I purchased this product and mini feeder o March 06 and applied to front and back yard on March 07 as directed. It says guaranteed green grass in 3 days. It is now March 11, 4 days after application and yard has rarely any green 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.

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.

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
Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always works great on weeds and greening up the lawn . Quick and easy to use , fast effective and love the product . Easy to spread and seems to dissolve quickly into the lawn. Last a long time to protect against weeds

It burns the grass!

I apply this fertilizer to my new lawn. Now the lawn is damaged with brown spots. So disappointed!
Response from ScottsBy Agent, Consumer Services , November 8, 2020
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

Really makes a differance
on March 28, 2021

from Allentown, PA, USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I experimented this winter after a large snowstorm. On a warm day, I spread some of the product on top of the two feet of snow. Now that spring is here I noticed that the area that I spread the Green Max on was much greener than the rest of the lawn.

Works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy and impressed with this Scotts® Green Max™ Lawn Food. It truly works great. We had areas in our yard that needed some extra love, and this worked just perfectly for that. Within a week my grass was healthier, greener and stronger than ever. I would indeed recommend.
