Grass is lush and green. This works as promised

Max Green works as promised, and the lawn is greener than ever. For those giving this low ratings because it stained your concrete, you need to read instructions. The instructions of use CLEARLY state to sweep off any of the Max Green from concrete before watering. HIGH SCHOOL CHEMISTRY REMINDER: Iron rusts when meeting H20. Therefore, iron leaves stains when it's on concrete and water is applied.

Outstanding Results

Used this product a week ago and my lawn is as thick and green as I have ever seen it. I am a lawn freak when it comes to keeping the lawn weed free and green all summer and I have gotten multiple comments from the neighbors asking what I changed to get such a rich green lawn the last week. I smile and tell them it's my secret home recipe for lawns. Then I told them about this new product.

Amazing product

First I want to state, I do not work for Scotts or it's affliates. I've used Scotts lawn care products over the years and was curious to try the Scotts Green Max Lawn fertilizer. After reading the positive reviews, I pulled the trigger and purchased this product. I followed the directions to the letter and watered religiously twice a day. Only after 7 days of applying the Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer, my lawn is already dark green as promised, no exaggerating! I have used Ironite in the past, but never had the results this product produces in a short period of time. I plan to use Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer again on the next lawn feeding. My neighbors are jealous of how healthy and green my lawn has become.

Max Green Fertilizer

I applied the product, watered it in, had rain during the week along with the water applied by my sprinkler system, I saw nothing that would make me buy this product again. it was no better than any other lawn fertilizer, and it cost more. The deep, quick greening just didn't happen.

reply from Scotts Consumer Service

We are sorry that you did not receive the fertilizer response that you expected from Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. To get the most out of any fertilizer, we recommend that you maintain your lawn with adequate water and regular feedings. When mowing, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. If repeated applications of fertilizer fail to green the lawn, we recommend that you purchase a soil test kit to check the soil pH. Soil pH should be between 5.5 - 7.5 for lawns. If it is outside this range, add lime (to raise pH) or soil sulfur (to lower pH) at least once a year in spring or fall. A pH imbalance will prevent the lawn from absorbing fertilizer, even if you apply heavily. Also, keep in mind the physical condition of the soil in your yard. Compacted soil, or soil that is very sandy or is mostly clay will not provide an ideal growing condition for turf. Consider core aeration in combination with topdressing. Aeration is the process of poking small holes into the soil using rental power equipment. Topdressing involves applying a thin layer (no more than 1/4 inch thick) of compost or topsoil to the entire surface of the lawn. Scotts Lawn Soil applied in this fashion may greatly improve the turf's response to fertilizer. 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 product stains Horribly!

I purchased Green Max for the first time and read all of the instructions very carefully. I did sweep the pellets off of my concrete as directed, but REALLY regret not making 100% absolutely sure that EVERY pellet, thrown from my "whirly" type spreader was removed from any concrete or block work. Each missed pellet leaves a dark "rust" colored stain when it dissolves which DOES NOT wash off even with a power washer. My concrete looks horrible! The product warning needs to be much more specific as to the perils of missing ANY of the pellets and that the stains are permanent!

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Scotts Green Max. Your comments have been reported to our Marketing Team for review. Unfortunately, when the granules are not removed from hard surfaces staining may occur. Check with your local hardware store for cleaning products that will remove iron and that are safe for your concrete surface. Make sure to research the product and test the application before using.

Great product for your lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This really brings out the green in your lawn after using it. It helps your lawn grow if you have bare spots and it helps it look much better after it grows. This is a must have for any lawn care lover that is looking to spruce up their lawn and make it look healthier.
