization or temporary lawn seeding. Contractor’s mix contains annual ryegrass so it germinates quickly and provides a fast grass cover. It is most often used by new home builders to establish a lawn quickly because it provides an excellent value for the price. Contractor’s Mix can be overseeded with any Black Beauty® Grass Seed Mixture to grow a lawn that will persist for years to come. This seed germinates in 7-10 days.

For the best results, follow the directions below for establishing a new lawn or overseeding an existing one.  

Prepare: 

  • Mow – Mow the lawn at the lowest mower setting before seeding to allow seed to reach the soil.
  • Rake – Rake over the existing grass with a metal rake to remove the thatch layer and any debris to loosen the soil.  Add additional topsoil to fill in holes and level the ground.  
  • Check soil pH level – Have a soil test taken to check your soil’s pH level. Optimum soil pH should be between 6.2 to 7.0.  For a pH below 6.2 use Jonathan Green MAG-I-CAL® Plus for Acidic & Hard Soil to rapidly increase pH. If the pH is above 7.0 use MAG-I-CAL® Plus for Alkaline & Hard Soil to rapidly decrease the soil pH.

Seed:

  • When to apply – The best time to apply seed is mid-August to mid-October while the ground is still warm and the nights are cooler.  Mid-March through mid-May is the next best time to plant, when the soil temperature reaches 55º+ Fahrenheit and the temperature of the air stays consistently warm.
  • Spread seed – Apply half of the seed with a rotary spreader in one direction (north to south) and the remainder in the opposite direction (east to west). It is beneficial to spread a new seeding fertilizer that is high in phosphorus at this time as well.
  • Rake seed – Rake lightly into the ground with a metal rake. Walk with light, even footsteps on the seedbed to firm the soil around the seed. Do not bury the seed more than one fourth of an inch deep. 

Maintain:

  • Water – For best germination, water daily to keep the seedbed moist. Continue watering regularly for a few weeks until the grass plants reach a height of 2 – 2.5 inches. 
  • Mow – Begin mowing when the new grass has reached a height of 3 – 4 inches. Make sure the mower has sharp blades. Be careful not to scalp the lawn, low mowing will stress the root system and encourage the growth of weeds. 

Coverage:

  • 25 lb Bag
    • Overseeding – Seeds up to 6,500 sq. ft.
    • New Lawns  – Seeds up to 3,250 sq. ft.
  • 50 lb Bag

Review for Black Beauty® Ultra Grass Seed
Worked on overseed and bare spots
Review by Michael on January 6, 2021
5/5

Detached and aerated both front and back yards. The guy who aerated had a machine that dropped grass seed as he did it. It’s January here in PA and my lawn is a dark green like it has never been before. Impressed. I seeded a bare spot in late october/early november hoping it was not too late. Nope. Came in nice and full in that spot. Looking forward to the spring green time. I will try all JG products now. I use to be a Scotts man, 100%. Not anymore.

Review for Mag-I-Cal® Plus for Lawns in Alkaline & Hard Soil
Supercharged My Lawn!
Review by Buddy B. on November 16, 2020
5/5

Two years ago I had a lawn company come out and service my lawn. It wasn’t bad but I had several spots that were nothing but weed where the grass just would not fill in. To make a long story short they ruined my lawn! The PH was a little low so lime was applied and six months later my lawn became overtaken by weeds. This past spring we overseeded with Bermuda and the results were poor. The grass germinated but again the weeds took over. In September I overseeded with Fescue and even though the grass started coming in it was still thin with lots of bare spots. Finally I purchased a quality PH/Moisture meter and took readings at various places around the yard. The PH was between 6.9 to 7.2 everywhere which explains the slow growth. Bottom line, the lawn company put down too much lime. A few weeks ago I purchased three bags of Mag-I-Cal for Alkaline soil and applied it following the instructions on the bag then watered the lawn. Since that time we have had two good soaking rains. Today I walked outside and I honestly can not believe my eyes. In just two weeks my lawn went from OK to looking as if I had replaced the entire lawn with sod! Mag-I-Cal is the only thing I have used since seeding. I would not believe it had I not seen it with my own eyes! Amazing!

Review for Black Beauty® Fall Magic Grass Seed
i thought i might have missed the growing season
Review by Matt on October 26, 2020
5/5

I had been working on a project to clear the back half of my property, about 1/2 an acre, and was surprised when everything fell together and I complete the work by October 10th. I thought that I was not going to complete the work until early December. Now that I was a head of schedule, I needed to get grass seed down ASAP so I would be able to establish a lawn this fall and help to choke out weeds in the spring. the temps were in the low to mid 60\’s during the days and in the low 50\’s at night. I thought that it might have gotten to cold to get grass seed to germinate. I put 25LB\’s of this fall magic down because it seemed like the best option and of all the recommendations for the Johnathan Green seed I had read it looked like the best option. I put down the seed on Saturday and set up the sprinklers and hoped I would get some germination. boy, did I ever! the entire yard has evenly germinated and is now starting to thicken up. I am now at two weeks and I hope to be able to walk on it a bit by next week. I need to remove some fallen leaves that are now covering the lawn. I want very impressed with the results of this seed compared to other seeds I have used. this came up fast and green. I will definitely over seed with a different blend in the spring but I am very happy with the product as of right now.

