Scotts EZ Patch Lawn Repair Mulch and Fertilizer for St. Augustine Grass, 3.75 lb (2 Pack) – Lawn Repair Mix Covers Up to 170 sq ft

What It Is

This is a lawn repair mix specifically formulated for St. Augustine grass. It combines mulch, fertilizer, and seed to fill bare or damaged patches up to 170 sq ft total (two 3.75 lb bags). It’s a spot-treatment product, not for full-lawn overseeding.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Grass type only: Works exclusively with St. Augustine grass. Do not use on Bermuda, Zoysia, Fescue, or other turf types—it won’t match growth habits or shade tolerance.
• No machine required: This is a hand-applied mulch/seed blend. No mower, spreader, or attachment needed. Just rake, spread, and water.
• Coverage: Each bag covers ~85 sq ft. The 2-pack covers up to 170 sq ft total. Measure your patch area before buying—if you need more than 170 sq ft, you’ll need multiple packs.
• Climate check: St. Augustine thrives in warm, humid regions (USDA zones 8-10). If you’re in a cooler or dry climate, this mix will likely fail.

Key Things to Know

• No seed included: This product is a mulch + fertilizer blend. It does not contain actual grass seed. It works by encouraging existing St. Augustine runners to fill in bare spots. If your patch is completely bare with no surrounding grass, this won’t help.
• Installation is simple: Lightly rake the patch, spread the mix evenly (about 1/8-inch layer), water gently daily for 2-3 weeks. No special tools or skills needed.
• Timing matters: Apply during active growth (late spring to early fall). Applying in winter or drought will waste the product.
• Only 1 review: The 5.0 rating is from a single review—don’t treat it as proven. Consider buying a single bag first to test on a small patch.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a warm-season St. Augustine lawn with small bare spots (under 170 sq ft total) and you want a simple, no-mix solution. Skip it if you’re dealing with large dead areas, need actual seed, or have a different grass type. For the price ($59.95 for 2-pack), it’s a niche fix—only worth it if your lawn matches exactly.
