Seems to be fine. Still a lot of brown spots on my lawn.

I did not get as much greening as I had hoped for and there has not been a real significant change to my lawn

My grass did green up (although not as much as expected). Honestly don’t know if it any better than regular turf builder or any alternate brand.

Hi, Mikey! 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, so you may want to perform a soil pH test. Be sure the correct amount of fertilizer applied for the size of the lawn is applied. If the lawn isn't receiving at least 1 inch of water per week then the lawn will not green up as fast. If the lawn goes dormant, it will not respond. Thatch over a 1/2" thick will prevent product from reaching the ground and reaching the roots.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

I really don’t see much of a difference versus before I put it down so I’m questioning the value and impact.

Not worth the money. Followed directions explicitly. No greening up in my front lawn. I’m using your 4 Step this year and after reading, added the Max to green up. Waste of my time and money.
