Works well, but it's a stain that can be messy. You will be surprised how much better yards look.

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.

After using too much weed killer for lawns, I ended up with patches of dead grass the color of straw. The dead spots were mostly devoid of grass and pulled focus.. i needed my grass to be green in time for a neighborhood special event and an influx of visitors. I researched several brands of grass paint and decided on this one. None seemed a clear choice based on reviews. I read and followed the directions. I watched videos on YouTube. I said prayers to not let me duck it up. As suggested, I used a battery powered sprayer to apply the product. A hand pump would be impractical. It takes a little practice to get it right. You will need to fine tune the sprayer to dispense the right amount of product. Yiull need to practice in order to find the best angle to hold sprayer nozzle, the correct distance from the grass and the correct amount of time making each pass. If the nozzle moves too slow, is too close or angled poorly too much paint will dispense and create an unnatural vivid green spot. It also takes practice to understand the best technique apllyimg to dead spots vs grass that’s just not green.Hot tips: Practice in the backyard first. More practice means getting a more natural appearance. More practice means more paint consumption. Consider buying an extra bottle. I was confident I could do it with one bottle only to order a second. Don’t apply if it’s dewy at night. Best applied when it’s sunny and 72 outside. Don’t apply if it’s breezy. Use cardboard strips weighted down w bricks or a drop cloth to protect from overspray. Don’t apply too much at once. Achieve desired shade of green with several lighter coats. Read and follow directions on bottle. They are helpful, true and accurate. Once the dead spots were green it looked very uneven and obviously artificial. It required more paint than expected to blend everything together. Wear vinyl gloves. Clean sprayer after use so it can be used again. I ended up with some overspray on myself and on parts of sidewalk & curb. I easily cleaned up with soap, water and a scrub brush. The overspray on cement cleaned up w a pass of the pressure washer, but not with soap and scrub brush. The overspray on the house came off with 409 and a scrub brush.Neighbors gave thumbs up and I received many compliments about how green and gorgeous my lawn looked. That was satisfying and made the effort worth it. The grass still looked good for about 4 weeks and thru several mowings. I may paint it again based on the positive feedback. I’ve pondered turning off the irrigation, letting it die and keeping it green with the paint.

My yard was completely AZ tan before I sprayed. Now it's a lush NW green. A must have in AZ when the grass dies off by mid July. This will last until the heat let's up again. No matter what I do even if I water 3 times a day it dies so I'll just save some water for a couple months and by October it will start growing through again. I used one bottle for this size lawn, went over it twice, I could have don't a bit of a better job but it'll pass. Neighbors love it too and wanted to know what I used, even sent a link to my landscaper when he asked, he said he was going to use it on his back yard lol. I suspect we'll all have the same color grass soon. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to reduce their water usage in the summer or avoid the HOA. Lol
