Didn't Work in Winter

I've used this in other seasons and it worked fine but it didn't work in winter. The product says anytime. It's been seven days and my yard has not turned green. I wasted $81.00. Product says guaranteed. I will be investigating that now with the company.

Impossible Rust Stains

I read the Scott Green Max directions prior to use and was careful to sweep the concrete after application. Unfortunately, I missed a few spots during the cleanup and I have unsightly rust stains on my concrete. Now it's down to Home Depot to try and find something to remove the ugliness. The product is effective in greening the lawn but it's too easy to damage your concrete. I'm sorry... I just can't recommend this product and would NEVER buy this again. Ugh...!!

I am sorry to hear about the damage to concrete or pavers that occurred while using Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron. The iron in Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer plus 5.17% Iron may stain. 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. Before using any commercial cleaning products to remove stains, test the product on a small area to see if the product will fade or damage the stained surface. Most stain removal products work best with two applications. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the area after applying a stain removal product. 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 at http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

scotts max does stain!

I have used Scotts products forever so all that I do is open the bag (s) and fill my spreader and off I go. I purchased the Scotts Max and spread it on my my as usual. Little did I know that the granules that got on my brand new paver sidewalk would leave orange stains that I can't removed. I am very annoyed with this product so anyone thinking of buying Scotts Max, think again. I do not recommend this product.

Mighty Mean and make it Green!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My father has the grass so I was able to help him out with this on. The grass was so lush and green after he used this. He was very impressed he also said he had to mow it more frequently which is down fall. I told him to suck it up and take care of it. Haha

This product has great features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product will provide you with a thicker, deep greening lawn in about three days. Scott's green max fertilizer lawn food also has an iron supplement that will enrich your soil. This product is also guaranteed not to stain your when you send as directed.

Green Machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this down on my lawn in early February before weed and feed. My lawn went from dormant and dreary to bright green in days. Love this product and the whole line of Scott's fertilizers. I will purchase this product multiple times per year for sure!

So excited to use this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very excited to try this! It's very important to me to have a nice lawn, and not always so easy to do when nearby neighbors don't embrace the same interest. This will be a great product to keep my grass healthy, looking great, and staying beautiful!

Love this lawn food.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this fertilizer because it's a two in one formula with no filler ingredients that feeds my lawn and also deepens it's green color quick due to the iron it has in it. I also love that it doesn't stain my driveway or sidewalks. I would recommend this product to anyone. It makes your lawn grass beautiful.

Driveway and sidewalks are all permanently stained- Beware!

I received this product in the spring at my local Lowes during a promo in which you got it for free if you purchased Weed and Feed for Southern Lawns. I dont usually use it, but have enjoyed other Scotts products so I gave it a shot. Like many other reviewers, almost immediately after spreading this on my southern lawn the overspread stained my driveway, and perimeter home walkways, which are all concrete. I have tried high pressure washing, concrete cleaners, bleaches and rust removers all to no avail. I am also starting to get the heat from our community HOA and ACC over how unsightly it is, which could lean to fines. This experience will make me question purchasing Scotts lawn care products ever again, which is a shame because I have enjoyed the brand for years. If you choose to use it, do so on a very dry day and immediately clear it off of surfaces using a high speed blower, not water.