Review for Black Beauty® Original Grass Seed
Best Grass Ever
Review by Clint on October 19, 2020
5/5

I have tried like every brand, Scott’s, Pennington, even that Vigero stuff. Every other seed had issue with poor germination, poor drought tolerance, water saving fillers that took up half the weight of the bag, poor disease tolerance. I used this Black Beauty last fall (2019) because it was the only thing left in this little country hardware store. It’s the best grass I have ever planted in my life (I’m 42). It’s so impressive I took to the internet to see if other felt the same and apparently they do. I will be buying this every time I need seed for now on, even if that means buying in advance online. I haven’t seen it anyplace around here this year. I think Scott’s and Pennington sell poor seed on purpose so they can stay in business from everybody having to buy it over and over at Home Depot and Lowe’s. Black Beauty is once and done. It’s almost to good to be true.

Review for Mag-I-Cal® Plus for Lawns in Acidic & Hard Soil
Not happy
Review by Phil R on October 19, 2020
1/5

At the recommendation of my local hardware store I tried Mag-I-Cal. This was back in April. When I tested the soil pH a month later it had actually gone down. I added regular lime and the lawn started to green up, and the pH went up by half a point. I’m moving on from Mag-I-Cal.

 

JG Response:  Please email us at ask@jonathangreen.com. Did you use Mag-I-Cal for Lawns in Acidic Soil or Mag-I-Cal Plus for Lawns in Acidic Soil?  What soil kit was used? If it was one with a powder, then alkaline water could have skewed the test. Mag-I-Cal is five times stronger than regular lime. Regular lime also takes a long time to raise pH, therefore, it is highly doubtful the regular lime had any effect that quickly. April temperatures were fairly cold. It is likely that once the soil temperatures warmed up, then the Mag-I-Cal began to work.

Review for Black Beauty® Ultra Grass Seed
Green shoots within a week
Review by Jayson on September 14, 2020
5/5

Big fan of this grass, green shoots came in quickly and filled out nicely as the grass continued to germinate. Applied in early Sept with no noticeable weed content. For best results get a proper soil sample before seeding so that you can select a proper fertilizer/lime/ etc to go along with it when seeding / overseeding.

Review for Black Beauty® Ultra Grass Seed
Very disappointed
Review by Mike on August 18, 2020
1/5

Initial grass came in good after a week but so did all the crab grass. Must have gotten a bad mix. Pulled out all crab grass added fresh garden soil reseeded, more crab grass. Have had better luck with JG in the past, not this year, very disappointed won’t buy again.

 

JG Response: Crabgrass is not a contaminant in our grass seed production fields. When you disturb the soil (as you should) by raking to prepare a good seed bed for seeding, you bring crabgrass seeds to the surface where they will germinate, especially if you seeded in July. September is a better time to seed because crabgrass germination is less likely as soil temperatures begin to cool. For further assistance, email us at ask@jonathangreen.com.

I did a complete lawn renovation and seeded with Black Beauty Ultra. The results are outstanding! The ryegrass germinated in 7 days and the tall fescue germinated in 14 days. A year later I have the only green lawn on the block in this July heat. If someone ever has an issue growing this seed I can guarantee it’s an environmental issue (weather, heat, poor soil, etc) not a seed issue.

Spent Almost $90.00 With hopes of filling in some bare spots with nice grass. I dethatched the lawn & raked followed all instructions. After 3 weeks none of the seed germinated, Tried again after a month, 2 weeks later & still nothing! I guess I will have to go back to Scotts or Pennington. With so many good reviews I really don\’t understand did I get a bad bag of seed? because I have gotten other brands to grow without issues.

Review for Lawn Weed Control
Don't Recommend
Review by Linda Pine on June 29, 2020
1/5

Bought two bags of Lawn Weed Control and applied according to bag’s instructions. A very few weeds turned yellow for a couple of days, but didn’t die. All the other weeds continued growing without this product having ANY AFFECT ON THEM. It was a complete waste of my time and money. After this monumental failure to perform as advertised, I looked at the bag for a warranty and found that JG specifically disclaims the product will perform as advertised and denies there is a warranty (unless your state of residence prohibits them from limiting a warranty). This information is printed in such small print it’s almost impossible to read it in the store before purchasing. At least with Scott’s products the purchaser receives a warranty. Rest assured I won’t be using any JG products in the future!

 

JG response – Please email us through our FAQ tab. We have some questions. We will help you out.

I bought a bag of Ultra for $80 with high expectations. Unfortunately nothing germinated. I followed instructions, watered,etc. I raked it after three weeks and found seed but no grass. I bought another bag of Ultra from my local hardware store thinking that what I bought online was somehow defective. The same results with half the bag. Nothing germinated. I’m very disappointed. Will return to Scott’s brand after spending $160 on Jonathan Green☹️.

Review for Blue Panther® Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed
Great Results

5/5

I got tired of buying coated grass seed that was 75% seed 25% coatings. Made the switch and couldn\’t be happier. Prep is key, I power thatched first then used the slit cut attachment to cut my soil. Over seeded using Blue Panther, Germenation was as stated, about 21 days, however got better as time went on. I estimate about 95% germination after 40 days. Nice strong growth, great dark color. Will be doing a fall over seed with this as well. No more over spending for a coated product. This seed is fantastic.

