Customer photo review of GCI Turf Cool Blue Grass Seed
Eric T.
Second time ordering from GCI Turf. Both times the seed quality was great, and I got a significant amount of germination out of both seeds. As they promise, their grass seed has no weeds in them. Shipping was also quick and very well packaged both times. Overseeded with TTTF last fall and this spring, spread some Cool Blue in to try to help thicken up the lawn. The TTTF looks great, and I expect the Cool Blue to look fantastic as well.

I use this each year now, as it absolutely helps to prevent AND cure lawn fungus for my fescue. I have zero fungus issues when sticking to my plan of applying it with propiconazole 14.3 every 21 days. Worth the money if you want to remain fungus free!

I seeded a section of my Mississippi yard in Blue Heat this past September. I have Pete’s Elite Guid and I’m throwing all his tricks into surviving the blazing Sippie Heat. I believe the 5-0-5 is a great tool to have on your belt to battle heat. This picture was taken the last week of July. I am not where I want to be but I’m getting oh so close and can’t wait to seed in late September. I’ll seed late because I’m knocking back my old grass with Quinclorac and spotting Glyposate and giving the he...

I seeded this section of my front yard in Blue Heat. I live in the DEEP South, Mississippi. I have Pete’s Elite Cool Season Guid and I’m using all his tricks to survive the heat of our Summers. I feel like the Cal-tide is a good tool to have in your belt when dealing with heat stress. I’m not where I want to be BUT I have a ton of Bluegrass that is surviving a blazing hot environment. Looking forward to seeding 💪🏼

I have been using seed from Pete and GCI for the past few years now. Cannot say enough about the quality found in Cool Blue. This is right smack in the heat of the summer here in Ohio and the yard is still popping like crazy! Mower blades even could use a sharpening too and the grass still looks great regardless. Just ordered some more to take care of a few areas that need repaired in the backyard this fall.

This is GCI’s Cool Blue seed in action here in Magnolia, DE. Even with the high heat and humidity that comes with July, it’s pretty resilient and stripes up nice!

Minus my sprinkler breaking last fall. The seed grew beautifully!! Thick, full and green. It’s repair properties do work. This years heat and this being my first year doing it on my own it has held color with minimal effort. Cut at 4 inches and watered

Bought this for this seasons over-seed. Killed my old lawn 2 years ago and planted the GCI TTTF. It’s amazing. Super tolerant of everything and I am dominating my neighborhood with ease.

Cool blue tttf is by far one of the best grass seed I have used. I renovated my back yard last year and will now be renovating my 7.5k sq ft side yard later this summer. Spend the money on a good grass seed! It will pay off!

Started germinating on day five. Pictures is day 13 after planting. Fastest germination I’ve seen with TTTF, 75-85 degrees high. 50-60 degrees low. I’ve tried two others. Renovated my front lawn after killing off mostly Bermuda infested TTTF. I’m liking it so far. Time to reno my backyard to match the front. 25 pound bag is perfect for my needs.

Had about 1,100 sq. ft. Side yard that needed a reno. After killing the heavily weeded area I removed the dead vegetation and then used a dethatcher to finish the job and break up the top of the soil. Put down Cool Blue @ 10 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. with starter fert. and began watering. Had germination in about 10 days (temps. have been cool) and things are looking good. I’ve used GCI TTTF so I knew what to expect - did my back yard 2 years ago and used the same process. GCI seed is excellent...

Ran out of my liquid. Applied a granular for the first fall app. Was concerned about the slow release. But after about 3 1/2 days boom! Noticed improvement in the turf blade as well. Will be the go-to granular in my cool season program!!

I’ve used Cool Blue for the last 3 years. Just used it to overseed my small yard 16 days ago. It germinates quickly, but the best part is that deep green color!

The spray buddy is absolutely worth the money. It is an awesome spray rig and just makes spraying so much easier. I was able to spray 16,000 sqft in less than 25 minutes including filling up! Loving everything about it so far!

First time doing a lawn renovation. Followed the guide and trusted the process (had my doubts at times) and couldn't be more pleased with how it's turned out. Photos are before renovation, after seeding, and 2.5 weeks after seeding. There's a few things I would do differently next time but that's part of the learning experience.

Live in central California, I put down TTTF and I love it. By day 6 I had some germination already, and now on day 60 I have a full lushness lawn. Highly recommend

The shelf and reel are top notch, there were some scratches , spiderwebs and dead spiders on the equipment but it looks and works fantastic. How do I purchase the longer handle for my hose reel?

