Greener than green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used Scott's Max on my lawn and really enhanced the color of my lawn! My lawn was dull in color and I was skeptical but after applying and following directions I was pleasantly surprised to see the difference that it made.

Easy to use and works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so east to use and it works great. No mixing of chemicals required. No mess. It makes the lawn look like I had professionals come in every week. I may be making some neighbors envious of my lawn who have theirs done by professionals.

Don't care how green your lawn is when it ruins your concrete

This product is terrible. Even when you think you have removed all the product off your sidewalk the run off stains your sidewalk and concrete. I have used Trugreen for years and tried this product once and I will never use it again. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IT WILL RUIN YOUR CONCRETE EVEN IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does not green the grass like it says

I used it on my yard last sunday and it was watered in good and I applies it like the instructions. My yard looks no different than my neighbors who do nothing and their yard is light green. Also now I have the seed heads popping up everywhere and it looks awful. I love scotts products but not this one!

I am sorry that you did not receive the fertilizer response that you expected from Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron. To get the most out of any fertilizer, we recommend that you maintain your lawn with adequate water and regular feedings. 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. 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

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in the mail a few weeks ago, but was just able to put out today. Can't wait to see how my yard does. Really hoping this helps. Its hard to get grass to grow here. I think this is a fantastic item.

Holy green lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product for the first time this early spring right before a week of rain. Holy cow is my lawn green, lush and growing. A needed product to give your lawn a boost to stay healthy, I plan on getting more through our the season.

Fantastic Lawn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I start to apply this to my lawn right before spring and always end up with a more beautiful green yard. It helps keep my yard one uniform green color. We have dogs and end up with grass that doesn't look very nice unless we fertilizer, hands down this leaves my lawn looking the best. Very impressed with our experience and the compliments we get. I do use a spreader for a more uniform coverage also.

We think this is really working!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we are liking what this is doing for the grass! It seems that it is more lush than it was (and the rain is helping too. . . . It seems that everything we use that's Scotts is absolutely the best! We used to try other brands but have always decided that Scotts is our favorite - this REALLY does work beautifully!

Staining Can Be Avoided

I also encountered staining the first time I used this product last year. A container of Super Iron Out cleaned up the rust stains (mix solution; spray to saturate; agitate with brush; power wash off residue). The product label suggests sweeping away the granules which will not work. I used my leaf blower on low setting to move the granules into the lawn AND followed up with a spray from my garden hose to catch any loose granules, again spraying in a sweeping motion to move the granules into the lawn. I then hand-watered the entire lawn with a light spray. Perfect! No staining this time and the lawn looks fabulously green. Don't be dissuaded by the negative reviews about using this product. The label clearly and distinctly (red letters on a yellow background) states the staining issue. Pay attention, put a little effort into the process, and make yourself proud (and your neighbors jealous) of your lawn.

Works fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so pleased with Scotts lawn food because it truned my brown looking grass into a gorgeous green color. The directions are very easy to follow and it didnt take long to apply. I'd say it took several days before it started to become green.
