Took a little longer than three (3) days to really turn deep green

The 10X max product worked very well. My lawn is deep green and even deep green throughout. I applied 10X to a dry lawn. I swept the outline area well and avoided all staining. This product is for project lovers, so if you don't want to really sweep well and follow directions this is not for you. The deep green took six days to just over a week to fully set in.

Used it twice and it worked

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this twice so far this season after my yard was pretty much destroyed by some sewer work that was done very early this year. It greened up the areas I used it on. I will be using it on the rest of the yard once the grass starts to come back in

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts® Green Max™ Lawn Food bag features the words, "Deep greening in 3 days" on the front, so that's a lofty promise to hold up. I received this product in the winter so I haven't had a chance to use it, but Scott's is a brand I trust from other products. I would pick them over any others when I'm trying to spruce up my lawn. I like that the granules are 100-percent nutrition - so there's no filler - just food.

This product can be used anytime

Just recently I had some plumbing work done on my front lawn which left a vacant area during late summer. I wanted to restore my lawn to its original beauty so I purchased Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. With fall just around the corner I knew that Scotts Green Max could be used anytime during the summer or fall to help my lawn grow greener and thicker. Scotts Green Max helped to protect my lawn during summer and make it greener for the fall. Its so easy to use, just lightly water in.

Does Exactly What It Is Supposed To Do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been having problems with uneven colored grass due to improper watering. I applied the lawn food to the dried areas and in exactly 3 days my lawn was the same shade! It's very easy to apply the food with a manual spreader. It only took 15 minutes to cover the area. Now that my lawn is uniform I will do one more application on the whole lawn to make sure all areas are covered.

WARNING! Will ruin your driveway and sidewalks

I recently purchased my first home (brand new construction). What an exciting time. That was until I used Scott's Green Max. Although I swept the fertilizer from the side walks and driveway back into the grass, I STILL ended up with terrible staining on my beautiful brand new driveway and sidewalks. It baffles me that there's not a larger warning label about this. Furthermore, how is this product still on the shelf for sale? Scott's, you've honestly diminished the value and curb appeal of my brand new home. I feel sick to my stomach every time I see it. My next step is to try a professional cleaning service. I'm sure it won't be cheap. Please do not use this product. You'll likely regret it.

This is the stuff to use for greening

I have done my yards for over 20 yrs. This is 1 of only 3 fertilizers I can feel confident in recommending for a fast green yard. I said FAST. not permanent. You will need to use this at a minimum of 3 to 4 times a yr to keep a constant green, however;Scotts has better products for long term green. This is what I use every spring AFTER a second or third mowing and after I put a pre-emergence down in Feb. I can strongly recommend this process for the DFW area in Texas. The high nitrogen will also get your yard growing so if you don't need for it to grow a lot then again, a first spring application makes sense. The iron is nothing but cake coloring for the grass. Seriously, that's what makes this so green, it has more iron in it than Ironite. So if you want to have the greenest yard in the hood and be the first... this is the stuff that will make it happen. BTW,,,, want to impress guests coming over for a weekend or dinner.. you'll get lots of compliments if you put this down 3 to 5 days before.:)

Why hire a lawn maintenence company?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why hire someone to maintain your yard when the Scott's Green Max performs as well as it does. I promise you, this fertilizer works better than, or as good as, any product a lawn care company throws out. In fact, it would not surprise me, at all, if some of those companies use this. They just charge you for the time to spread it while you rave about how great the company did at making your yard so green and pretty. So, take control of your own yard's destiny without the up charge! Maybe hire yourself out the neighborhood in the process. Because your neighbors will ask what you used or who you pay to get your yard so green.

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.
