Finally found something that works!!

100% Satisfied!
By David on 10/17/2021
I was searching for a product that would help me take back control over my lawn from crabgrass. After neglecting my yard earlier in the year due to an excessive amount of rain and flooding, by late August my lawn was inundated with crabgrass. I ordered the kit and first followed the directions and mixed a 4 gallon amount in a backpack sprayer. I spot sprayed that amount around the perimeter of the house and waited about 5 days. The crabgrass was noticeably doing in 3-5 days. Once satisfied that the chemical had not harmed my Tall Fescue, I mixed a 20 gallon amount in a tow-behind pump operated aerator sprayer and covered about 2/3 of an acre. This product did exactly what it said it would. Kills crabgrass and doesn't harm Tall Fescue. Truly a satisfied customer.
Works

Bought this mainly for torpedo grass but what it did to the crabgrass was amazing. No yellowing or browning of lawn and within 3 days the crabgrass was dead or dying. It also took out most of the torpedo grass but required a second application. I tried it on spurge which it is not listed for and it took that out also. I highly recommend using the bluing agent so you can see what you have done.
Highly recommend

We have used this product previously and was completely satisfied with how it has taken care of the crab grass we have in the northern state, it is especially effective in the spring before the seeds have a chance to germinate. We also use it to spot kill when we get crab grass in August.
This is perfect for killing St Augustine

Crab grass

Product worked great!
By Stuart on 07/29/2022
Lawn was seeded in early April with contractors mix. Used product with Duo Stick in July, crabgrass covered the entire yard, 20,000 sq ft. Product killed over 50% of crabgrass. Very pleased with results, but it probably would have worked better if I'd had better soil moisture.
Works great

Excellent Results
By Harvey on 08/18/2022
I applied Drive XLR8 to my yard with Prime Source Duo Stick Select when no rain was forecast for several days. After about five hours after application, we had an unexpected popup rain shower. I was afraid the rain had washed it all away. Within a few days, all of the crabgrass and clover throughout the yard turned yellow and died. I previously tried the stuff from the big box stores that was supposed to kill crabgrass, but it was ineffective. Drive XLR8 was money well spent.
Works well

Ultimate crabgrass killer

Fantastic Product and Excellent Service
By Mario on 08/26/2022
Our 2 year old lawn from a new home construction became infested with White Dutch Clover. It spread fast in many areas of the lawn. I used 2-4-D and that got most of the weeds but only slightly burned the clover. I spray regularly for weeds but couldn't get rid of the clover. These was an amazing kit. I have never used the dye or surfactant before so I was hesitant about it at first. When applying the dye I started very light and needed to use a little more. I was worried about the new driveway as I had light overspray. As it says through the dye fades away in 24-48hrs zero issues. Tractor tires do have a light tint though as I used a pull behind sprayer. The first few days looked like it was working and then continued to see improvements week after week. I am assuming this is the Surfactant shielding the Herbicide and letting it do it's job after rain and sprinklers. To this day about 3 weeks after spraying we feel it's still working as intended. We have an open field full of weeds to the North of us ready for development and another side a bare lawn with patches of weeds. This has been the best product to use in conjunction with 2-4-D on our lawn.
Very effective post-emergent

Torpedo grass
By Chris on 09/01/2022
This with seed oil does not kill torpedo grass. Tried multiple applications post emergence spot treatment with no effect.

Works like a charm.
By Harold on 09/02/2022
I had a lot of crabgrass and the kit worked great. The Surfactant helped bind the XLR8 to the plants, the indicator dye really helped me insure that all the crabgrass plants received treatment, and the XLR8 did a great job of killing the crabgrass without harming the regular grass. I would definitely buy this product again and have recommended it to some of my neighbors.
Mostly effective
By Mike on 09/02/2022
This has easily been the worst year for crabgrass growth since 1987 here and I was hoping to kill all the unwanted grassy weeds and the clover in the yard as the information indicated would occur with application. The weeds are mostly dead after TWO applications three weeks apart and much of the clover is killed. There is still enough of both left in the yard (or at least partly alive) that I am disappointed. I might use this product again but I would look for something else before doing so. The death progression takes a long time - I would prefer a much faster acting herbicide.
Waiting to see
By Jerome on 09/03/2022
Hard to write a serious review as it's only been a couple of days since applying the chemicals. After carefully reading all the instructions for the kit, I safely mixed the chemicals and applied the solution using a pull behind, 15 gallons tank with boom sprayer. My target weed is crab grass that made it through the spring pre-emergent application I did. After a couple of days, I have noticed some browning on the crab grass. But there are other areas that aren't affected at all by the chemicals. Still waiting to see after 5 days. What i thought was crab grass might not be crab grass after all. I honestly couldn't tell if this "KIT" is good or bad. Still waiting to see.
DRIVE out crabgrass and other weeds
By Scott on 09/09/2022
Been purchasing all lawn and insect chemicals from domyown for past three years-commercial grade effective products that groundskeepers and exterminators use and unavailable at local big box or garden centers, Great. prices, fast sometimes free shipping, easy online ordering, able. to view product label and application instructions. Applied Drive as directed with surfactant using Chapin battery backpack sprayer Used primarily for mature crabgrass that escaped pre-emergent treatment in spring, especially along edge of driveway and sidewalk and also for several. spots of white clover and black medic Within 2 days noticed crabgrass turning yellow eventually reddish brown It's been 2 weeks, little if any crabgrass, clover and black medic total kill, no harm to lawn Compared to products found in. big box stores is considerably more effective higher concentration and more economical. Drive 18.92% Quinclorac @ high app rate of 1.5 oz/gal=$1.49/1000 sq ft Weed-b-gon with crabgrass control only 2.13%. Quinclorac @ app rate of 4 oz/gal=$1.68/1000 sq ft, used this last year with very poor results Highly recommend Drive!

Don't Waste Your Money
By Heather on 09/19/2022
Given that I spent $71 on a bottle of this stuff, I was very optimistic that it work on my crab grass. After numerous applications - no such luck. Very disappointed.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not receive the expected results from using Drive. Drive is known as one of the best crabgrass herbicides in on the market and is used daily by professional lawn care companies. There can be certain stressors such as high heat, drought and not including a surfactant etc that can cause treatment failure.

Drive XLR8 Herbicide crabgrass killer
By Paul on 09/20/2022
Drive Works
By John on 09/23/2022
I sprayed drive and within two days the crabgrass was brown and my sprayer wasn't even working properly. Had the sprayer not had a clog from a prior use, I am sure it would have been even better. I plan to spray one more time to ensure effective elimination of all crabgrass. It had no impact on clovers.
Good stuff, jury's still out
By Jeff on 09/23/2022
I live in Tejas. Johnson grass (crabgrass) is a state tradition and bane. I bought this kit to experiment on my weeds. So far (four weeks and one application) the crabgrass showed some stress, but still thrives. I have applied it again, hoping repetition will yield better results. As far as DoMyOwn goes, they're a great company and I'll order from them in the future when preemergent and grub season comes around. Their costs and shipping were excellent and I am glad I found the company.
