Great color!

This product works great and it works fast. Just days after applying my lawn is the greenest in the neighborhood. All my neighbors are knocking at my door asking how I got such a great color to my lawn. It really makes the green pop! Just be careful not to get it on the sidewalk.

Very disappointed long term Scott's user

For many years I've only used Scott's products on my lawn and garden, but I'm unlikely to purchase Scott's again as a result of a recent experience with Greenmax lawn food. My driveway and sidewalks are only 1.5 years old and they now have orange dots and streaks all over them as a result of using this product. Following the application I began sweeping the product residue as I normally do, but it unfortunately started lightly raining prior to the work being completed. Upon realizing the damage, I reviewed some of the comment/responses from others who'd had a similiar experience and as a result ordered a large container of the "Goof Off Outdoor Rust and Stain Remover" recommended by Scott's. Unfortunately after two applications I could barely see a difference in the damage. Replacing the damaged areas will cost me in excess of $4000.00...a huge price to pay for using a product I was hoping would only result in a healthier lawn. Scott's team - Please advise if you've identified a better solution to correct this problem and PLEASE pull this product from the shelves of you haven't already.

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.

Wonderful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotts Green Max Lawn Food deep greening in 3-days. So far looks like the product is doing as says on package. I like that it's formulated to help nourish your grass, not to stain concrete and helps turn grass darker. I like how they provide “Tips” on how to properly care for your lawn along with instructions on how much you will need to cover your lawns needs. Yes make my life a little easier by purchasing the Scott's Green Max Lawn food with Iron and have a beautiful yard!

Best green grass!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our grass is so green it's insane! We used this product for the first time about 3 weeks ago and we are already seeing our new grass! It was very easy to spread and cover our back and don't yard! I'm super excited to see how the grass continue to come in and get full!

Definately greens up a yellowing lawn

Significant improvement in lawn color in one week. No product clumping was observed when the bag was first opened. Appears to absorb moisture from humid air and a few agglomerates were found about one week after opening. I thought that I could use a leaf blower to remove spillage from hard surfaces, but iron staining did occur. Next time I will wash it off with water.

Amazing product!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually applied this while ground was cold. Now that it's warmer, I can see a difference in the section of my lawn I applied it to and the section I didn't. I'm going to buy 2 more bags this week!!!

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.

Review of Product Application...Not Results

Similar to others, I encountered a fertilizer consistency that I never experienced before...I poured it in my spreader, set my opening per instructions, and starting pushing...only nothing was coming out. Upon further inspection, I found that the product had the consistency of wet sand, and even after I opened the spreader opening all the way, nothing was coming out. I have never seen such a gummy substance. I figured that somehow moisture had gotten in the bag (which was unopened), so I left it sitting in the spreader in the sun for several hours hoping that it would dry out. Nope, no change in the consistency. I finally got a small hand spreader and broadcast small amounts while shaking vigorously. I am afraid that the distribution will be spotty, but it has not been long enough to see any results.

reply from Consumer Service

We are sorry that you experienced problems while using Scotts Green Max Southern Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron. While Scotts makes every effort to package products in such a way that they will not absorb water, occasionally, some water will get in. We recommend that you do not attempt to apply a wet product. Instead, contact us for disposal directions. 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. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n
