Product will probably work but unrolling it was a time consuming nightmare

This is not a nicely rolled and easily laid out product. This is a horrible mess of very loosely assembled strings of straw in a really lousy plastic netting where you can’t even figure out where it starts, and when you do figure it out where it starts, have to constantly keep breaking the netting in order for it to keep on rolling. Literally, I was halfway through the roll before it actually started looking like something I could just lay out and it was still very loose and very open . HORRIBLE

I read the reviews and some of the concerns of other buyers so I worked really hard to make this product work. It is hard to unroll but if you take your time and look for the red stripe you can make it work. It did a good job of covering roto-tilled dirt and the grass seed that I spread to remake the front lawn after a very hard winter basically turned the yard into a muddy patch. After installing the bedding I watered this patch religiously each morning but was disappointed that much of the grass seed did not germinate. Then after a few weeks the straw material started to disintegrate and the plastic webbing became very loose. In the end I was not pleased with the results. I believe the straw bedding was too thick to allow much of the seed to germinate from lack of sunlight. Plus now the plastic bedding has to be torn up to mow what little grass did develop. Plus the little green spikes to hold the bedding in place definitely are not biodegradable. I think this product might be more suited for hills or steep inclines but it didn’t work well for me on our flat front lawn.

Worked better than expected. Very easy to use. Just rolled it out and cut off the amount of coverage I needed. My grass seeds started growing within a few days. I would definitely buy again.

Cons: Does not retain water exceptionally well. It rained all yesterday during the day and by the afternoon of today, the topsoil was drying out under the blanket because it is fairly thin. Bottom line: I will have to water at least once a day and probably twice during dry weather.Pros: Does keep the birds off the freshly planted grass seed which has been a problem in the past. Kept my newly-added top soil in place despite heavy rains that would have quickly caused some erosion if left uncovered. Last, had no problem cutting it into sections with kitchen utility scissors to fit the corner of my yard fence.Ultimately, I recommend this covering to ensure successful new grass growth. Just pay attention to requirements for watering to keep soil moist.

Work perfectly for my application. I saw some reviews that said the product was hard to get it started, but the beginning of the role was highly identified by a red line it rolled out just fine and then we use the included stake’s to help hold it down. Now we’re just waiting for the grass seed to grow from underneath and blend in with the mat

I notice quite a number of negative comment about this product, but I had no problem using it. You do need to be a bit careful when first unrolling it. I found it to be especially useful when reseeding a small hill on our reverse story and a half. I also used it when reseeding a flat spot in our yard, in that it's a reminder not to walk on or mow the reseeded area. The biodegradable posts are nice but not really needed. But if you do use them the yard needs to water in first and one needs to be careful hammering in the posts. I personally like to pick it up several weeks after the new seed is fully growing in well even though it is biodegradable. I simply roll it back up and put it in our lawn recycle bags. It easily rolls up once reseeded area is established if you're careful in pulling it up. Part of this is because our Westie will walk on it and does track some of the fibers in.

Great product. Worked perfectly keep the dog off the new topsoil and seed after. Landscaping project. Seemed to help the seed germinate and get started, held up well and was very easy to install.