I have to admit that I was very skeptical about Love Your Soil and Magi-I-Cal Plus but after using both products for less than one year, I’m a true believer! Like many households in North Carolina, my clay soil was extremely compact and very hard to work with even after amending it with screened compost and peat moss. After using both products my soil appears to be less dense, I don’t have puddles of standing water and my grass is deep green even during extended periods of drought. My lawn might not be picture perfect yet but I finally feel that I’m on the correct path to a much healthier soil and lawn. Thank you for making professional grade products available to home owners.

Very disappointed
Review by JBLevine on June 1, 2020

I purchased Dense Shade for large patches in two very shady areas (I\’d estimate 70-80% shade) of the lawn, in addition to the Ultra sun and shade for over-seeding in the entire yard (total 11,000sf). I only got very sparse germination in the two shady areas I was most concerned about (have photos I could send). I followed all preparation instructions: aerated, limed soil to bring pH between 6-7, applied Jonathan Green\’s starter fertilizer after the seed and raked it all in gently, made sure seed was well and evenly distributed; then watered about 2x day to keep moist (sometimes 3x if needed). We had cooler-than normal temps the first two weeks of May — high 50s/low 60s, but steadily in the high 60s-low 80s in the last two weeks. Now, most of the yard is lush, thick green, but just over 4 weeks after planting, the shady areas are still mostly bare. Not sure what else I could have done? Frankly, I\’m surprised by all the 5-star ratings here!

JG: Photos requested by email.

Review for Mag-I-Cal® Plus for Lawns in Alkaline & Hard Soil
Just what my lawn needed
Review by Kevin Wheeler on May 26, 2020
5/5

My lawn was struggling. There were a few areas that never greened up and weeds were persistent. Fertilizing didn’t help. I took a few soil samples and took them to the USDA lab by the house. Found out the lawn was alkaline at roughly 7.5 ph. I started applying elemental sulphur last year but did not see any difference. This year I decided to try something different. I purchased an electric dethatcher/scarifier and went to town on my yard. It looked bad when I was done. I also aerated with a core machine. When that was done, I applied mag-i-cal plus, love your soil, black beauty ultra seed as well as starter fertilizer. In the 6 weeks since I did this work, my yard has never looked better. I have the greenest yard on the block. The thin spots have filled in nicely and I will make these Jonathan Green products part of my yearly application. I am very happy with these products.

This is the first time I have re seeded my last(last fall). It’s now the end of May, and there are so much weeds, just like before. I cut the grass high(doesn’t remove much) but I’m afraid to cut too low. The temperature has been cold most of the spring, so hoping to see more growth in June. Applied Magi-Cal this week. Since I’m new at this, I hope I’m doing all this correctly.

Went from one of the worst yards in the neighborhood to one of the best. For many years just could not get the grass to thrive and it would typically thin out and die in late summer. Last year (2019) started using Love Your Soil as well as the Mag-I-Cal product (have mostly clay soil). Fast forward to May 2020 and the entire yard is thick, green, and healthy…primarily because the roots are now much deeper. Fired the lawn-care company and now going DIY with the JG lawn care plan.

We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our Shady Nooks Grass Seed Mixture.  You are correct that we did have 10% Poa Trivialis in this mixture three years ago. Poa Trivialis is a great choice for lawns that are grown in damp shade.  It is not a good grass for sunny areas of the lawn, because in the sun it looks very different. It creates a mottled appearance in the lawn and looks like a contaminant. We thought that the name of this grass seed mixture Shady Nooks and the descriptive phrase on the bag, “Survives in shady areas, wet or dry, where others have failed” would alert our customers to the fact that this was not a grass seed mixture to plant in the sunny areas of the lawn.  We did receive a few complaints about poa trivialis by people who had planted it in the sunny areas of their lawn and decided that we should stop using poa trivialis in Shady Nooks which as I stated earlier was three years ago.   If you check out the reviews for Shady Nooks on our website there are 108 of them right now.  85 give Shady Nooks a 5- Star Rating, 21 a 4-Star Rating and 2 a 3-Star Rating.  There are no 2-star or 1-star ratings so the vast majority of our customers really like the Shady Nooks Grass Seed Mixture. If you write back with your address we will send you a bag of the new mixture to try, we think that you will like what you see in your lawn this time.  

Thank you for your feedback,  The Jonathan Green Team

Our German Shepherd and Belgian Malinios turned our yard into a mud pit, it was actually two large mud pits. We seeded a total of 2 separate times about 3 weeks apart and put mushroom compost over it and watered twice a day. I am now SO happy to see nice green grass that withstands the force of my working dogs.

A fantastic grass seed, we had a big party in our yard and used a umbrella stand on the lawn. We liked how it looked and worked, so we left it there fo the summer. After removing it there was a big round dead spot left. One application of this seed and ina week we had grass, two weeks and you cound not tell there was a big round dead spot.

Good germination, nice dark green grass, does take a few weeks to get going. Grass seed was fresh, and as far as I can tell, it all germinated.
Used as a fall overseed, but my lawn was so bare from neglect – it was almost a do over. I spread at overseeding rates. Coverage was excellent regardless of being spread a bit thin. Lawn is like a carpet now – and I’ve gotten more than a few compliments. I’m looking forward to how it looks in the spring.

