All I can say is that you will have very green grass in a very short period of time. This product works. BUT, I will tell you that if your grass is not that green, there may be other deficiencies. Id recommend that you do a soil test to see exactly what you need for your soil. Use this product with other scotts or other brands to increase the strength and color of your grass.

So far I think this works great on my yard. My yard has always been neglected all these years and recently this year I wanted to have a nice green yard. My yard is a mix of bermuda and St Agustine grass. The bermuda seems to have been taking off this year with the good rain we had in Spring. But the bermuda has always been a light color green. Same goes for my St Augustine under the tree area. Grass always looks like a pale color green even with a lot of watering.Followed the instructions on the bag (not even sure if I had my cheap spreader on the correct setting) and applied it to my yard early in the morning. I did a good water in and the next day I could say my grass was looking much greener! Some of the light color patches actually looked green... Maybe it was my eyes playing tricks or placebo effect, grass sure looks much better. Now 4 days in and I have to say my yard has the greenest grass on the block! While it's not a deep rich green that I was hoping for, but I'm sure it's just the grass type that I have. Also the bermuda seems to have taken off with the runners spreading and covering the bare spot patches in my yard since I applied the Scott's Green MaxSo far I'm very impressed and satisfied with the results. My lawn was never really taken care of and I've never used any fertilizer/products till now. Never done a soil test. I'm sure my lawn was missing a lot of nutrients needed for a good lawn. Thought I give this a try and boy am I happy with the results without having to spend so much.

I was really nervous buying this because of all the review photos of scorched and ruined lawns. I gambled, used a broadcast Scotts spreader set on 3, and gave a very light coverage. Worked great. Repeated in 4 weeks, also very light coverage. Dinging it a star, because it is a very fine line between working well and trashing your lawn. USE SPARINGLY!!!

I’ve used Scotts Green Max Lawn Food for a full season, and while it has some great benefits, there are a few drawbacks worth noting. Here’s my honest review:Key Facts & Features:✅ Fast-Acting Formula – The product promises visible greening in just 3 days, and I did see improvement within that time frame. The added iron supplement helps boost color, making the grass look healthier.✅ Covers 5,000 sq. ft. – One bag is sufficient for small to mid-sized lawns, making it a good value if you don’t have a large yard.✅ Dual-Purpose Formula – Not only does it feed the grass, but the added iron also helps strengthen roots, leading to more durable turf over time.Drawbacks & Considerations:âš ï¸ Risk of Lawn Burn – The formula is high in iron, which can stain concrete and hardscapes if not carefully applied. Some users (myself included) also noticed patchy burn spots when applied unevenly or during hot weather.âš ï¸ Short-Term Results – While the quick greening effect is impressive, the long-term nourishment could be better. After a few weeks, my lawn started losing its deep green color, requiring reapplication.âš ï¸ Strong Odor – The fertilizer has a noticeable smell that lingers for a day or two after application, which might be unpleasant for some users.Final Verdict:Scotts Green Max Lawn Food is a solid choice if you need a quick green-up for your lawn, but it requires careful application to avoid burn spots and staining. For long-term results, additional treatments may be necessary. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
