Amazing

Green Max was amazing. It worked exactly like it states on the package, 3 days and my lawn looked great. I will definitely use this again. Now I just have to figure out what to do next:)

The greenest grass imaginable

My yard was a show stopper last year. It was the envy of the neighborhood. I got so many compliments about how green my grass was. I just applied Max again this year and I know what results I will get again. So beautiful!

Overall, a good product to use

I was happy with this fertilizer but it did not make my grass turn as green as I had hoped or read from the other reviews. Still, not a bad product to use.

did green up but I question the price

This product did a good job of greening up the yard. Did not see much of a difference compared to other products I've used in the past. Unless the price goes down I will go in a different direction in the future.

Disappointed

I applied this product about 9 days ago and still no change in my lawn. I got the the max one for fast results. And still no green grass. Don't get me wrong there are other Scott's products that I do recommend but just disappointed with this one.

reply from Scotts Consumer Service

We apologize for the lack of response from Scotts® Green MAX™ Lawn Food. Usually when grass is under stress from dormancy it can produce an issue with the fertilizer producing food to your yard. We suggest reapplication of plant food after the 4 week residual of the product has run up. This is usually 4 weeks after the initial feeding of your yard. Water the grass in absence of sufficient rainfall. Lawns need around 1 to 1 1/2" of water per week or 1/2" every few days. If you have any questions or would like further assistance, please contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this experience has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Product didn't work as advertised

I applied this product in early Spring and it was not affective against preventing Crabgrass as of today I have Crabgrass all over my front and backyards.

Brand new concrete is stained because of this product

I can not believe you put this product out there without a huge warning on the front of the bag stating it will stain your concrete. Very disappointed and I will expect a representative from Scott's to contact me regarding my stained concrete.

Nothing gets my yard greener, but be sure to remove excess from cement

Product works well, but be sure to use a blower after use to remove excess fertilizer pellets from your walkways and/or driveways. Pellets, once wet, will stain cement due to the iron in the fertilizer.