I live in the back of a large apt. complex, the area behind my apt. is very shady, the landscapers ignore it because management doesn’t come back there very often. It’s been many years since sine there has been any grass because it’s so shady. I just threw the seed out , no prep work, used a gallon jug to spread it the best I could. It started growing in about 9 or 10 days, I have green grass behind my apartment for the time in many years, The landscapers can’t ignore it anymore , now they have to mow it.

Review by Roblox is epic on November 5, 2019
5/5

This is my second time buying this product and i was not disappointed. Germinated in exactly 7 days after aerating and seeding with starter feet, milorganite and light covering of peat moss to retain moisture. Nice dark green color, grows strong even on a slope with heavy fall rain and looks like a blanket. Even in the shade this grass will germinate and come in thick. During the summers here in N.C. (transition zone) the heat can be a monster with months of no rain and Avg temps in the mid 90’s so i did have some dieback and dormancy due to high heat, but the grass that survived bounced right back when the temps cooled down and fall finally arrived 3 weeks late lol. I suggest aeration, stater fert, milo, and peat moss as i have no weeds! The pics are after one month and i can already walk on it but I’d rather not until my first mow. And for best results, plant in the fall. I’m moving this summer but my next yard will be a JG yard!
FYI… my neighbor used Scott’s. My dominantion line is gonna be sick!

Review by M. Arias on November 3, 2019
4/5

The product worked as described. As you can see from the pictures, the grass seeds grew. Although they were bare spots, I believe those were areas where I did not put enough seed. You can see in the 6-week picture how full the lawn is even with the bare spots. You will notice that the grass is bent over but that is because I used a leaf blower to blow the leaves out of the lawn.
People complained the seeds didn’t grow. Here are my tips: plant in the fall, put compost before seeding, use starter fertilizer, water twice a day for maybe 15 mins (this will vary depending on the sprinkler system you have) for first 3 weeks then once a day then every other day, mow after 4 weeks, add starter fertilizer again, switch to watering 1-1.5″ per week. I will be putting a winter fertilizer in the next week or two so it will be in good shape for next spring.

Review by Michael on October 24, 2019

As I put the seed down mid October due to such hot weather in September followed by a vacation it is difficult to determine at this point how the seed will do. There is some seed that has come up but we are have temperatures below 60 degrees at night – not the ideal conditions to have planted seed. I will keep you posted in the spring. I may over seed in the early spring which of course is less than ideal. With all of that said I really did not give this seed a fair shot so it is difficult for me to give a fair review.

Review by Fred Currier on October 23, 2019
5/5

This is my first time overseeding an established area or seeding from scratch.
Most of the 5200sf that I overseeded was growing well, but really bumpy and loaded with weeds and moss. Overseeded at bag rate (2.5lbs/1000sf): 29 days later, I’m absolutely thrilled, especially since I wasn’t able to lower the height of the cut prior to overseeding, so I was worried that there wouldn’t be much seed to soil contact. That area was dense, thick and much more even than it had been.
As for the areas that were bare: Much of it was so compacted from being “the path from the house to the driveway”, and raking to get some loose soil sounded like I was raking concrete. Again, 29 days later, with topsoil, I am thrilled with the results. It’s not as thick as the 40+ year lawn, obviously… but with more time and attention, I am confident that I can get it there.

First time using Johnathon Greens Black Beauty Ultra and I’m very happy so far. Started germinating in 5 days and it’s now going on 4 weeks and my lawn looks very nice. It still has a ways to go from being a newly renovated lawn( only soil) and adding fertilizer today for low potassium and nitrogen.

I dethatched lawn lawn really well with green works dethatcher, moved very short, applied products listed above in the same day. I did not rake the seed into soil. Watered three times a day for 6 minutes the first two weeks, then watered 25 minutes every other day for the last two weeks.

Review for Black Beauty® Fall Magic Grass Seed
It grew!
Review by James Clark on October 2, 2019
5/5

After trying to reseed parts of the lawn that are just dead for over 3 years with the generic big box grass seed, decided to try this, as I read a review from somebody in northern Virginia, who said it worked for them. Loosened the areas to be reseeded with a rake, threw some potting soil down in the patches, mixed in the grass seed, and watered. I am no expert level gardener. To my surprise, it grew ! Lovely, fresh, green grass. I will buy more and tackle the rest of the bare patches. Planted mid September and its now the beginning of October and coming in nicely. Previously, I had seeded in spring. Fall seems to work better round here. Will be buying more.

Review by DABHAA on September 30, 2019
5/5

Very pleased with this product. My lawn was in very poor condition, covered in several different weeds and bare spots. Prior to applying the soil food, I prepared the lawn; pulled all the weeds and raked my lawn, in the front and backyard. I mowed the lawn and did not water it for 5 days to make sure the soil was dry as recommended, then applied the soil food manually (didn’t have a spreader at the time), by mid June. I didn’t do anything else except for deep watering my lawn twice a week the whole summer. I had thought about over-seeding at times in summer, but then wanted to wait until fall, and now I see that I don’t need to plant grass seeds. About a few months later, now in fall, a thick healthy grass has been taking over all the weeds and bare areas. I’ll apply the soil food once a year in spring from now on.

Germination is slower than the big store seed
But
I’m liking the results since overseeding on Labor Day.
Daily watering is important.
I found some areas lagging on germination but found fault to be the sprinkler system, adjusted that and grass popped.
Will repeat process again next fall to build hopefully a great lawn.

