Pennington Contractors Grass Seed Mix
Set the course for a high-performance, professional-grade lawn with Pennington Contractors Mix. This bag contains varieties that are formulated for the region in which it is sold, so you can rest easy knowing the seed mix you buy will provide quick, dense, professional-grade results.
This sun-tolerant seed should be planted in the early spring or early fall, and is optimal for areas getting 4 to 6 hours of sun. Once germinated, the grass will grow thick and full. This 7-pound bag covers up to 1,400 square feet for overseeding and 580 square feet for new lawns.
