We're sorry that you have experienced problems with your lawn following an application of this product. Damage can occur if products are accidentally over applied or applied to drought and heat stressed turf. Also,be aware that issues such as lawn disease or insects feeding are often mistaken for product damage. You may want to take a sample of the damaged area to a reputable nursery to rule these out. We are sorry for the damage that occurred after using Green Max. The iron in the product will stain concrete, pavers and other hard surfaces 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. 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

We are very sorry for the issues that you encountered with Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. Temperatures exceeding 90 degrees or falling below 60 degrees will cause the lawn to go dormant. Fertilizer applications to a dormant lawn can cause severe damage. This is not what we expect from this product, and we would be interested in discussing this further so that we can learn more about this issue and extend our product guarantee. At your earliest convenience, please contact us and refer to your review to see what can be done. We can be reached at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5

We are sorry Scotts Green Max Lawn Food did not deliver the results you were hoping for. Please be aware that this product is not meant for germinating grass seed. Green Max is a straight fertilizer with large amounts of iron so your lawn can green up faster. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Used on front lawn. Used Scott's regular fertilizer on back & side yard. Front yard lots bad. The remaining areas look great. Will never buy again.

reply from Customer Care

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Green Max Lawn Food and appreciate your feedback. The most common reason a lawn does not respond to fertilizer is soil pH. Soil pH must be between 5.5-7.5 for fertilizer to be absorbed by the grass. You may wish to perform a soil pH test. If the lawn is dormant, it will not absorb the fertilizer or respond to it. The lawn should be receiving at least an inch of water a week. If the lawn has thatch over a 1/2" thick, the product cannot reach the roots. The lawn may also be under stress from disease, insects or drought. A continued or general yellow look may indicate a lack of iron, so an iron supplement may be necessary. 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.

Ok product

Followed the recommendations. Been about a week. I've seen a difference but not the dark green as stated.