Review for Black Beauty® Dense Shade Grass Seed
Probably not for northeast Texas climate
Review by Scumfrog on September 27, 2019
5/5

The seed germinates very quickly and does a great job covering the area seeded. One word of caution. If this grass gets even any indirect sun in the northeast Texas climate, the grass finally dies. It must be in total shade ALL the time to do well in Texas. I am hoping the grass that is in total shade stays healthy. I know it says DENSE SHADE grass and that is why I am giving it a five since it does what they say but again I am not too sure it can take the Texas heat even if it is in total shade.

Best Grass Seed Ever!!!
Review by David D. on September 26, 2019
5/5

In 13 years I’ve never had a “permanent” yard. Most years, I let crabgrass and other stuff rule my yard in the hot months. During cool months, I relied on annual ryegrass to keep my yard pretty.
This year I tried Jonathan Green products. Twice.
First time, things looked great, but died out after 4 weeks.
Second time, I applied grub killer to my yard. The results were amazing. I’ve never seen a better/greener/faster yard than with Johnathan Green Black Beauty Ultra. I’ve posted YouTube videos @David Deutscher.
Yes, it is expensive. But right now I’m doing a test between Black Beauty and Scotts Commercial. No comparison. Black Beauty will need mowing within two weeks.
Scotts continues to need water after two weeks.

The only seed that works!!!
Review by Lisa C. on September 26, 2019
5/5

I bought this locally and just ordered more on Amazon. It was planted last week and is growing quite well in the Chicago area. I’m using it to overseed and repair a lot of empty spots under a big river birch tree.
One tip: don’t waste time making the lawn perfect for grass seed. I mowed to a shorter than normal level, I leave the grass clippings (all year), and I throw the grass seed by spreader and water lightly for a few days, more if it is dry. My lawn in back will never be great because of dogs, but at least it won’t be a mud pit.
My front lawn is beautiful under a maple tree. Leave your grass clippings— best thing you can do for your lawn.

Got this for a dense shaded area within a week the grass is coming in nicely. Will order more for sun/shade for the rest of my lawn. I tried another well known brand and had not one seed sprouted. Hopefully black beauty will be just as successful with the sun/shade mix as I was with the dense shade mix. A little on the higher price but if it works than its’ worth it to me, instead of wasting money on seed that doesn’t ever sprout. I would give it 5 stars but I don’t know yet how it will continue to grow and hold up yet.

Here are 2 before and after pics. This seed germinated nicely and quickly. I am in Northern Virginia, and let the summer destroy my lawn as I did not follow a good watering routine. I dethatched, aerated and over-seeded on September 3rd 2019, The pics shows the new grass after the first mow on Sept 24th 2019, in 21 days my grass was thick and healthy. I highly recommend this grass seed.
**make sure you do the prep work before seeding, also you must water the seed/lawn at least twice a day for 15-30 minutes to keep the ground moist to get the best results..

This seed germinated quickly with twice-daily watering. Visible grass blades in about 7 days. Application was for new grass area. Approx 1in of new topsoil. Applied lime, new seed fertilizer, dense shade seed, and covered with straw. I believe my rotary spread application was not even and I would recommend perpendicular passes with the spreader for more even distribution.

Review by Annabelle Latizia on September 18, 2019
5/5

I was wary to go with this program because I had never used Jonathan Green products before but I have to say I am very happy with the results. 

 

I got my soil tested last year and have a very low pH and very hard soil. I wanted a lawn care solution that dealt with both of these issues. And I think this is it. I’m only two steps in so far but my lawn looks great. Especially the shady parts of my lawn that I haven’t been able to fix in the past. 

 

These products have been the best working I’ve tried so far.

Green and grew quickly
Review by Jonathan Green on September 16, 2019
5/5

Thing to know. Use a lot of seeds. After seeding once and experimenting, I found best results where I seeded pretty thickly. I raked then then threw seeds out and then watered about 5-10 min a day depending on heat/weather. Bag says 2-3 weeks to sprout but I saw green in about a week. Super green when it’s sprouting. We’ll see how it does long term, but I’m pleased with the start. I bought a second round to fill in my lack of spread consistency in my first try. I was trying to seed a pretty big area. My yard is super shaded and completely treed and this grass is still growing. I’m about 3 weeks into the process and I’d say my shoots are about an inch and a half maybe 2 inches. I just threw out the second batch of seed so we’ll see how that does. Will update this review as I see how it does. I gave presentation 4 stars because I want to see how it does longer term and whether it holds at the first mowing, etc.

This seed is amazing!! I replaced the gravel inside the retaining wall with this seed. The entire area is all rocky clay so I was sceptical that I could get anything to grow without a ton of work. However, I did nothing else other than spread the seed and cover it with a thin layer of leftover potting soil to keep the birds from eating it. Picture #1 is day 3 and picture #2 is day 8. The entire area gets no sun at all. Thank you Jonathan Green!! Highly recommended.

By this time of year I’ve usually have a lawn full of crabgrass but not this year. The Jonathan Green Green-Up and Crabgrass Preventer fertilizer worked better than other crabgrass preventers I’ve used. 

 

It greened up my lawn just as good as Scotts but the color lasted longer and NO CRABGRASS! Jonathan Green works and I’m not constantly battling my lawn anymore.

