This product stained my pool and decking

We spread this on our lawn and swept down all decking and sidewalks as best we could. As soon as we turned our sprinklers on it stained our sidewalks pool and pool decking. Ive spent all day with vitamin C tablets ground up scrubbing the decks. I have to also order stain remover for pools to treat the inside of my pool. It may make the lawn green but wasted my Sunday trying to treat the iron stains.

This stained my driveway badly.

I do not recommend this product. The potion of the product that landed on my driveway, stained it permanently. I had to pay a professional cleaner to come out to my house because no matter what I tried I couldn't get it out. Unfortunately, the professional cleaner was also unsuccessful, so now I have a stained driveway and brick pavers. I will never buy this product again. Stick with the turf builder in the summer and the bonus S when temperatures are cooler.

We are sorry to hear about the staining that occurred after using Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. The iron in Green Max Lawn Food may stain as indicated on the back of the label. 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. While not endorsed or guaranteed by Scotts, the following products have shown to be effective at removing iron stains from regular concrete and are registered for this use: Signature Concrete Rust Remover Goof Off Rust Stain Remover Outdoors Super Iron Out Outdoor We suggest you refer to the product label before applying any product to an iron-stained surface. Before using any commercial cleaning products to remove stains, test a small area to make sure the cleaner itself does not cause damage. Most stain removal products work best with two applications. 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.

Buy Green Max!

A picture is worth a thousand words! You are looking across my yard to my neighbors. Yes, I water and feed my yard. My immediate neighbor does not water nor feed his yard. The next neighbor down runs a yard service and does water and feed his yard, but I don't think he uses Scotts products. You make the assessment... I think you'll agree with me that Scotts Green Max is worth the price! Note: This year I used Green Max in late June and late August.

Great for grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this lawn food for my dying brown grass. It ha brought it back to life. It is growing in thick and green. This stuff works fast and is amazing. Can't wait to have a pretty lawn for once. This is well worth the money

easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this to Zoysia grass to see if it would make it green up sooner than usual, but I don't really see that it is working yet. I used it about 4 days ago. It did rain a few hours after I applied it, so that might have had something to do with it.

Potential to cause fungus

My beautiful lawn developed a fungus after using this product even though I used it exactly as directed. After researching lawn fungus, I found that fertilizers containing high nitrogen levels like this product can make grass weak and become susceptible to fungus.

Works well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As usual Scott's brand does not disappoint! I purchased this a month ago and was eager to try it on my lawn. My husband and I are very satisfied with the results. It comes back thicker and looks healthier.

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....

New home fresh new grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just moved into a new home with several acres of yard in sprinkled thus around in the yard and although it is early in the fever in our yard has already started to grow fresh new baby grass and we couldn't be more thrilled. The outcome Of just walking around sprinkling this throughout the yard is that our new house also looks like it has a fresh new lawn and we love it
