Ultimate crabgrass killer
By Mike on 08/26/2022
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.

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.

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!

XLR8 kills crabgrass and Japanese clover
By Tom on 09/16/2022
Used the XLR8 on 3 acres of grass. It was being taken over by crabgrass and Japanese clover. We thought we were going to have to kill it all and reseed all 3 acres. The XLR8 did its job and now we are just over seeding the existing grass.

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.
We would welcome the opportunity to troubleshoot the application to help get you the results you need. Please contact us at your earliest convenience!

Use minimum mix rate
By Brandon on 11/14/2022
Immediately fried my crabgrass along with a few other miscellaneous weeds with one application in July. Slightly, and I mean Slightly, discolored the bermudagrass which bounced back in a week. Don't apply in super hot weather unless you're watering regularly or you will fry your bermuda. Best crabgrass killer on the market in my opinion. Good luck!!

Kills Bermuda grass
By Kenneth on 04/19/2023
Product states that it can be used on bermuda grasses but unfortunately it's starting to kill my grass but not doing anything to the crabgrass and weeds. I should have known better when it killed my tall fescue as well. I thought maybe I did something wrong, but seeing as how it's doing the same on my bermuda, I'm pretty sure it's this product. Sad, because my yard is so green with multiple patches of dying yellow and brown.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. The label does state that Yellow that occurs on bermuda can be reduced by the addition of chelated iron or sprayable soluble nitrogen fertilizer. You also want to avoid applications during spring green up of bermuda as this is when it is most sensitive.
We would welcome the opportunity to troubleshoot the application to help get you the results you need.

Kills your grass
By Kenneth on 04/24/2023
Verified Purchase
Be careful, this stuff will kill your grass. Said it's safe for bermudagrass, but it's actually killing off my grass and not the crabgrass or other targeted weeds. I wanted this product to work as I tried it on 2 different types of grasses and didn't work on either. Very disappointed with this product. Buyer beware
Expert response:
Drive is labeled safe for bermudagrass when used as directed. The label does state: Yellowing that occurs on bermuda can be reduced by the addition of chelated iron or sprayable soluble nitrogen fertilizer. When treating in the spring, you should avoid any applications during spring green up when the lawn is coming out of dormancy as this is the most sensitive time for bermuda and it could be injured.

Didn't work for me
By John on 04/28/2023
First, the instructions give you application rates per 1,000 square feet. I'm doing spot spraying and I need to know ounces per gallon in the sprayer. I guessed to the high side, and hit some large plants. Virtually no impact.
Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. Drive works best on young newly emerged weeds, more mature weeds may require repeat application. Drive also requires the use of an MSO surfactant for best results. We would welcome the opportunity to troubleshoot the application to help get you the results you need. Please contact us at your earliest convenience!

Crabgrass
By Steve on 04/29/2023
The Weeds Seem To Love This
By Mike on 04/30/2023
Had high hopes from other reviewers that this product would take care of at least some of our weed problems caused by an over abundance (of needed) rain. I paid extra for the kit which included the herbicide, surfactant and indicator die as recommended. Made sure to use the proper amount of each product according to their directions, but the only result after more than two weeks was healthy weeds. The Fox-tails and Johnson Grass are still doing well. So.... I recommend that you save your money and buy something else!
Expert response:
Drive XLR8 can take up to 3-6 weeks to see full results on targeted weeds and a second application may be needed for more established weeds. Keep in mind, for best results, applications should be applied to listed weeds when they are young and actively growing and temperatures are between 65-85 degrees.

Crab Grass
By M on 06/02/2023
This product was compared with another product I have for crab grass on two different sides of my yard, after the first application of both products 29 days later you could see the drive XLR8 side didn't need a 2nd application but the other side of the yard needed a 2nd dose.

Best ever post crabgrass control
By Chris on 06/09/2023
This is the best post-emergence crabgrass and nutsedge compound I have ever used. It might take a couple of applications to completely eliminate but with one of DoMyOwn's good pre-emergence materials applied in the fall, this is truly a (grass/sedge) killer of a program.

Killed My Crabgrass Quick
By Doug on 09/15/2023
XLR8 is not my go to for killing crabgrass. I was using Tenacity which also works well but turns the crabgrass white and takes a while to kill them off. The white doesn't look great in the yard. XLR8 works faster and turns the crabgrass a dark green/brownish color that doesn't stand out badly, but they die off quickly and just go away and isn't noticeable like when using Tenacity. I have cool season grasses and it didn't harm them at all. This is my new go-to.

Drive Crabgrass Killer
By Clay on 11/03/2023
Excellent at bindweed control
By Austin on 06/28/2024
This stuff works.
By Dave on 07/12/2024
Absolutely blown away by XLR8's effectiveness.
By Tom on 07/12/2024
I missed "pre-emergent" application window due to travels. Once the crabgrass started to sprout I ordered 1 gallon for my 2 acres of lawn along with some duo stick surfactant. Following the directions using a boom sprayer with my lawn tractor I applied on a Saturday. By Monday I could see the crabgrass was definitely hurting. By Wednesday the crabgrass was drastically brown. I'm estimating 95% crabgrass kill and most was with at least 4, if not 5 tillers of growth. As a bonus the infestation of white clover is showing stress but is slower to assure it's been eradicated. As needed this will be a go to purchase item.