I was at first skeptical because we have tried many different ,supposedly the ultimate grass seed.
However, Jonathan green delivered.! I have 3 large dogs and I foster rescue dogs and our yard gets torn up!
I threw this seed dow, no prep and we had had a lot of rain and in 4 days it exploded! Long green blades everywhere.
SO far it is holding up tp the dogs. and is still growing. I did a second sow and used straw over it and we had a ton of rain the straw helped hold it and again an explosion and grass is growing in the weeds! I just threw this seed everywhere . I will be getting more to do another sowing for fall. Totally worth the money!!

Review by dvd on July 8, 2019
4/5

I did blend this product with another brand, so I can’t say – with certainty – that these seeds germinated. But the lawn under a huge shade tree came up nicely – so I’ll have to say, overall, it was a success. The seed did take almost 2 weeks to start to germinate — I thought it should have came up quicker considering the ideal weather conditions and that I sowed the seeds before the shade tree leafed out to give them optimum sun – along with watering daily. They came up quite thin and sparse at first — I’d say it took a good month before it could be safely mowed without damaging the baby shoots. Even now (early summer) I’d have to say the lawn did not come up as thick as I had hoped for — but I’m ok with the result, considering I could never get a blade of grass to grow in the bare spots for almost 10 years. So this year I turned over the soil with a tiller early in the year, added peat moss and other nutrients and started from scratch with a new lawn — definitely the best lawn I’ve had in 10 years.

Review for Black Beauty® Original Grass Seed
My residence looks like it has a commercial lawn!
Review by Cbensch on July 7, 2019
5/5

We had a few areas where we needed new lawn. After trying a dozen or so other varieties through the years, often with mixed results, I wanted to try something different so I went with Jonathan Green Original.
The first, and largest area, was where we once had over 40 trees removed in early 2018. It is a large area and has steep slopes. The second area was in the front of the house where we had to dig up our below-grade wellhead to replace the well pump. I planted the seed on Easter Day this year (2019) using a commercial over-seeder for both locations. I used Scott’s starter fertilizer in all of the locations. It was a cold, rainy and mostly cloudy spring here in Connecticut. Germination took over 20 days. I even had the water sprinklers going three times a day for 15 minutes each time. I admit I was getting worried, but was thrilled when I saw some shoots coming up. After the grass germinated, it took nearly 6 weeks before it was high enough to mow it. I attribute that to the lousy weather and colder than average days.
I am now into early July. The old grass in the front, over the well (as you can see in the photo with the dark green patch and the lighter green grass all around it) has not been fertilized since Easter. There is a MAJOR difference between the J Green grass and the old lawn around it. The new grass is darker. It stays upright even after driving over it with my Kubota. It is much more draught tolerant as it’s still healthy even as the original grass around it is wilting in the July heat. The lawn in the back is the same. Thick, dark green and healthy.
The soil in the back yard is interesting. There are areas where there were thick beds of stump material from stump grinding and it’s kind of spongy. There are areas where the soil is in fact “top soil” with no sand, but it’s hard and compacted. And then there are areas with a high percentage of mixed in wood chips. As the arborists used a wood chipper to chip up the ten foot high pile of trees, I had a large pile of wood chips leftover. I knew I was taking a risk, but I spread those chips in the lowest area to raise it up a bit. The grass is growing well in all of the soil types, except the area raised with wood chips. I am not surprised really, and will spread compost over the top to revitalize it a bit. This is a perfect example of how the health of your soil is directly attributed to the health of your grass!
I am very pleased. So much so that I may kill off the old lawn and restart completely with Jonathan Green. If I could give this seed an 11 I would!

Review by Jonathan Green Customer on June 25, 2019

I’ve tried several other grass seed mixes from local places and from the usual folks (Scott’s, Pennington). Nothing has worked as well as this for my lawn.
I’m in Maryland, and have very sandy soil. Most grass seeds I’ve seen either fail to germinate, or die off within a month or two 90 degree+ weather (mostly because I am terrible about watering regularly). I overseeded what was essentially a crab grass lawn with this, and much to my surprise, it has flourished. It’s doing great in the full-sun parts of my yard as well as the densely shaded front yard with little work on my part. I definitely recommend it.

EXCELLENT GROWTH
Review by Shane on June 13, 2019
5/5

It has been approximately 10 days since planting. I roto-tilled the ground, laid a layer of top soil, spread the seed, put down a thin layer of top soil and followed with thin layer of grass clippings. I watered to wet the ground every other day (no pooling). I am beginning to see some new grass in a very few spots. We have very poor hard dirt in this part of Wyoming, but after breaking it up and putting down top soil I expected better results. I had better results several years ago with seed advertised on TV to grow on anything. In that case I did not put down top soil or break up the ground and got much quicker and better results and it was less expensive. I am giving this seed 4 stars hoping that with time it will germinate more. The worst area of the lawn had been damaged just over a year ago when the neighbor had the gravel, in her yard, sprayed for weeds and the run off from that came into our yard killing a large strip of grass. I extensively tilled the soil in this area and put in top soil in hopes of rejuvenating this soil so the grass would take hold, so far no positive results from this seed. I am still giving 4 stars since it may take a little longer to germinate and there are all the other environmental problems also. I think the price point was somewhat high for this seed.
I am updating my review. A few days after my first review and 2 natural rains the grass seed took off. You could almost watch it grow. It responds much better to rain water than residential water. It filled in the entire strip that had accidentally gotten poisoned last summer. I now have areas that have grass that have been bare for years. I have almost an entire yard of healthy grass and it is improving daily. I have had excellent results now and am upping my review to 5 stars.

