My grass is green in the winter!!
I applied Scotts Green Max 3 days ago to my Empire Zoysia grass. I wanted to put the feed before Spring to Jumpstart the grass out dormant status. Within two days the grass was green and seeds started sprouting.

Great product
Scotts products are always reliable and of good quality. Once I find a product that works I stick with it. Everything that I have used by Scotts has been wonderful and like the saying goes if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

you will not be disappointed!
I am a Scotts fan. Having used their products for many years. Max is one of the best that Scotts makes! I still remember the first time I used it. I was blown away by the results. Quick results too. I think it is the iron in it that makes it so good. Don’t hesitate to purchase this item, it is THAT GOOD!

Greener Grass less weeds
The grass is just starting to grow in my area. I applied Scotts Green Max to my lawn and could see a difference in a few days. Lawn looks greener than my neighbors. I can't wait to see how much better my lawn looks after a couple of weeks. Good product!

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS !
It does exactly what it says it will do if YOU USE IT AS INSTRUCTED. Those who think their way is better are going to have issues because this is a strong fertilizer which will burn if used incorrectly. They come on here and give bad reviews after misusing the product...NOT the product's fault. They need to go back to a commercial lawn service which squirts a 2-0-0 liquid on their lawn. Follow the instructions and you will be very pleased.

Great product!
This works great best lawn food I have ever used and results were fantastic. It took a little longer than 3 days (about a week to see the change) but I will continue to use it and recommend it highly.

Great Lawn Food
I used this late in the season in a bad area of my lawn. I watered it daily when there was no rain and the results were great. I now have a very green section of grass which was once sparse and dingy!!!

Excellent product
I'm thrilled with the results. The lawn really needed some fertilizer, so I applied this product, watered the lawn thoroughly once a week for 3 weeks, and now the lawn is just amazing. It's the thickest green carpet I've ever seen. Then I made the mistake of buying Pennington brand fertilizer for the back lawn, naively thinking that lawn fertilizers are all more or less the same, but wow, what a difference. The back lawn isn't nearly as green, I've been watering and tending it like a lawn slave, but the results are just not the same. I strongly recommend this product and would not buy anything else in the future.

Beautiful lush lawn
I bought thus product first in the early spring and then again about 2 weeks ago, my lawn looked horrible after my having to have a lawn service do my lawn last year ( hopefully never again) when I was able to get back in my lawn I was shockyat the mess they had made and the places my lawn was dying, I have a sprinkler system. I started using Max Green and now my lawn looks and feels like MY lawn, still have a ways to go to get rid of all the weeds they brought in but much better. I could not be happier!

Great stuff
I use this product every 6 to 8 weeks on my front, side and back lawn over my midnight blue bluegrass lawn and my lawn looks almost blackish. Very deep deep darkest green I have ever seen. A very thick lush weed free lawn. This does make your grass fast and lush and can be really thick when you mow. And definitely helps crowd any weeds. But that's the feeding you are giving it.

Beautiful dark green-blue lawn ever!
1week ago I followed the setting listed on the bag. It rained that evening and I saw a slight change in 3 days but was not impressed. By the 5th day... WOW!!! The most beautiful deep green-blue lawn I’ve ever had. Scott’s green max is worth its weight in gold. I highly recommend this product.

Would definitely recommend!!!
I put this on my lawn and after only one application and a week later. (Yes I know it’s green in three days but I’ll give or take on weather and climate, so a week was good for me). I could swear by this stuff my grass has never looked so good! I’ve had neighbors come and ask me what fertilizer I use and all I told them was Scott’s green in 3days. This stuff really works, or at least it does for me.

I am so sorry but I never recieved this product.
I never recieved this product. I have used in in the past and it worked very well. GREEN, GREEN grass! I will use this product in the future. The product was easy to use and made my St. Augustine grass grow great runners that have spread through my back yard!

Great Green up
Great green up with proper water.. Ensure you water 20 minutes daily with the first 7 days after application. My neighbors all asked what i did to change my lawn appearance after the initial application. I have seen continued green coverage 2 weeks later.

Quick and easy for a perfect lawn
My grass was just not looking they way I felt is should. I looked at a few products and decided to give Green Max a try. It turned out better than I thought. Within a short time I had a deep beautiful green lawn. Can recommend this product enough. Give it a try, you will be so happy you did.

Scott’s Green Max
I got this product as a sample with the promise of an honest evaluation
Pretty much it greens your lawn quickly and easily. READ THE LABEL. It advises you not to leave this product on your sidewalk/driveway as it will stain it.
If you follow the directions, your lawn will be green.
I would recommend this to those whose lawn is not as green as you like.
