Greens Lawn Quickly
This product works quickly and efficiently. I am on the 3rd season of my new centipede sod. It's been an extremely harsh window but spring seems to be just around the corner. My grass was brown almost everywhere. I laid the fertilizer down pretty heavy and within 3 days I saw noticeable improvement. After 2 weeks it’s almost all completely dark green! My neighbors are asking which lawn service company I am using. I have been watering it every day and that makes it work even better. One word of caution though is to make sure you blow off your concrete driveway as it will stain.

Crayola could not design a more perfect green!
I am ridiculously satisfied with this product. Especially as we are coming out of the winter season where my lawn has been dormant and brown, this product sprung life back into every corner of my property! I will continue to use this time and again. It’s easy, clean, useful, affordable, productive, and drives envy in all my neighbors as they continuously ask “what’s your secret??” Pick it up today. You will not be let down!

Works fast and looks good
Early warm weather, applied the lawn food, rained next day and grass is looking good after a week. I want to see how long the feed last before next application but for quick results it works great! Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Darkest Green Grass I've Seen
This is a very consistent size material. You might not think it matters but I believe it does. The material flows at a continuous rate from the hopper to the broadcast wheel. This give the best chance for even material dispersal throughout the lawn. The material composition provided a very deep green appearance to my lawn.

Fantastic Mix
This is the best product I have found to green up my grass quickly. I water regularly but there always seems to be one area in the sun that turns brown no matter what. I apply this and water and it is green again in no time.

Lawn Food
Its early spring for me in the midwest. I've applied the lawn food. I have no doubt Scott's Lawn Food will help it be fabulous. Once the grass gets growing a bit more I'm sure it will be great. Photos too come!

Green Lawn Fast!
The Green Max Lawn Food is great. My lawn was starting to turn brown and wasn't looking great. I applied the Green Max Lawn Food and watered, I noticed a difference in just a day or two and my lawn was looking like early spring a few days after that. Great product!

Food For Hungry Lawns
Scotts Green Max Lawn Food is a unique, dual-action formula that feeds lawn and supplements with iron. I didn't find it difficult to spread. In fact, it was applied easily with our basic Scott's push spreader.
I like that it can be applied to any type of grass, and the fact that it is okay to re-enter lawn immediately after product is applied
Spring is my annual preferred time to fertilize since it's best applied when temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F.
I know that regular feedings help my lawn look it’s best and provide the nutrients it needs to withstand the stresses of weeds, weather and activity. After I mow, I leave the grass clippings on the lawn, because it allows grass to use water more effectively. It's important to water also. Doing it between 6 and 10AM means less water is lost to evaporation and more reaches the roots.
Scotts Green Max Lawn Food helps lawns become greener and thicker due to the fact that it contains 5.17% iron, an essential micro-nutrient, one hundred percent lawn food with no fillers. I have seen nice results in our back yard. It is much greener and the brown areas seem to be filling in due to using Scotts Green Max Lawn Food

GREEN
I've tried so many grass fertilizers over the years until I finally found one several years ago, Scotts Max Lawn Food. It really does green up your grass in a few days with it's high potency Nitrogen. The best part is the grass stays green for two to three months.

Easy to use and works great
This product is so east to use and it works great. No mixing of chemicals required. No mess. It makes the lawn look like I had professionals come in every week. I may be making some neighbors envious of my lawn who have theirs done by professionals.

Really Easy to Use and No Wait Walk.on
With really warm weather early I applied this several days ago. I can already see the grass greening. Best of all I felt safe walking on it along with my small dog minutes after appling. Looking forward to seeing what a 2nd application will do in a couple of months.

Super green!
I bought this product to green up some spots in my yard and it worked awesome! The next time I get it I will definitely be getting it for the entire yard. I also used in combination with some other Scott’s products which I think helped the most. Definitely recommend to others!

Did the job and made my lawn look great
The Scotts Green Max lawn food really gave my lawn the shot in the arm it needed after the tough winter months. It really greened up the lawn quickly, especially in the brown areas. I would definitely recommend this product and I will purchase it again in the future.

Green Max works awesome
I had a few dead spots in my yard from where the dogs had run through. I seeded last year , and had a little growth. Green Max went to work. The whole lawn looks great and my patch area is about gone.

Winter in Ohio
My family lives in Ohio where it's still winter. Typically we start mowing and treating the lawn in early April. Some seasons can be really tough on reviving the lawn such as our usually cold winter when it snowed a lot. I am very excited to try this product on my lawn because it needs so much after the brutal winter. It looks very easy to use and the bag has enough product for the size of my lawn. I do have a large home and need enough to cover my front, side and back yard. Scott's products always work well on our grass. Wish my neighbor across the street would do something about his dandelions!

Greener than green
Used Scott’s Max on my lawn and really enhanced the color of my lawn! My lawn was dull in color and I was skeptical but after applying and following directions I was pleasantly surprised to see the difference that it made.

Works wonders
It's that time of the year to get outside & make the yard look great again. I got Scotts Green Max Lawn food. And I'm already noticing my yard starting to turn greener. This is a 2 in 1 formula lawn food. It's easy to spread throughout the yard & ready to go to work on the grass. Scotts lawn care products always give me the best results.

Wonderful lawn food!
This product works as promised, long standing Scott's user here, super familiar with this particular lawn food. The secret to this deep greening food is the 5% iron which is a micronutrient so you see quick results. Its amazing how well it works, nice lush green lawn everytime.