Super Dark Green and Healthy
Review by Dr. Mistoffelees on June 6, 2019
5/5

First time making a lawn and using this seed. I used 2 50lb bags for a new construction 7,000sqft lawn in the Olympic Peninsula of WA state. I learned I should’ve used a preemergent like Tenacity at the time of seeding since I used compost as a base and the weeds took off at first. However, after about 8 weeks the grass thickened up so much that I hardly notice the weeds. I’ve already mowed 3 times since week 5 and this weekend I’ll be spot spraying with 24d to clear out the weeds. This grass is a super thick, super dark green, super soft grass. I can’t wait for lawn games with the kids.
All the other grasses in the neighborhood are already showing signs of heat stress and this stuff looks like it’ll keep on staying green with out fertilizer all summer. I’m so happy with this grass, I have 100,000 more sqft of lawn I’m going to try this on at different homes in my neighborhood. I’ll be buying a lot more Jonathan Green.

Excellent NPK ratio for young grass seeds and very quick greening. I generally use organic fertilizers; however, for clean and effective fertilizer for the home lawn this product is the best I have used so far. Pellets arrived intact, fresh, and ready to spread. Very little dust or residue. I will definitely buy and use again.

Great grass seed. Grow quickly. I bought 12 bags total. Each 3 pound bag is said to covers about 400 sq. feet. Really covers about 250 sq. feet if your using it to cover a bare area. That being said it works great, thus the reason I bought 12 bags. Will buy again.

Works Above and Beyond Expectations

This stuff works, I thought it would be all right like other granular weed preventers – but dang it blew crabgrass out of the park. Easily 97% of my lawn is crabgrass free now – perhaps 50% was crabgrass free last summer without use. I live in Minnesota, applied April 21 and it is now early June and the lawn is full of beautiful Fescues, with minor amount of crabgrass/other grassy weeds. As a note: the amount of plantain/broadleaf weeds is maybe 3% of what it was before use too. Will purchase again and add to my lawn care regimen.

I have tried for more than a few years with “Big Box Store” shady-area seed and no grass would grow in my Northern Virginia yard. I planted Jonathan Green Dense Shade Grass this last fall (Nov) and the few areas that didn’t fill in by spring I replanted. You see in the pics that it is now about 6″ high (May) with no bare spots. This is in a VERY shady area under a large tree. I even planted some extra seed in a sunny spot and it also grew quite nicely. Could not be happier and cannot recommend this seed highly enough!

I had an area underneath an oak tree where everything we’ve tried in the last 15 years died. I ordered this seed, aerated the area, spread the seed very heavy (heaviest setting on Scott’s Wizz handheld spreader, fertilized, and watered about 15 minutes every day for two weeks with impact sprinkler. On day seven, I had peach fuzz and by day 14, I had grass that I had to cut. Really makes that spot looks good now. Hopefully it will come back next spring after going dormant this winter.

Over seeded (Heavily) my 1/4 acre last fall. Within a few weeks it germinated and took off… IN WINTER!. I couldn’t cut it due to the weather and it not only kept growing, mine was the only green lawn in the neighborhood (TENNESSEE). Now that its grass cutting season, it still grows 4-6″ a week. The only odd thing is the grass is a light shade of green opposed to a deep green in the surrounding area/lawns. Not a bad thing, I just figured green was green…

We have never been able to grow anything but Bermuda grass. Our soil is very dry and clay. We tried this before going with a very expensive sod figured if didn’t work only out 100 dollars, if it did saved 1k. Well within 8 days we saw sprouts this is day 11 and still filling in but it looks as though we saved 1k. We live in zone 8b we watered three times a day for about ten minutes at a time it is also extremely windy we used the entire bag on approximately 2k Sqft.

Review for Black Beauty® Ultra Grass Seed
Yes, well named....
Review by Hondo on April 24, 2019
5/5

This is a great quality grass with a deep green color. It seems to retreat significantly in the winter, and also seems like it’s slower to come alive in the Spring, but it’s a great quality grass. Very nice underfoot, and the kids tell me it feels nice in barefoot. Once alive in the summer, it fills in nicely. This is a lower-growing grass compared to others, but neighbors constantly tell me how nice it looks. I was using Pennington Sun and Shade, which I liked a lot, but this is better. Recommended.
UPDATE October 2019: Here in Virginia, we have a problem with Buttonweed, which left to its own devices, will grow in thick, heavy matts, crowding out even zoysia (and I didn’t think anything crowded out zoysia). I tried various weed killers with 2-4-D, but they only annoyed the buttonweed and didn’t kill it off. I finally decided I had enough of this menace, after trying unsuccessfully to hand-pull it (complete waste of time). So I picked up a weed killer called Celsius, which was known to kill off buttonweed for good. It was expensive, and the Celsius certainly worked – however…..
There was warning that Celsius will kill off “warm weather grasses”. I had no idea if Black Beauty was warm weather grass or otherwise, given it was a mix of different seed type. But it wasn’t long before I found out. After my Spring fertilizing, I told a neighbor that after 15 years, I had finally gotten my lawn where I wanted it. The BB seed created a beautiful, lush, thick green lawn – as good as high quality sod, perhaps even better. But then my new seed started to slowly die off. By mid-summer, my lawn had large patches of dead grass almost as if insects had attacked it. It was obvious Celsius was the culprit.
As a consolation, the Celsius definitely killed off the buttonweed. By the end of the summer, I saw only a handful of lonely buttonweed plants in a few spots in my lawn, and these were easily hand-pulled. However, I had to rebuild my lawn as a result. So I ordered more BB, and seeded right after our Summer 2019 7-week drought started in Virginia. The chips seemed to be stacked against me, but I watered regularly, and the seed came in nicely.
The fact that the lawn died back is not the fault of the BB seed, but of the treatment I applied. Given a choice, I would absolutely do it again. Anyone with buttonweed in their lawn knows what I’m talking about. You need to get rid of it completely, but you should do it one season first, THEN re-seed with this seed the following season.
The fact that I bought more BB seed demonstrates that I’m extremely happy with the quality of this seed, its appearance, and its desirability, and still highly recommend it. I wouldn’t consider putting anything else in my lawn at this point.

