Nice Product

I used this product and I'm happy with it....Followed the directions and didn't have any problems what so ever with stains. I used a blower to blow off any remaining fertilizer on my driveway.I cant believe there are so many comments about staining when I had none....

Fantastic Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm impressed how fast this stuff works. Like the packaging states, 3 Days. That's the truth! Such a great product. Will purchase more! Can't beat the quality and value you get from this product. Very easy to use and apply!

Do not use this product near pavers cement or bluestone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product contains iron and will cause serious rust stains to your brick pavers, cement walkways and bluestone. The disclaimer on the bag is so small. I would never use it again. It has cost me hundreds of dollars to try to get the rust stains off and I still have them. NEVER use this product!!!

Hopeful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't yet been able to use this on my lawn due to the weather conditions. But I asked for the sample because my neighbor uses it, and if my grass responds like her's has, I will be ecstatic! This weekend looks like I will have the opportunity to use myself!

greenest lawn on the block

My yard usually looks ok. This spring I used Scotts Max Green with iron. Grass thickened and turned the darkest green it has ever been. Neighbors stop by and comment on it. Only complaint to Scotts is that it appears 10K bags of any of their product has been eliminated in favor of the 15k bags.

Do Not Use if you have concrete anywhere your lawn

Purchased this year in March instead of my usual Turf Builder. The bag was labled as kid friendly which i liked but what was needed was a warning as big that states that you cannot get any on the conctrete. On the back it states that you should sweep up excess, it should state that brooming may not be sufficient, I applied mine with a Scotts edgeguard brocast spreader and then swept up what thought was the rest. It rained over night and when I went out it looked like apainting of a meteor shower on my driveway. It also does not state that a pressure washer will not get it up, nor store bought concrete cleaner (CLR for driveways). I then went on the website and saw the recommendation for the Rust store product. Bought two tubs at $22 each and it removed the comet tails but there is still small dots so I have purchased 5 more. After all said and done I will have spent over $150 to repair the driveway and sidewalk. My recommendation stick to the regular turf builder if on the four bag cycle like I am.

We are sorry that you found the Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer label misleading. Scotts makes every effort to provide clear and accurate information on every product label. We are also sorry to hear about the staining of your concrete that occurred while using Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer. The iron in Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer may stain. The quicker a stain removal process is begun, the more effective the process will be. Sunlight and water will help to fade the iron stains from the product on outdoor surfaces, but will not completely remove them. Before using any commercial cleaning products to remove stains, test the product on a small area to see if the product will fade or damage the stained surface. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience please contact us to see what can be done.

This law food is amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your lawn is looking not so lush ,this product will change this in less than a week. Apply Green Max ,turn on the water and watch an amazing transformation in a few days. I have not found another product that worked so fast.

Results speak for themselves

Green Max works exactly as advertised. I have Tiffway 419 and this product gives my lawn a very rich dark green color everytime. I've used straight nitrogen in summer months but it can't compare to the color I get using Green Max. I've used Scott's products for years and never had it clump in spreader, make sure to sweep off concrete or it will stain.

Exceptional greening

I used this product for the first time late last summer and it worked unbelievably. Greened my lawn very quickly. This spring, I had my lawn aerated and then spread green max on it and it looks the best it ever has this early in the spring. I am totally convinced that this fertilizer does exactly what they say it will do.

Dual purpose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A spring fertilizer with lots of nitrogen and an iron supplement for greening. Granules are free-flowing and easy to disperse. Can't wait to try it on half my front lawn to compare to Scotts regular spring fertilizer
