Super green!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product to green up some spots in my yard and it worked awesome! The next time I get it I will definitely be getting it for the entire yard. I also used in combination with some other Scott's products which I think helped the most. Definitely recommend to others!

Easy to apply

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this lawn food last Monday. The product didn't burn my grass but I wish the instructions on the bag was more specific as to which setting to put my spreader on. The grass is green enough but time will tell how it affects the growth.

Let there be green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lawn definitely greened up quicker than normal. I did my 5000 sq. ft. lawn in about 20 minutes. easy to apply - standard settings for both broadcast and drop spreaders. Remember to sweep any product off your sidewalk or driveway.

I was skeptical but I am glad I tried!!

From reading the previous reviews I thought the product wouldn't work. I was afraid my yard would burn and not turn green. I was soooo wrong! My yard is thick and has a beautiful dark green color. I am happy with the results. I will say you need to water your yard....

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

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.

Wrought Iron Fence Beware

I've been using this product for a year and have been impressed by the results. My grass is far greener than any house in my neighborhood. It really stands out. Sadly, there's a significant drawback to this product and that is the damage it causes to sidewalks and fencing. After reading other reviews with states the affect this product has in sidewalks, I made sure I swept any excess debri from concrete areas (I.e. sidewalk and driveway) due to browning and rusting of the areas it comes in contact with when water is present. However, what I unfortunately discovered on my own is that this product will cause your wrought iron fence or other products of this material to rust, crack, and deteriorate. So, unfortunately for me, my house has these fences around the perimeter. While my neighbors fences are holding up strongly, I wondered why my fences were starting to fall apart. And it's because of this product. So, beware of its DAMAGE TO WROUGHT IRON FENCING. As a result, I'm now faced with an extremely expensive repair. Otherwise, use this on your lawn.

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?

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although we had a heavy snow cover up til a couple of weeks ago it has melted and gotten warmer. I can finally see my lawn. I applied this fertilizer with iron with my handy Scott's spreader. It's too early to see results but application is real simple. The 5k sf bag is just right for my lawn. I am anxious to see how this iron works to green up the turf. I like and trust Scotts for a lush green lawn and my neighbors are jealous.

Amazing product

I have to say i have been through 3 lawn care services and tried numerous products to get my lawn looking green. I was skeptical but this stuff blew me away. In less than a week the grass was much darker green and looked so much healthier. This stuff is truly amazing and lives up to its promise and more. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make there lawn look better in a VERY short time. I will put this down as recommended every 6-8 weeks from now on. I have the best lawn in the neighborhood overnight.
