EnviroColor 4EG0032 851612002100 (1,000 Sq.Ft) 4Evergreen Grass & Turf Paint, Green

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.

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.

Surprisingly easy to apply. Follow all instructions and your lawn will look great for any special event. Shake concentrate thoroughly. Lawn dried overnight. I was concerned about dye transferring to dog paws, but no problem. Be sure to wear old shoes when applying as soles can be greened. See my before and after views

I bought this product as a last resort. About two weeks before a wedding shower which was to be held in my back yard I decided to feed the lawn to make it look good, well my spreader was apparently broken and was dropping a thin line of fertilizer straight down... The end result was a backyard which looked like a football feild because of strips of burned grass. With no time to spare I looked a bit online and bought this product. I received the product promptly and I was anxious to see if it would work. The bottom line is that it does do what it is intended to do, it paints (or dies I suppose) your lawn a relativley realistic color of green. Does it look real, no ofcourse not, especially not on close inspection, what grass looks good when its dead flat and painted green. But thats not the point, it worked because it did what I wanted it to do and it greatly minimized the noticeability of the dead grass lines, especially when standing level with the lawn (as opposed to looking down on it from a deck). I was able to make a little over 4 gallons of the lawn paint per the instructions, I wish I could have made more given the pretty steep price of over $20 (but I was in a pinch), unfortunately I only patched up about half my lawn so I decided to buy 2 more Envirocolors just to be on the safe side, and here is where things took a turn. I received my second batch promptly, but since I had gotten 2 this time I immediately noticed that one bottle was full to the brim and quite heavy, while the other was about half empty and much lighter. This really didnt make me to happy since I paid over $60 (with shipping) for two bottles of over glorified food die. So in conclusion, the product works, it's not a miracle worker but if your in a Pinch it will help, im giving this product 3 stars however for the half empty bottle I received. I have not yet tried to contact the company about this.

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!
