OMG It's such a deep green!

I spread this on my lawn about 5 days ago for the first time, it was supposed to rain but it didn't (of course), I limed too. We have lots of dew at night so i would assume it soaked some of it in. It turned such a wonderful deep shade of green. The brown spots have begun to rapidly fill in too. I love this stuff. it is also kid and pet friendly which is really important to me. I would rather feed my lawn so it fills in so there are no weeds vs. using a weed killer. It's better for the environment......

Wow!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Talk about greening your grass. My first time using this product and I will definitely use it again. My grass looks so much greener than the neighbors who actually want to know what I used to make it so green. Great product will use again.

Good food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This food is amazing. As soon as I put it down, I could see a spurt of growth in the lawn. I mean quite an expanse of grass and it affected it like a life preserver to a swimmer. It's now very lush and green.

instant green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I have used this lawn food. Easy to use - just put it down and wait. We had a lot of rain so I only waited a few days and couldn't believe how dark green my grass turned. We have the best lawn on the block.

Waste of Money

This did absolutely nothing! I followed the directions and application to a T. This product says Deep Green in 3 Days right on the bag... Well thats a lie. There is absolutely no difference in my grass. I applied it on a sunny day, the grass was wet the next morning from dew over night with temps between 68-75 and the following day had a few sprinkles. Not sure how much better weather you could get for fertilizer but that didn't seem to help at all.

reply from Consumer Service

We are sorry to hear of your experience with Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. Perform a soil pH test. You can contact us if you would like to continue discussing this or if you want to know about our product guarantee. You can reach us here http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Green Max not greening.

I switch from Lesco over to Scotts on recommendation from Home Depot person.he said that most of his customers prefer the Scotts brand because the results were much better. My concern was that it cost a little more than the brand I was using. He assured me that it would be worth it in the end. Well I bought a Scotts spreader and the Green Max and applied according to directions. To my surprise it did not get greener, even my neighbor commented on it, so I was not to happy then, I even waited two weeks with watering and still no deep green. I'm not giving up yet though I just purchased 2 bags of the winter formula at Home Depot because you get 20 percent of when you buy 2 or more bags. Wish I didn't have to waste my money on that Green Max, I should've ask for a refund but I lost the receipt, lol. So I'll stick with the program you guys have outlined for me on the Scotts iPhone app and see what results will come.

Really greened up the lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this product on a lawn I was restoring and the results were very impressive. The lawn greened -up and filled in very nicely and looks super. The bag was easy to open and the product spreads smoothly- no lumping like other fertilizers and spread evenly.

Greenest Lawn Around

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical at first that this product would work for my lawn. I'm now a true believer in Green MAX! The results are truly amazing. My yard is a deep green color after applying it a week ago with daily spring rains afterwards. There is a definite line on my property between my two neighbors yards and ours. Even the neighbors noticed it and inquired as to what we put down. I will purchase a couple more bags to do my back yard now that I know it works!

Emerald Green results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lawn food works wonderful, we have always had this semi sickly looking lawn. We applied this product and our lawn is dark green and lush, the results are great and we will continue to use this product. Look at the results they speak for themselves!
