    Ruined my Zoysia

    By Jeremy on 09/02/2020

    Verified Purchase

    Ordered this product because it stated it was zoysia friendly. The zoysia had been growing great for 6 weeks from seed, but the weeds were starting to come in strong as well. I marked off my 1000sf sections and applied to exact mixing measurements and sprayed. The weeds never even drooped, but all my new zoysia is brown and dead. I even have a very large tree in middle that all the leaves are now dead on that may be dead now. The weeds are all growing like crazy tho. Do NOT recommend this product on zoysia.

    Hasnt worked for me

    By Jordan on 09/22/2020

    It will kill stuff, it hasn't killed any of the stuff I wanted. So I bought this last year used it, made sure to use the exact mixture ratio. It seemed to burn the tips of the leaves of my crabgrass, but that was it. So this year I thought I would give it a another shot, I was getting a nice crop of cloves and crabgrass. I mixed it a little bit higher of a dosage this time. It killed all my grass, but didn't kill the weeds Lololol. I am not mad it killed my grass as I didnt follow the instructions, but it has still yet to kill any weeds. And this was quite expensive, I hope everyone has better luck than me.

    Excellent for weeds

    By Mrs. on 10/27/2020

    This was the only product that killed all of the weeds which had taken over our yard. It does leave yellow spots as it states, but that's fine. Till your lawn or add more dirt and seed and all will be fine. All of the weeds were dead with two days at the latest.

    Works well

    By Mark on 07/30/2021

    I have not used any of this shipment, however, I did use it earlier this season. I have had a chronic issue with crabgrass for years. I have sprayed for it twice this year. I did not get pre-emergence down this year. I have virtually no crabgrass this year so far.

    Excellent Product

    By Himanshu on 09/10/2021

    I would buy this over and over again. I had a major issue with torpedo & crabgrass, after the first treatment 90% of my weed is gone. I may have to do another spot treatment for the remaining weed.

    Finally, Something that really works!

    By Jim on 09/10/2021

    After spending a lot of time and money on other products from local home improvement stores and having very poor results, it was really great to finally find something that works as advertised. Drive XLR8 really did the job on our stubborn crabgrass, even late in the season when it is hard to kill. I sprayed it on per the instructions and by about 4 days later, the crabgrass was as dead as dead can be. Great product, I highly recommend it. Make sure you also buy the recommended additive to make it 'wet' the crabgrass and allow the poison to work effectively.

    Crabgrass Killer #1

    By Joshua on 09/10/2021

    Wow!! I recently purchased a house and have been slowly reclaiming the yard from the wild. I used Scott's weed and feed to get rid of most of the misc. weeds and clover, only to have crabgrass start creeping in all summer long till almost half the yard had become infested with it. Planning for the future, I decided to plant some Zoysia plugs but wanted to make sure that the crabgrass wouldn't hinder their growth. So I asked a rep at DoMyOwn for their recommendation on a post-emergent crabgrass killer that I could apply now that wouldn't hurt my new plugs and this was it. Read all the directions, followed them to a 't' and a few days later almost all of the crabgrass is dead. (Approx. 90%) All of the good fescue, new Zoysia etc... are doing great. Can't believe how easy it was. Thank you for the expert advice DoMyOwn! :)

    By Ryan on 09/11/2021

    Killed the crabgrass within days. Just be warned that if it's a thick batch it'll take a little bit to get the grass to grow back. Still have brown spot in the yard but my Bermuda is working it's way back through

    Good stuff

    By Lance on 09/17/2021

    This stuff really does an amazing job killing mature crabgrass in less than a week. Also does a really good job in killing dandelions and clover. Make sure to read all directions on bottle though in order to have great results.

    XLR8 Herbicide kit

    By Lee on 09/17/2021

    This kit worked exactly as advertised. Crabgrass was killing my lawn, and no matter what I used, the crabgrass kept growing. Then I called DoMyOwn and spoke to an agent. She told me just how good this was on post-emergent crabgrass. I followed the instructions and within 24 to 30 hours, I saw results. The crabgrass was turning yellow and eventually brown. It was dead. The more important thing was that it did not kill the grass, which is coming back. I used a 2-gallon pump sprayer which made it very easy to apply. Also, the blue indicator dye lets you see where you are spraying so that you don't over-lap (please wear rubber gloves when mixing in the blue dye. It can take a while to wash it off your hands, I know.) I have recommended this product to some family, friends, and neighbors who are having the same problem. This is a great product!

    Finally found something that works!!

    By Kathy on 10/05/2021

    This summer I applied several different products to kill the Goose Grass in my lawn but nothing worked. My neighbor gave me some of this herbicide and it worked like a charm. I am so very impressed and will definitely use it earlier next year.

    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

    By John on 10/29/2021

    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

    By Wendy/ on 03/08/2022

    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.

    Drive XLR8 did it in one application.

    By Ed on 07/02/2022

    This clover want-a-be known as Oxalis infested my yard last year and was taking over large swaths this year along with the dreaded crabgrass. That was until I treat my entire lawn with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Kit with Surfactant. I have 1.30 acers and used the entire bottle accord to the directions. If anything, it was some what diluted, as the entire bottle was only labeled to treat one acre. Nonetheless, I made with work for the entire plot. Very please with the application and results. Yard looks great and it has stopped the unwanted green monsters from attacking my lawn. This cost me half as much as it would have if I have used the Triple Action Weed n Feed with Crabgrass control granules.

    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.

    Excellent Results

    By Harvey on 08/18/2022

    Verified Purchase

    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.
