READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS FIRST

The product is as advertised however if you DO NOT blow or sweep away each granule your cement areas will be damage beyond repair. I will be trying a new method this weekend to remove all of the rust stains. I've tried power washing it to no avail so now I will have to buy a rust remover and hope that it doesnt leak into my lawn and cause my lush green grass to turn brown.
Not worth the trouble, next round I'll go organic.
Pros: Value, Easy to Use, Quality, Effective
Cons: Messy, severe staining to occur if used improperly, bad directions
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Green MAX is the best lawn fertilizer I have ever used. My Bermuda lawn went from being thin and gray/green to a full, lush carpet of dark green. I admit I was skeptical at first, but it works! It takes a small amount so the bag lasts me an entire season for a 3000 sq ft lawn. Absolutely amazing. My HOA awarded me "yard of the month" for July!!
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Whoa it made my green lawn even greener, I had a great experience with this product which I applied on two different occasions. Needed to water in well, but the added Iron and Minerals enhanced the Lawns ability to maintain moisture and Green color. I had a very good experience, My neighbors think my lawn looks like a well groomed carpet .
Pros: Value, Quality, Easy to Use, Good Directions, Effective

Do not use this product near pavers cement or bluestone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product contains iron and will cause serious rust stains to your brick pavers, cement walkways and bluestone. The disclaimer on the bag is so small. I would never use it again. It has cost me hundreds of dollars to try to get the rust stains off and I still have them. NEVER use this product!!!
Cons: Messy, Problem with label, stains brick cement and bluestone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only use this if you want the GREENEST lawn in your neighborhood.

This is good stuff, it really works as advertised, and greens up a lawn like nothing else. I use Scotts Turfbuilder with weed control in the Spring, as well as Scotts Winterguard in the late Fall. However, in between, if you want a lush, rich, GREEN lawn, imo, this is what to use all Summer long, for a great looking yard that can stand up to the heat. Just be sure to let your grass grow a bit longer, to shade itself, during the extreme heat of Summer. Again, this product works as advertised, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Why? Because it's what I use, and yes, my yard is the nicest in the neighborhood, people tell me so, all the time. Take care.

Amazing product

First I want to state, I do not work for Scotts or it's affliates. I've used Scotts lawn care products over the years and was curious to try the Scotts Green Max Lawn fertilizer. After reading the positive reviews, I pulled the trigger and purchased this product. I followed the directions to the letter and watered religiously twice a day. Only after 7 days of applying the Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer, my lawn is already dark green as promised, no exaggerating! I have used Ironite in the past, but never had the results this product produces in a short period of time. I plan to use Scotts Green Max Lawn Fertilizer again on the next lawn feeding. My neighbors are jealous of how healthy and green my lawn has become.
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Effective
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointed

I applied this product about 9 days ago and still no change in my lawn. I got the the max one for fast results. And still no green grass. Don't get me wrong there are other Scott's products that I do recommend but just disappointed with this one.
Pros: Easy to Use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from ScottsBy DeMario, Scotts Consumer Service, June 17, 2016
We apologize for the lack of response from Scotts® Green MAX™ Lawn Food. Usually when grass is under stress from dormancy it can produce an issue with the fertilizer producing food to your yard. We suggest reapplication of plant food after the 4 week residual of the product has run up. This is usually 4 weeks after the initial feeding of your yard. Water the grass in absence of sufficient rainfall. Lawns need around 1 to 1 1/2" of water per week or 1/2" every few days. If you have any questions or would like further assistance, please contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this experience has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.

Response from ScottsBy Scotts Consumer Services, August 27, 2014
We are sorry that you did not receive the results you expected from Scotts Green Max Lawn Food. If repeated applications of fertilizer fail to green the lawn, we recommend that you purchase a soil test kit to check the soil pH. 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 contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n
