LawnStar Grass Paint Concentrate (500-1,000 sq ft) - for Dormant, Patchy or Faded Lawn - Lush Green Turf Colorant (32 fl oz)

After the first application of weed and grass killer I applied along the side of my driveway and lawn did nothing to get rid of the weeds, I used another product, getting a little over zealous with it. I sprayed it right up to the edge of my yard and a week later I ended up with not just dead weeds, but a lot of dead grass. After looking at it for a week and realizing it wasn't going to grow back any time soon, I started looking around for some way to fix my mistake. Something that would make a brown lawn green again. And it turns out, they make green paint for lawns! I bought a jug of this Lawn Star Grass Paint and a Chapin 20000 Poly Lawn and Garden Sprayer to spray it with. Everyone in my family looked at me like I was crazy to "paint" the lawn. But in the end they were impressed, just like I was. The first coat looked okay, but the second coat was what really blended it all in. Two thin coats work really well to cover brown areas. Thing to keep in mind. This is very watery paint, it will drip if you aren't careful. Take a flattened cardboard box with you to set your sprayer on while working with it or the sprayer may drip paint all over your driveway, sidewalk, patio, etc. I just used the Amazon shipping box that came with my sprayer. Also if you're spraying right up next to something like a sidewalk or driveway you'll want something like a flattened box to hold up in front of the area that's not grass, or you might overspray some of the paint onto the driveway/sidewalk. While it's not always going to be the exact same color as the grass in your yard, the green blends in far more than large brown areas. I'm so glad I found this paint. It looks so much better than the dead grass along the side of my driveway.

So, I am a fairly new resident of the great state of Texas. One thing that seemed odd to me upon moving here was the lack of yard irrigation. I purchased a brand new Bardominium, and there were no inground sprinklers? When I got my first water bill, I immediately understood! I live in the country, so keeping the weeds out is a losing battle. My wife is really not so picky about the yard, but it gets pretty brown. So, I thought I would give this product a try. I got a cheap backpack sprayer from HF for 24 dollars and figured it would be disposable. The product is 32 ounces and makes roughly 4 gallons of spray. I was pretty stingy with the application as I was looking for better, not golf course perfection. The coverage was decent, though at the price point, it would cost well over 100 dollars for the product to do my whole yard. My wife thought the idea was a little crazy but was impressed with the results. I would highly recommend this product for smaller lawns, and I imagine the spot product also works great. Some things I learned: 1. The directions say to wet adjacent concrete in case of overspray. DO THIS! It is so easy to rinse off, but it is a pain on dry concrete. 2. Fill the sprayer with a little water, add the product, and then add the rest of the water. 3. Wear clothes like you would if you were painting because that is EXACTLY what you are doing. 4. A piece of cardboard makes a great barrier when up against the concrete. 5. DO NOT WALK ON CONCRETE AFTER SPRAYING; YOU MAY LEAVE FOOTPRINTS. Well, I'm guessing you might; I wasn't that absent-minded. :) 6. If you get any on your hands, it will clean up with soap and warm water, much like latex paint. 7. Immediately flush your sprayer, and you can use it again! Honestly, the pictures really do not show the actual difference. I thought it looked way better with the naked eye. I was torn on the star rating because of the price point, but I figured that was on me in the end.

I purchased this product because the homeowners association complained about my dying grass and threatened fines if it was not fixed in two weeks. Due to temperatures consistently over 100 degrees and watering restrictions, the grass was not going to get healthy and green in two weeks with watering and fertilizer alone. My lawn area is approx. 250 sq ft. After reading other reviews and wanting to be sure I had enough product I purchased the 32 fl oz container of Lawn Star Grass Paint that states it covers 1,000 sq ft. I followed the direction written on the the product container for coverage for dead/dormant grass 1 part paint 10 part water. I wanted very thorough coverage and I ended up needing to make the mixture twice to cover my lawn. I used about half the container so I feel the stated 1,000 sq ft coverage is accurate. The process took less than 30 minutes for my small lawn area. The paint mixture did not clog my sprayer. The paint turns whatever it touches green so wear gloves and old shoes, don't drip, and cover your hardscaping. When I stepped on the wet paint on the lawn I left green footprints behind me. After the paint was set and dried it did not come up and there were no more footprints. Also, anywhere the grass had died away completely and there was just dirt the green paint looked strange on the dirt but you have to get pretty close to the lawn to notice. The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars is because the final green color does not match the natural green grass color in my neighborhood. The natural grass in my area is a yellow-green color. The color of the paint was a blue-green. It means the grass looks lush but slightly artificial. Overall, The product worked like I expected, I am pleased with the results, I would purchase this product again, and I would recommend this product to others.

I just got my @ss handed to me on this homeowner project. I thought this is an easy task for the front yard for the dead winter yellow grass. Absolutely not. I mixed the recommended amount of paint and water. I go outside to start spraying a sample section and then start the front yard and I’m clogged. I have used many liquids in my backpack battery operated sprayer and have never been clogged! I take apart inside and try to flush it out. I dump some of the solution in a bowl and try to add more water and stir it the best I can. Back outside and clogged again. Bring it in again and run hot water through the sprayer. Got green paint everywhere. Had to clean up every splatter the instant it landed. The sink started leaking green paint water and I’ve never had a leak. So cleaned that up. I ended up outside and dumped half of the solution in the yard. Poured hot water in and tried again now that I’m diluted maybe 75% beyond what was already recommended and diluted… still nothing comes out for more than 15 seconds before being clogged again. I’m sweating and the sun starts to set. So I’ve sprayed five feet maybe in total. The entirety of the yard is untouched. I’m physically sore and wasted half of a weekend day. The yard still looks dead. By the time I water this down 95% beyond recommended dilution to maybe get it through the sprayer will it even stain the yard? Never trying this again. Leaving nature as it was designed and going ti clean my house or do anything but ever spray my yard green for winter again.

This lawn juice is absolutely incredible! In the Army we had a saying, paint makes it what it taint, in other words, painting a 60 yr old truck to make it look new again lol Well old habits are hard to break and my lawn went from eeew to new in about an hour once I got everything set up. I forgot to take before pictures on purpose because I didn’t want any evidence of what it was lol, believe me it was 40% brown and dead grass from years ago when nobody raked or bagged. I’ve been seeding here and there to bring it back. Wish I had known about this stuff years ago. It’s a beautiful natural even lush green, almost a Kentucky blue grass shade I’d say. Compared to both my neighbors burnt lawns, I feel like I just spent hundreds of dollars on a landscaper to achieve this spectacular looking lawn. I used the 2 gallon sprayer in the picture and a 4 ounce per gallon mixture. Don’t forget to shake the fluid before mixing, and the sprayer tank after adding the fluid and several times while spraying the lawn. Adjusted the nozzle to almost closed, a fine mist pattern and pumped it up 25 times. Good to re-pump 10 times every 5 minutes of spraying to keep a good mist and let the excess air come out thru the nozzle when the tank is empty to prevent clogging. Rinse the sprayer tank and nozzle when done and before storing. Test a small area to practice your painting skills first and get comfortable with the solution and coverage. Don’t be afraid to over paint an area, because when it dries, it all looks the same shade. I’d like to think I’m pretty particular about my lawn, and was skeptical of using any chemical dyes, I am so happy I at least tried this once, now I don’t feel so bad because the lawn came out just jaw dropping, eye catching beautifully green. I hope you all have the same results as I have gotten. I love my lawn now!
