GreenMax does a great job!

We have been trying to get our grass just right for a long time. We spent a few minutes with a Scotts manager at our local Home Depot and learned the sequence to follow with Halts, Bonus-S and GreenMax. Our lawn has never looked better.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective

Scotts "Green Max" is a Difference maker

My lawn was doing ok, but it looked liked it needed a little boost. So I put some Green Max on it and WOW, what a difference it made. Apparently my lawn needed a little iron and this did the trick. Three weeks later I was sending pictures to friends bragging about my lawn! Good stuff!
Pros: Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found this last year at the beginning of the season and it was a great find. Within a few days I saw i big change in color and in my opinion thickness of my grass. Easy to use, no worries of spreading to thin or thick and it's going to continue this year. Don't hesitate to try it, it's good for you and your lawn.
Pros: Value, Quality, Easy to Use, Good Directions, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've used this product along with the 4-step program between Step 3 and 4. Mid to late summer the grass is not as green as I like, but after this application within a couple days the grass is lush and green. Would definitely recommend.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

STAINS, STAINS,STAINS EVERYWHERE
on July 1, 2013

We have a new home with A concrete sidewalk and walkway and a sod lawn. We just moved into eight weeks ago. I used Scotts Turf Builder Starter six weeks ago and was pleased with the results. Thinking that the lawn could be greener I bought Scott's Green MAX and applied it per the directions with a Scott's Edge Guard spreader. I then swept the concrete drove and walks and then used my blower to be sure it was all off the concrete.
Next morning I had rust streaks everywhere. The label warnings are grossly understated and I NEVER WOULD HAVE USED THE PRODUCT HAD I REALIZED THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE IT CAN CAUSE. I now have to figure a way to remove the stains - waiting to let it fade is NOT an option! I WILL NEVER USE THIS AGAIN NO MATTER WHAT THE RESULTS ON THE GRASS ARE! My wife is in tears and I am furious!
Cons: Didn't work as expected, Messy, Difficult to use, Problem with label, horrible results
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from ScottsBy Christin, Consumer Service, July 2, 2013
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer. 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. Check with your local hardware store for cleaning products that will remove iron and that are safe for your concrete surfaces. Please contact us at the following link for more information and assistance with our product guarantee. http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

NICE AND GREEN

Very nice product with lots of iron. Be sure to quickly sweep/blow product off surfaces you don't want rust forming before water touches it. My yard is noticeably much greener even with way too much flooding rains after application.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Good Directions, Effective

Response from ScottsBy Scotts Consumer Services, August 28, 2014
We are sorry that you did not receive the fertilizer response that you expected from Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. 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.
