[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weather has not been great but was able to get out and spreader this material.Came out very fine with much coverage of the area I was working on.Like size of bag for smaller job areas.Material did go further then I thought it would.

GreenMax

I love using the GreenMax every other month on my Floratam grass. It usually takes about 4 days before I start to see the new green growth of my lawn. Other months I use Bonus S and in the summer I use Turf Builder with Summer control. I suggest you give it a try.

Threw bag out : impossible to use

I bought this product in the past and loved the results. This time though the product would not go through my Scott's spreader. The best I can guess perhaps the humidity or water got to it? I tried last weekend to spread it and finally gave up. I poured the product into another bag and left open thinking maybe that would help. Today same result. Maybe it was water damaged? If so the packaging should prevent. Even when I continually stuck my hand in the spreader to get it unstuck, maybe 5 feet it would stick again and nothing coming out. Decided not to lose any more hair and threw it in the garage. Frustrated.

Does not work as expected

I wanted to put some fertilizer down to "green" up my lawn as this is the first summer that it has look not just good but great compared to the previous summers! It didn't really green anything up as now I have dead patches of grass. It did a great job of staining stones, pavers and part of my patio and yes I did read the directions and swept the patio and pavers however its kind of hard to sweep small granular Max green fertilizer out from small white stones. I have used other Scott's lawn products in the past and followed all directions to avoid staining without issue however I will never use this again!

We are sorry to hear about the staining to your stone that occurred after using Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. The iron in Green Max Lawn Food will stain concrete, pavers and other hard surfaces 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. 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. We may also have some cleaning tips to assist you in cleaning the stained areas. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Performed beautifully

Used this product for the first time on a bear patch of grass which had not thrived. This product did a beautiful job of restoration and now the grass is 3 inches thick and a deep green. Couldn't be more satisfied and happy with the product. Highly recommend.

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.

Really Greens in 3 Days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one works as advertised! After a tough winter as we have experienced this year, it seems to take longer for my grass to green-up. After using Green Max it really was only 3 days before I could see a difference. Great product if your yard is looking "tired".

Green MAX is best for Alkaline Soils

Tucson, Arizona is famous for alkaline soils that inhibit iron absorption resulting in yellowy, chlorotic looking grass & plants. I've tried enormous amounts of supplemental iron and nitrogen products, but my lawn continued to decline. The 1st application of Green Max resulted in immediate improvement. Subsequent applications produced results beyond expectations. Great formulation that promotes iron absorption!!

Works well and long lasting

I didn't have to be too careful since I don't have any concrete adjacent to my lawn but someone I know didn't, and got scattered particles on the concrete leaving faint orange colored rust stains. He was warned. My lawn went dark green in a week and really dark in two weeks. It was almost embarrassing. I had the darkest green lawn on the block. It lasts a long time, too even if you use other products between applications. Definitely worth the money. The grass thickened and now I skip using weed killer.

Terrible product. If you want to have your concrete turn orange, then use this product.

Never have I been so disappointed in a product made by Scott's as I am with Scott's Green Max. We live in a lovely golf course community where we all keep our yards in exceptional condition. Our new concrete now has orange streaks down the entire length of the driveway and sidewalk. This sure does set us apart from the other homeowners. I feel there should have been a warning on both the front and back of the package in larger print. As a loyal customer, what can you do for us now?
