Works!

I don't know how anybody could give this product any less than the 5 star in which it deserves!
It absolutely works as advertised. The only reason I would see anybody giving it any lower a rating would be because of it staining their concrete...and if a person read everything thoroughly, they'd only have themself to blame because the bag specifically says to blow or sweep off any excess on sidewalks, driveways, etc. that are made of concrete because the iron in it will stain.
I've used this stuff several times a year for years and it is HANDS DOWN the best there is for greening up my St Augustine and making it grow at a fast pace! (PERIOD/DOT) :)

Green Max was amazing. It worked exactly like it states on the package, 3 days and my lawn looked great. I will definitely use this again. Now I just have to figure out what to do next:)

My neighbor and I are in a bit competitive with our lawns; we water and cut the grass equally. During the extreme heat our lawns showed the distress. I applied Green Max and within days my lawn greened up while his stayed brown.
Pros: Easy to Use

Stains concrete big time!

I've never had any Scotts product stain my concrete like this one has. The stains are extremely noticeable and can't be removed with just water and a scrub brush.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear about the stains to your concrete. This product does contain iron and should be immediately brushed off hard surfaces after the application. Please contact us for information about stain removal and for assistance with our product guarantee. http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Best fretilizer ever

I recently purchased a bag of Green Max fertiliaer and have been delighted with the results. In only a couple of days my grass was a vibrant green and really lush. This is the first fertilizer I have found that can do this in the heat of Texas summers. We have the best looking grass in the neighborhood.
THANKS SCOTTS!!
Pros: Quality, Easy to Use, Effective, quick green
Cons: a little pricey

GREAT FOR GREENER GRASS
on August 14, 2014
Posted by: ShawnRho
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! If you do not follow directions, your driveway and or other concrete will get rust colored spots. Take care and use a leaf blower on low setting to blow any product off the concrete and into the grass or you will have staining. Otherwise this product did as advertised and my grass is back to being lush and green!
Pros: Value, Good Directions, Effective
Cons: Messy

i have held off from rating this product for a while to give it a chance before jumping to conclusions. I used this product on another section of my lawn that was separate from the main section. same sunlight same waterings, same everything. did not quite get as good of results that i got with the regular turf builder. will try again in a different section. i use scotts products exclusively but i am not totally satisfied with this product. not quite the results i was looking for. Used a knockoff store brand of lawn food next to this area of the lawn and it was night and day. this did not green as expected.
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Directions
Cons: Didn't work as expected, will give it a try again
I would recommend this to a friend!
