This product works if you are patient!
We have had little to no rain this year since June. A section of my lawn got scorched due to the 90 degree temps. I had a bag of green max in the garage which I had previously purchased and decided to try it. I mowed the lawn area, wet it with a hose, applied the product with a Scotts drop spreader and watered it in with a sprinkler for 10 minutes. Now I look at green grass instead of brown grass. It takes longer than 3 days but it's worth the wait.

Product works as it says
This stuff works 100% of the time. The ones that have a 1 star rating I can only think they don’t water this product in or the PH is extremely high.

Perfectly GREEN Grass!
I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews on this product. I have used it for years and have had terrific results. The only downside I see is that I have to mow WAY more frequently - but that's a result of a healthy, green lawn! I will say that I have Pacific Palisades Zoysia grass and one year I put it on too early. The lawn didn't green up for weeks - but this was MY mistake. You can put down as much feed or fertilizer as you want - but it won't make a difference if the temperature isn't warm enough for this type of grass.

Product does just as it claims very well
Threw down a day prior to a soaking rain, and after 6 days I am noticing a greener lawn, along with verdant growth, definitely would recommend this product, especially to someone with a well established lawn.

This product worked as advertised!
June last year our lawn was not great. We watered and put green max on. Within 3 days we could see some differences. After 3 weeks the lawn looked better it had ever looked. Dark green during summer. We did the Fall application. Lawn looks great now in March. We Just put the Spring application. Great product!!

Tried 8 products over 4 years, THIS is the ONE!
I live in a very sunny and dry climate with minimal rain during the summer months and my soil lacks iron so have been struggling to find something that keeps the lawn fed, happy and green without application burn spots. I tried this one on a whim, my lawn has never looked better (over the last few years have done 8 other commercial and local products,and paid a local company too, all without great results) and I will let the no filter photos speak for themselves. You can see my beautiful/lush green yard in the foreground and in the background you can see my neighbors yard that isn't green, its struggling and is full of brown/dry spots. I'm impressed Scotts! If you have any other tips or recommendations for me please let me know, still fairly new to lawn care and would be happy to try out other products! Thank you!!

Works great on Bermuda!
If you guys need a pop of color from your granular application, this stuff works great! I usually check during the year for the cheaper prices. Getting ready to put this stuff down during our hot temps in Texas.

This product works great I would recommend.
I applied this about two weeks ago after a very dry spell hit the region. My lawn was very dried out and brown. I applied and waited for a green up. After about three to four days my lawn started to show life. Then after a good rain finally came my deep green lawn came back.

Deep Green
I noticed over the past few years that a few of my neighbors had lawns that were deeper green than mine
I finally figured it out. Their sidewalks were stained from irrigation with well water that has higher iron content
Ive used Green Max ever since
Now they ask me how my lawn looks so great
This also aids in needing less water by driving the roots deeper and chokes off the weeds.
Water your lawn before applying

My grass has never been more green. I used the Scott's Deluxe spreader which made it super easy to apply. Definitely a product I will continue to use every year. It's nice to have a lawn that can compete with the neighbors!

Worked for my yellowish patches
Great product for filling in dead and dying patches of grass. I had noticed some yellowing patches in my lawn and figured I'd give this a shot. Combined with the elite spreader, it made short work of getting my lawn back to where it should be. Nice and green and healthy looking.

Green lawn - check
This product really made my lawn green. I'm not sure if it really made it more healthy or not, but it was definitely much greener than my neighbor's lawn which is well-cared for, too. If you are looking for green, give this a try. I used it as an extra treatment to my normal regimen.