Complete lawn renovation with Turf Type Tall Fescue. Germinated in 3 days and a full gorgeous lawn in 5 weeks. My neighbors stop when they drive by to tell me how great it looks and how impressed they are with how fast it grew in and how incredibly green it is.

While it's CRAZY expensive, it germinates more quickly and fully than literally any other seed I've used (Jonathan Green, Scott's, Pennington, etc...). Beautiful dark green color. The bluegrass helps quickly fill in thin spots in the spring, helps heal the few dog spots in the lawn. Just in the last week I've had multiple compliments on my lawn.

Absolutely the best seed I’ve ever used! I wish I could collect a commission on every person who asks what seed I used. I did a complete front lawn makeover and had germination within five days. I can’t wait to do the back yard next fall!

As always, perfect seed. I renovated my backyard. Killed old grass and tilled and leveled. Used my Meso, starter Fert and my GCI Cool Blue. 10 days in I was mowing. Nice coverage and speedy germination.

A good friend of mine told me about this company and how that is all he uses. So knowing I was basically starting over from a beautiful yard to, well you see the before pics, thanks to a very invasive weed from the neighbors yard ( chamber bitter ) I decided to give them a try. The pics speak for themselves! This is 23 days after I seeded and look. Their youtube channel is awesome as well and Jeff in customer service might even get an invitation to Thanksgiving as we have spoken so much and h...

I only put my new GCI seed on one strip of the front yard to see how it would progress before I put it on my entire yard and it has already come in nicely . I am looking forward to spreading it on the whole yard this weekend as well as my neighbors yard. Sent a message to GCI and quickly got a response with with encouragement and answer to a question I had . Thank u Jeff and Pete keep doing what you are doing.

Customer photo review of Cal-Tide
Ty U.
As part of the summer program, I used the cal tide to help combat the stresses of summer, and I think it helped! With temps at or over a 100 for 2 months straight, the fescue survived and will only need to oversee a few areas!

This is was the hottest summer of my life with temps ranging from 98-103, with a few days topping 110! I assumed with that type of heat I would lose most if not all of my turf. followed Petes guide and It survived! This was also my first summer with a fescue yard, If it can make it through that, it can survive anything with the right plan!

I’ve been following the GCI crew for sometime now and enjoy watching their videos! I over seeded my front side yard a week ago and had germination within five days! I’m hoping to have time this fall to prep and over seed the rest of my lawn before that Minnesota snow hits! God bless everyone! Thanks

Great germination time, a week or so, comes in early in the spring, very dark green color, holds up to selective weed killers where I have seen oth major brands not, handles the deep summer of middle Tennessee better than anything else I have tried (always water through the droughts), and the price beats the competition. Hands down, recommend this to everyone who will listen.

Smoked off my parkway due to snowplow damage from last winter. Renovating with Blue Heat to see how it handles the heat next summer. If it makes it, I'll finish the rest of my yard next fall.

I used this spray In NH for Carpenter Bee’s, didn’t have a clue what they were until I saw a hole in the fascia board then ripped it off near the soffit , this Imidaclorprid is safe to use inside as well so I climbed up in my attic sprayed and then sprayed my perimeter of the house . Worked very well!

NJ is in a drought. I couldn’t get enough water on this lawn. Then my brother suggested Humic 12. The photo is a before and after. I took the photo less than 36 hours after application. Couldn’t believe it went to work that fast.

Blue Heat does survive summer in western Oklahoma. Even with seeding in the spring, completed my first fall overseeding of it. Even with cutting 4” of Bermuda/top soil. It still came back. So BlueMuda it is.

I still like my strom sprayer but this one I really like for a couple reasons. One it is much more comfortable than the strom plus you can really get your calibration dialed in with the 5 position switch but I would recommend not going past setting 3.

Hey Pete! Your grass seed has really helped me transform our lawn. After we bought the house three years ago, there was a lot of fixing needed. The GCI seed has been instrumental in rehabbing it. Thanks so much! - Dave

Really great guides. I know that using the guide while in the garage working and mixing stuff I would want a paper option for convenience. I had Office Depot print me a spiral bound fescue and Bermuda book and I love it. The guides are really clear, everything is laid out well, and easy to understand.

I did a renovation two falls ago with the cool blue grass seed. I then overseeded last fall with cool blue and this year i overseeded with the tall fescue because i can’t keep the blue grass rhizomes out of my flower beds. This picture is the first now after overseeding this year. The grass seed is excellent and i believe when it comes to grass seed you definitely get what you pay for. Keep up the good work Pete.

So far awesome! It did take longer to germinate than some of the reviews I saw. This however had nothing to do with the seed in my opinion. Rather the uncharacteristically colder mornings. The picture posted is day 9
