It does actually work at greening up grass by feeding it nutrients and iron, however, the bag is definitely not good for 40,000 sq ft. If your yard is around that size you’d ideally want at least 2 or 3 bags for coverage. I used a Scott’s broadcast push spreader, dialed to the instructed settings, however it did not distribute the fertilizer evenly and you can clearly see the lines where I walked with the spreader. I would gladly recommend this product, but I would also recommend using a better broadcast spreader and purchasing more than what the bag claims to cover.

Excellent product. Go my lawn looking better than ever. Top value for your money. I recommend using the lowest setting on your scotts spreader, like 4 and half.

This is a FLA only product. So far it is delivering the rapid green-up as advertised. Zoysia looks very good with only a week since application. Need to be very careful with amount applied. Could result in an over Nitrogen application issue if you are not extremely with spreader setting.

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.

This product advertised greening the lawn in just three days. But I chose to give it 2 weeks before I write a review. I applied this fertilizer on May 30, 2025 and I took this photo yesterday roughly six days after I mowed the lawn. This fertilizer has done the magic. My grasses were growing so slowly that I didn't have to mow my lawn in three weeks. I was also considering reseeding my lawn because the lawn seems thinning out. But since I applied the fertilizer the grasses are growing so rapidly as well as greened as advertised. Overall I am more than happy with this product.
