Definitely helpful

Definitely helped green up my lawn, just be really careful to avoid getting this product on your sidewalk or driveway. It will stain.

Quick greenup of grass with little water required

Green is easy to apply. While it is more expensive, the quick greenup and the slow release make this a really good value.

Scotts Green Max Lawn Food

Grass was green, but my NEW driveway and walkway are now stained. It looks like a bucket of rust was tossed about. I'm very upset.

We are sorry to hear about the staining that occurred after using Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. The iron in Green Max Lawn Food may stain as indicated on the back of the label. 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. While not endorsed or guaranteed by Scotts, the following products have shown to be effective at removing iron stains from regular concrete and are registered for this use: -Singerman Laboratories Concrete Rust Remover (only available on-line at The Rust Store) -Goof Off Rust Stain Remover Outdoors -Super Iron Out Outdoor We suggest you refer to the product label before applying any product to an iron-stained surface. Before using any commercial cleaning products to remove stains, test a small area to make sure the cleaner itself does not cause damage. Most stain removal products work best with two applications. 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.

Not good at all

I would not recommend this product ,I put it on and it's no greener. I have used turf builder products before and loved them. The money that I spent, I wish I could take the product back.

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Green Max Lawn Food and appreciate your feedback. To get the most out of any fertilizer, we recommend that you maintain your lawn with adequate water and regular feedings. When mowing, remove no more than 1/3 of the grass blade at a time. 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 reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

no change whatsoever

I purchased this product for my st augustine lawn 10000 sq ft in Tampa, FL. It rained immediately after I applied the product. There was no change in my lawn color or look after 7 days of product application. I'm disappointed
