Feeds For Deeper Greening

Scotts Green MAX Lawn Food is a unique formula that feeds your lawn and provides a deep greening in just 3 days. Plus, it’s specially formulated not to stain concrete, driveways or other surfaces around your lawn, when used as directed.

Unique 2-in-1 Formula For Any Grass Type

Our lawn food contains 5.17% iron, an essential micro-nutrient that enhances the greening process so you see results fast. Additionally, each granule is 100% nutrition, so your lawn gets all food and no filler.

Tips For Lawn Care Success

First, regular feedings help your lawn look it’s best and provide the nutrients it needs to withstand the stresses of weeds, weather and activity. Secondly, after you mow leave the grass clippings on the lawn! This allows grass to use water more effectively. Finally, water; utilize nature’s sprinkler as much as possible. When you do have to water, do it between 6 and 10AM - less water is lost to evaporation and more reaches the roots.

Works with time and realistic expectations
I recently purchased a home and know zero about yard maintenance other than mowing. How we all of my neighbors have gorgeous laws, so of course I can’t have mine looking like the forgotten stepchild. Lol.My yard and everything in it was starting to die under the daily 104 temperatures in Texas. It’s been a cruel summer 🎶I went to tiktok to find what the most reliable product was for green grass and saw this product constantly recommended.The process was easy. I simply followed the directions on the back which pretty much said just spread and water, so that’s what I did.Now this product advertised that you would get green color in three days. I’m not saying that it’s impossible as there are so many factors that come into play with growing and gardening as I have quickly learned. I didn’t notice any dramatic changes in 3 days, however I am starting to see results after about 1 week. My yard still needs work to fill in patches that have little to no grass, but I am happy with the results as I can now see the change taking affect.I have been watering daily for 30min/1hour and I have included the pictures of the progress so far. The first picture is from July 15th and the second from July 22nd (one week) Can’t wait to see how it is in a month or two!

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2021
I am extremely pleased with this product. I ordered the Scott’s Wiz spreader to go with it and getting it applied was super easy. I also like that per the instructions you can still walk on the lawn after applying if necessary. We had our lawn installed last year but due to scheduling it was rough because we had to get it installed at the hottest point in the summer. Ultimately, we were about to get it in a good state and it stayed that way for several months and stayed green until around December which is amazing, but Fescue is like that.

As you can see from the first two pictures from around Easter the lawn was thin and patchy and didn’t look great. The next three are from June and it looks beautiful. Not only did the Scott’s help stimulate growth in the patchy spots, it also is giving the grass that luscious deep green color. It also proved to be versatile, as I seemed to not get even distribution on my first run which caused a diagonal patch of the lawn to still be thin and patchy as the rest of the lawn started to look great. I was able to supply additional product in the spotty areas and those filled in too. We did have quite a bit of rain as well after my first application which may have helped.

The only critique I have is the whole 3 day thing, that was not my experience, it took about 2 weeks from application to get where it is in the picture now, though I will say the areas I hit on my second application did seem to fill in much faster, around 4-5 days. Lastly, the area I was working was relatively small and I used a half a bag, so for those that have larger yards you may need multiple bags. As far as application, I’d recommend being conservative initially since you can always go back and fill things in. I’m a believer, the stuff works.
