No Fillers Here

Mother Nature has grown grass for a billion years without gimmicks—don’t be fooled by coatings or fillers that give you less seed for more money. At Grass Pad, we sell full-weight bags and recommend using Primera Field Conditioner or Peat Moss to cover the bare spots and a starter fertilizer like Golf Course Starter to feed the grass seed and help establish strong roots.

All Grass, No Weeds

When buying grass seed, always read the analysis label to ensure it contains zero weeds, zero other crops, and minimal inert matter—key indicators of turf-quality seed. Even tiny amounts of weed or crop seeds like annual rye or K-31 can ruin a manicured lawn, so choose seed cleaned by expert farmers with less than 2% inert content.
