Real Stories. Real Results.
At Pearl’s Premium, we believe in the power of nature to create sustainable, lush lawns that require minimal maintenance. But don’t just take our word for it—read what our customers have to say about their experiences with Pearl’s Premium Ultra Low Maintenance Grass Seed!
"Everyone’s lawn looks like hell... except for mine!"
Richard, Braintree, MA
"I put down Pearl’s Premium late last fall. The germination rate was not quite to my satisfaction. This year, the snow completely covered my lawn—up to 4 feet deep in places for the entire winter season. In early March, the snow was gone.
In my community, everyone’s lawn looks like hell... except for mine! My lawn is a rich green, thank you. It weathered the rough winter much better than I expected."
"I've recommended Pearl's to all my clients with income properties."
Ed Lyon, Real Estate Agent, Newton, MA
"We fired our landscaper—we didn’t need him anymore. The roots are deep, so we didn’t need to water at all, and we barely mowed. During the drought in August, our lawn was a little less green, while our neighbors’ lawns were brown. And our lawn came up this spring before all of their lawns.
I've recommended Pearl's to all my clients with income properties."
"Building homes, saving time, water & money for his clients."
Bob Kiley, Green Home Developer, Groton, MA
"We shouldn’t be using potable water on lawns. And fertilizer should be used for growing crops, not grass. It’s the proper thing to do."
—Bob Kiley, owner of High Oaks Realty Trust, using Pearl’s Premium at new homes he builds with no need for sprinkler systems.
"As an animal lover, I wholeheartedly endorse Pearl's."
Mimi, Environmental Advocate, Littleton, MA
"As someone with more than 15 years of experience in the study of environmental toxicity, I’m deeply concerned about the adverse effects that typical lawn care products have on our environment, children, and pets. Studies have conclusively made the connection between lawn chemicals and cancers in humans and dogs, not to mention the impact they have on the environment at large.
It is an immense challenge to convince consumers of the importance of using less toxic products to achieve a beautiful lawn. Pearl’s Premium has developed the grass seed mix to do just that—it has the potential to mark a sea change in the environment.
As an animal lover and environmental advocate, I wholeheartedly endorse Pearl's Premium."
"Give this stuff a try and just relax."
Steve, Norwell, MA
"We cannot begin to say enough good things about this (Pearl's Premium Lawn Seed) product. I originally learned about Pearl's through a donation to the North South River Watershed Association (nsrwa.org).
We have struggled with the 'traditional' big-box store multi-stage solutions, spent tons of money on fertilizer, and put in lots of hard work that still left me wondering what I was doing wrong.
Then, we tried Pearl's. Now, it is true that this summer's cool and wet weather has been a lawn-grower's paradise, but when planted right next to some other green lawn fluff in a bag that I had been using to patch a bad area, there’s no comparison. The Pearl's simply took off and now looks tremendous.
The bag says to water it for a month (then never again), but that wasn’t even the case since Mother Nature has been so helpful this summer with plenty of rainwater to do the work.
If you are still hoping to have a pretty green lawn this summer and think you must be doing something wrong, spend a few extra bucks once, give this stuff a try, and just relax. Stop buying chemicals and pouring all your expensive drinking water on the ground.
I also strongly recommend the 'longer (cut taller) is better' approach to lawn maintenance. Not only does the grass look great and need no watering, but less time spent on a mower cutting it and more time spent in your bare feet playing on it is what it's all about, right?"
"I am SO tickled with our Pearl's Premium lawn..."
Marge, Marblehead, MA
"I am SO tickled with our Pearl's Premium lawn, particularly the strip between the sidewalk and the street. That strip has never looked so good, and so far—NO DANDELIONS! Our lawn looks BEE-U-TEE-FUL!"
"I feel like I'm in Ireland!"
Landscaper & Cancer Survivor, Boston, MA
"I am a landscape designer who has worked in the Boston area for 26 years. In that time, I have been in constant contact with lawns that use pesticides. I have had cancer twice in the last 21 years. During this time, I have never used chemicals on my own lawn.
This spring, I installed Pearl’s Premium in my yard. The seed has come in thick and lush—even under my two ancient sugar maples, where nothing has ever grown.
Friends and clients are just floored with the results! As expected, in parts of the lawn that had previously been totally weeds, some crabgrass and clover have popped up. But it’s hardly noticeable in the overall effect of the lawn.
I feel like I'm in Ireland. The grass is a deep, emerald green. I have yet to mow it—eight weeks later! It really is slow growing! And most importantly, I can make a sound and ecologically responsible referral to my clients who want a lawn."
"I was ready to put down artificial grass."
Wayne, Greenville, MI
"The first time Gloria and I learned about Pearl’s Premium was in Farm Show magazine. While we liked what we read, we were a bit skeptical—and for good reason.
We had a couple of challenges with our lawn. The front lawn was spotty, and we had a shaded area that had never been able to grow grass because it got no sun, period.
We tried all kinds of seeds in that shaded area—everything we could find from mail-order catalogs, our local garden center, and even sod. Nothing would grow. The seeds never came up, the expensive sod died within three months, and the zoysia plugs didn’t last long either.
When our new water well was installed in the front yard, the area was left bare. We decided to replant with Pearl’s Premium and also try the shady mix in the shaded area.
The Pearl’s Premium installed easily; I used the same process I used for everything else I had tried. I raked the area to create a seed bed and put down some pellet lime. I followed the Pearl’s Premium instructions and watered the seed each day for the first three weeks and every other day for the last week—unless it rained, of course.
In about a month, the Pearl’s Premium had come up and looked great. It’s so green! And thick! The shade grass is even greener than the other lawn that gets sun! And that’s an area where we’ve never been able to grow grass before.
Before Pearl’s Premium, I was ready to put down artificial grass or some sort of rug—we just couldn’t grow grass in that shady area. But Gloria wouldn’t have it. She wanted real grass or nothing."