Even with the lawn service weeds have always been a problem for me. This program has killed the weeds in my lawn and made it thicker than ever.

Review by Rebecca Rieg on April 17, 2019

I honestly wasn’t sure if my yard would even grow grass as it was nothing but sandy dirt when we bought the place, because of that I started off with 2 bags to see what would happen. After about a week and a half I had a ton of grass where I had put the seeds. I’ve since ordered 6 more bags and will probably end up getting another 4 to fill in the spots I missed once all of it grows in and I can see where it is needed. I’m really happy with this purchase. Also worth noting is that in the pictures it is still growing and some of the bare spots are likely from my dogs running around moving the seeds before they sprouted, I feel like once it grows in enough that I just have to fill in the bare spots I’ll end up with a full yard of grass 🙂

You must put this down at the right time of year. You only have about a two week window. Typically you can judge this by when the forsythia is blooming. Basically You need to put it down when the soil is just at the right temperature for seed germination. That’s with corn gluten meal does: it stops seed germination. If you find it’s not working, it’s probably user error.

Review by Glockenstein0869 on March 14, 2019
5/5

I have been very pleased with the product. I live in zone 9 and i seeded in November. It is late March and the grass still looks amazing. I suggest using a mechanical spreader and to seed as thickly as possible. It will only make the final outcome look that much better. In the areas I skimped with the seeds, it shows. The grass is lush, dark green, soft.

Great for socal yards with clay soil and poor drainage. Used it with black beauty seed, green-up, and mag-i-cal. Feel this product was the x-factor.

Review for Black Beauty® Original Grass Seed
One of the best seeds around.
Review by Bernard on February 25, 2019
5/5

I ordered Black Beauty through Amazon because none of the major retailers or garden centers in the metro NY & NJ area carry it. I read about it and wanted to give it a try.

I over-seeded my front lawn this spring and it really is lush. I used a drop spreader to seed. Just make sure you water it everyday and in 2 – 3 weeks you should see it sprouting. We had a few very rainy weeks so I didn’t have to water much myself. It definitely appears to have crowded out the growth of crabgrass. Also, I applied a good dose of lime with the drop spreader right after seeding.

I planted this grass late October (NC). I new it was rather late but we have had a mild winter. It’s now February and my front yard is a beautiful green. It’s the best my yard has ever looked. Deer love it when it starts growing and can damage it if you don’t protect it especially early winter when there is nothing else for them to eat. I will buy it again and try it in the back.

There is no other grass seed worth talking about. You plant this seed & you get a Lawn not just grasss. I have been using Black Beauty now for the last 6 years and its the only grass seed that grows with very little care and looks like a million dollars

Very pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow beautiful green carpet of grass in such a shady area that was always a hopeless patch of seemingly lifeless dirt.

Drought tolerant, beautiful lawn. Overseeded an existing lawn, but saw much better performance this past year. Hoping this spring is even better after a year of growth.

It was a good summer for my lawn...was this why? Going to do it again and see!
Review by Jonathan Green Customer on January 22, 2019
5/5

I have acidic clay soil with a poor turf condition full of spotted spurge! Based on recommendations both of Jonathan Green products in general and that low pH encourages weed growth I decided to give this a try, along with a bag of Love Your Soil. I used a pre-emergent crabgrass product as normal but also set my mower up to the highest possible setting as that supposedly helps suppress weeds. Wow! Not perfect, but SOOOO much better than normal. Still some spurge, signficantly less. So I am going keep it up and see if the progress continues. Now if only I could find a way to easily get rid of all that coarse grass without having to dig it out by hand!

It really helped my PH levels in my lawn. Buy a soil tester for best results. You will need to stick with the product line for one year to see major changes in quality. Also re seed as needed.

Does Grow in Sun and Shade

I love this grass. It is beautiful and grows well in dry areas like California. It has a fine blade very much like kentucky blue. Germinates very well and fast. Since my grass is in part in sun and shade, I found it quite consistent in either area,

I have now bought two bags of this and will never buy a different kind. I moved into my home last fall and the grass was mostly weeds and dirt. I eliminated the weeds and then attempted to plant grass. After about 4 different fails (don’t waste your money on Scott or the other brand names!) I decided to try this one. OMG! It grows so easily. It’s very green. It took within days and has stayed green through our mild, Texas winter. I plan to continue to plant it in the spring to get a nice plush lawn! Will purchase again.
