This product works! Results where evident well within 72 hours. My lawn is infested with crabgrass but this product seems to be taking care of the problem. I will definitely use it again.

Got behind on my crabgrass management this year. Was concerned about its effectiveness on somewhat mature crabgrass (no seed heads yet) . Was pleased to see it is killing off the plant. Doesn't seem to harm the fescue.

This stuff works so well you MUST follow label for rate of application. I will admit to being one of those guys that will add an extra couple ounces per gallon to assure kill. Not with this stuff...it doesn't take much. I also love that it kills broad leafs as well...so when spraying crabgrass and you see that occasional dandelion you can hit it.

Sprayed on crab grass, two days later crab grass is dying. Best product I have found to kill serious infestation of crab grass.

I have used Drive XLR8 along with Duo Stick 3 times over the past 45 days. I have had zero luck. A few sprigs here and there turned purple for a few days but nothing ever turned white and died. First batch was 1.5oz per gallon, nothing happened, second batch was 2.5 oz per gallon and again nothing. Last batch about a week ago was 4oz per gallon and nothing. I have added the correct amount of duo stick for each spraying but zilch. It has been an extremely wet summer for TN so the product has had plenty of moisture to get absorbed into the roots. Guess I have some serious superman crabgrass or I just do not know what I am doing. Time to try a different product because the crabgrass in my yard is taking over the entire yard very quickly.

I had a major crab grass infestation in my front yard. I mixed the Drive XLR8 herbicide with water & a non-ionic surfactant as per the directions. Within 4 days the crab grass was completely dead & brown. The mixture did not affect any of my rye & fescue grass so now I'm ready to re-seed with healthy grass to replace the dead crab grass. I am happy with this product and will use it again, if necessary.

Followed label 3 table spoons per gallon to spot spray and used Non-ionic surfactant instead of recommended DyneAmic Surfactant and I didnt mow a few days before or after application and crabgrass was completly dead in a 7-8 days im not talking yellow but full on brown DEAD . My lawn is ryegrass and didnt effect it in anyway . With this in my lawn arsenal I can now worry about other things than how am I gonna kill this CrabGrass.

After viewing several videos suggesting that using xlr8 as a remedy for crabgrass. The first problem I have is the directions do Not give you the true mixing amounts to kill the crabgrass. So it becomes trial and error in order to find the right mixture that will yield the results desired I unfortunately haven't found that mixture So I'm continuing to adjust

I love this product and will definitely get it again in the future, if needed. It killed all of the crabgrass which had grown out of control. It does exactly what it states. I don't mind the yellow spots because now I can till and plant grass seeds that I want.

Good strong herbicide for Crabgrass elimination. It does take 5 to 7 dats to see the effect of green blades turning brown. Good choice for Crabgrass elimination.

Didnt realize how much crabgrass I really had in the yard until 3 days later when it was all brown! Worked quick and was exactly what I needed.

This stuff was incredible. Our yard became 95% crabgrass. Even the mature crabgrass died within less than 7 days of application. Our yard went from icky weeds to dried up dead crabgrass that we cut super low leaving almost all dust and dirt exposed. We then aerated and seeded using all DMO products. Our yard is so lush and green - it is turf quality. We love it. We do have some winter weeds that just popped up and took over so we are using tenacity this weekend. I heard it works great. So excited for how our yard will look in the spring. Going for best yard in the neighborhood!

I had high hopes for this stuff, just as I have had with previous expensive herbicides I've tried. First the good. My crabgrass is turning brown and I assume it will eventually die, although it's too early to say for certain. Another application may be necessary. The bad is that it has had zero effect on any other weeds in my yard. Both wild violet and ground ivy are thriving after treatment, which is unfortunate. I have spent hundreds of dollars on herbicides and followed the directions precisely. I have consistently been let down by these more expensive products that don't live up to their expectations. In my personal opinion, a cheap bottle if 2 4 D is the most cost effective solution for weed control that I have found thus far, but I will continue my quest. I do think I am done with the upper end products. They seem to be better at killing my wallet more than weeds.

Not a big savings but products are available. The ability to find the right product for the needs means something and the customer service is good.

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.

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.

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.

I have Bermuda grass in clay soil. I take pride in my yard and have used all types of weed killer. I have had a strip of weeds adjacent to my driveway I just could not get rid of. Pulling the weeds and chemicals would not work. One application with my pump sprayer and they are gone! FYI my Bermuda yellowed for a week and I though I messed up. The weeds were dead in three days and my grass was back to normal in 10.

Outstanding results - Withering in a week after watering in. Gone in 2. No yellowing in the Bermuda.

I received what I ordered in a couple of days. No fuss. Price as good as anywhere. It was not stocked by local outlets. It seems to be killing crabgrass (September), but it will really be tested next spring.

I was skeptical about using a herbicide on my lawn as I have tried other products that killed my lawn also. I had areas of crab grass growing so I gave this product a try and I was pleasantly surprised it only killed the crabgrass and not my lawn. It did take 3 to 4 weeks for the results. I live in the Inland Empire of So. California. I followed the directions exactly. I do recommend this product.

Works well! I had crabgrass all over the yard. I spot treated on my tall fescue lawn. It works fast and did not harm the lawn. The crabgrass turned brown within two weeks from applying this herbicide.
