Works

I purchased this product last year. It's a good product that does what it says, and the color is perfect. I had some left over from last year, so decided to try it a few days ago. The product evidently does not store well from one season to the next in that it is now very clumpy, and well, impossible to get completely liquid again. I tried shaking and stirring vigorously. I then added it to my sprayer as directed, but it ended up clogging the works. I am purchasing it again but will not store it again for the following season.

It worked as intended.. it is time consuming !

It is not the color of grass. It looks bad. The green is not even close to the color of grass. Once opened the lid will not screw back on so I can’t close it or I would have sent it back.

I am aware of these products ever since I marshalled at PGA events and saw that they were dyeing the grass around the golf courses for majors. They were spraying with a garden hose, so they were buying products like this by the tankful. So I was comfortable with using it on a small area where I had scalped my lawn this fall. The product came promptly. It was easy to use. It had good coverage. However, in the days after I applied it, I had a couple of neighbors and the mailman ask me about it. Mainly. they said it looked blue. Perhaps the product was inadequately mixed, and the blue and yellow pigments had not combined adequately. I don't have another current need for this product and have a lot left over - next time I use it I will go out of my way to really shake it up so any pigments that are separated will combine, and then I'll see if it was a unique occurrence or a larger issue for me.

This is the same stuff they use at the local golf course. I posted a before and after picture (I have two sections like the lawn section in the photo so probably close to 800 square feet FYI) - and I could have gone full emerald green, but I kept it rather "light" which I thought was a little more realistic looking. I read a lot of reviews here and the tips & comments helped me so I hope that this review will help you too.Unlike many reviewers - I had NO problems with gumming up or clogging BUT I followed the directions and shook the bottle REALLY well. Make no mistake, this is paint, like really thick paint, kind of like the consistency of watery yogurt (!) so shake it really good. Then, it tells you to fill the sprayer first with water and THEN add the product. I think this step is very important. I used the Chapin's 2 gallon sprayer with "sure spray Anti-Clog filter for clog-free spraying" (which I bought here on Amazon) and which may have also helped eliminate clogging. After I added the paint to the 2 gallon water filled container, I shook it (really good), like instructed. Then, as I painted the lawn, I kept shaking it every few minutes thinking that would prevent the product settling & potentially causing a clog . The anti-clog mechanism at the end of the tube in the sprayer may, indeed, have helped too. When it came time to refill the container, even though it hadn't clogged, because of all the reviews about the sprayers clogging, I went ahead and rinsed out the spray tube and the little "anti-clog" attachment, then refilled it with water & added paint again.OK, a few more tips... The container is not that big! 32oz sounds like a lot but it says to use 6-12 oz per gallon! I did not want to run out and I'm frugal (aka cheap) so since the instructions say to paint the lawn twice going vertical and then horizontal, I decided to err on the side of too little rather than too much. So I used 6 oz per gallon. That was plenty!!!!! (May also have helped prevent clogging.) The second time for the second coat, being the cheapie that I am, I only added 8oz to the whole 2 gallons of water. It actually seemed fine! And now I have 12oz left for future use!Now don't forget what some reviewers have said! This is paint and will stain you, your shoes your hands the cement- everything! In fact it seems to stain more & quicker than regular paint. So I wore bags on my feet, gloves,paint clothes and then I used a big piece of cardboard to block to "mask" the edges (see photo). Have water and a rag handy to wipe up a spill asap.I highly recommend treating the lawn like you're painting a wall. Do the trim first - which I did (going around the lawn with a big piece of cardboard to block overspray) and then you can just paint the inside without worrying about overspray. If you go slow and close you can literally paint the lawn emerald green. I went fast with wide strokes 2-3 feet back and forth and went with a light coat. Then the second coat was the same but doing my strokes in a different direction. I could have used my leftover paint and gone for a third coat but I was fine with the way it turned out.

This worked like a charm. I had to do two layers and this got my whole small front lawn. It survived the wet winter and it even rained 3 days after application and it's holding up so well. My grass dies every year to no avail so this hides the awful dead grass. It's great!
