I recently had my lawn torn up for sprinklers, as well as my lawn was old and had bald patches. To date, I have purchased this product twice (the first bag was not enough)and have been pleased with the results. The grass grows in quickly, it's full and strong grass. I purchased a bag at the store between uses of this product, while that grass grew at a fair rate as well, the grass that grew in was thin and not as lush as the quicklawn grass. Thus, a second purchase of quicklawn. My yard has a weird variety of types of soil, some areas are more sandy, others rather depleated, some doing well. The quicklawn seed does well in most areas of the yard, even with the different soil types. One area is significantly sandy and some grass will catch and grow but other areas remain bald. I do not attribute this to the quality of quicklawn though, some things can't be helped.
