Scotts Green MAX Lawn Food

I used this on my St. Augustine grass and have been very happy with the results. The lawn greened up nicely, growth picked up, and the runners have started filling in some patchy areas. Easy to apply and definitely something I’d use again as part of my lawn routine.

This is the best lawn food I have ever seen. I spread some in the fall, and the lawn remained GREEN throughout this past winter, only where it was spread. Amazing.

Before and after. Lawn was struggling a bit in the spring. Applied this lawn food and a week later it looks amazing. Dark green and full, as advertised.

Works pretty good, I wouldn't call it amazing but does work.

We just bought a house. Kids had been playing in the grass and there are holes and yellow grass. Its hard to tell. It looks bermuda and then someone threw some random grass seed out and some weeds. Either way a massive area was yellow and brown dying with holes. Horrible to say the least. It doesn't help that it's hard Ga clay dirt and very dry. Probably never fertilized. I got this product. Its soooo easy to use. The spray actually goes a good distance and its the perfect pressure as it comes out. It did not leak or drip. Super easy, really. I watered a little before then used the product then watered after. I have hand watered for 2 weeks every day or every other day which we know is not as good as using a long sprinkler. In hand watering I have not used a ton of water. With that being said... YES this product works. The grass is so so much greener and the holes are trying to fill in. I highly recommend this product. I used it September in mid Georgia. I added two not great pictures. There is a flower bed now over part of the area but you can still see the improvement. It happened in just 2 weeks!!!

Great for our yard!

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: ⚠️ 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. ⚠️ 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. ⚠️ 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.

I bought this product in March 2025. It went beyond my expectations, the lawn looked healthy and green within a few days even my landscaper complemented my grass. I let him think it was him. I didn’t tell him that I use this product. I’m getting ready to order another bag for spring. It will be my secret when the landscaper comments on how healthy my grass is looking I’ll give him the credit.

this is a great product just be aware of who you are buying it from
