Good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works as advertised. Quickly greens the lawn and lasts for a while. I will continue to use this product. Keeps lawn looking nice. I may also add it goes down easily and does not harm the grass.

Disappointed With Scotts Green Max Lawn Food

Applied this product 2 weeks ago. Followed directions according to bag. Did not see any improvements after 3-4 days and still no improvements after 2 weeks. My lawn yard is in good shape, but I was hoping my lawn would turn greener after using this product. My yard looks the same as it did before applying this product. I have been using Scotts products for many years, but have been disappointed with this product.

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Green Max and appreciate your feedback. 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. If the lawn isn't receiving at least 1 inch of water per week then the lawn will not green up as fast. When mowing do not remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. Is thatch over 1/2" thick? This would prevent the nutrients from getting to the plant roots. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Green Lawn Quickly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Applied this product on our Bermuda grass and boy did it take off. Just followed the directions and my lawn loved it. I would definitely recommend this product. Each day the lawn has become greener and is getting thicker.

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.
