    Worked Great

    By Mbf1238 on 08/29/2017

    Read the other reviews online and it seemed this was the best option to defeat the crabgrass. I had tried several off the shelf crab grass killers to no avail. My yard was starting to get taken over. I followed the directions and I mixed with Southern Ag Surfactant. By the third day the yellowing was apparent. I am at day 6 now and I can tell it is dying. I just need to hit the spots I missed now.

    Best crabgrass killer I've ever used

    By Greg on 10/06/2017

    I put this on my lawn before leaving for a business trip. When I returned 3 days later, my crabgrass is dead or dying. This is the first product I've used with such great results. Application was very easy using my tow behind tank sprayer and instructions were easy to follow. I highly recommend this product.

    Works Perfect

    By Brad on 07/06/2018

    Just add MSO and it works perfectly. Used in my new Zoysia grass. I used the product 8 weeks after the sod was laid. I pulled the crabgrass (including the roots) multiple times. It kept coming back. It took two passes with this product to get everything. The Zoysia was slightly stressed but not harmed.

    Actually Works

    By Frank on 08/24/2018

    I have been using this on major sections of the lawn that are covered with crabgrass. I use it a day or two before forcasted rain, and it has been working perfectly. It kills the crabgrass and does not harm the turf grass. It takes 3-4 days to see results, and a few more days to completely kill the crabgrass. I have been using it with the DyneAmic surfacant. The combination has been very effective. I just have a 2 gallon tank sprayer (nothing fancy), and spray a section at a time.

    DRIVE xlr8

    By Dave on 09/29/2018

    Mixed 64 oz. per 55 gallons of water plus 75 oz. of 2 ,4,D killed basically all crabgrass and most chickweed and broadleaves. I used 3 55 gallons sprayers for right at 2 1/2 acres. Very satisfy with the results. I noticed a yellowing of the crab grass about 24 to 30 hours later completely dead on the fourth day. Would have already plugged and sown grass seeds and fertilizer but it started raining.

    Buffalo Grass

    By Laura on 05/24/2019

    Verified Purchase

    I am using Drive with surfactant to kill off a massive invasion of bindweed in my new buffalo grass lawn. It works great and does not harm the grass at all. One thing you need to get used to, is it does not show results for at least 6-7 days. Just follow the directions, as far as mixing rates, and it will work. My only complaint is it doesn't kill more varieties of weeds. This spring I'm going to add Ferti-lome Weed Free Zone to my mix and see if this gets most of the other weeds. I'm using a pump sprayer and spot treating. One other thing, DoMyOwn customer service is 5-star and they ship fast. Really love these guys.

    Goodbye crabgrass

    By Alan on 09/01/2019

    For years I've been trying to find a effective crabgrass killer and this is the product. Yard maintenance is something I take great pride in. I enjoy the finished product even more. If you have a crabgrass issue,get this product, follow the directions and see results within 48 hours. Total kill in 5-7 days. The large well established clumps may require spot treatment followup. To control weeds present you will need to add a weed control product available from this seller. I have ordered as late as 4 p and every order I have placed received same day shipping. I recommend Do My Own for products, price and service. Thanks.. Do My Own

    Very Effective

    By Steve on 09/04/2020

    Very selective and effective! Crabgrass had taken over but after treating it I'm left with the grass I want before I aerate and overseed. Tip: to Measure 3 oz for a 2 gallon spreader, I cut bottom 1/4 off from a 12oz can that worked well for me.

    Excellent product

    By Cal on 09/05/2020

    We had a heavy stand of crabgrass this year since i didn't apply a pre-emergent in the spring. Sprayed XLR8 (with Duo Stick Select) on Sunday evening and by Thursday the crabgrass was totally brown. No damage to the bluegrass/fescue lawn.

    DRive XLR8 worked well

    By William on 09/10/2020

    I applied Drive XLR8 in late July to my Western PA lawn that was overrun with crabgrass. I had tried other products from Tractor Supply and had zero results. I applied as directed on the container and repeated application in 14 days. I used a 3-point sprayer and used 64 oz. of Drive XLR8 and 40 gallon of water to treat 45,000 sq. ft. After first application crabgrass yellowed but did not completely die. After second application it died completely. Great product that I will buy again next year!

    Works great!

    By Clint on 09/25/2020

    Spot sprayed in my front yard where crab grass came up beside my sod, killed it all within a few days. Blanket sprayed in my back yard that I haven't renovated yet. The backyard mixture had 2-4D mixed in too. Pretty much everything died except my grass and some random goose grass. Excellent product that will stay in my yard maintenance arsenal.....highly recommend if you have crabgrass.

    DRIVE HERBICDE WORKS

    By Larry on 07/28/2014

    Recently used drive on my lawn, I had some new seeding that I did not use a premerge herbicide. Really nailed the crabgrass, also good activity on the broadleafs. Used crop oil as labeled and watered a few days later. We have been having good rains prior to application.

    Killed Clovers

    By Chuck on 07/08/2015

    I had a lot of clovers coming up and taking over the grass. Doesn't kill the things sprouting from acorns but those aren't as much of a pain to pull. A week later they were back, but it is easier to spot spray or pull some small ones than it is to pull 50 sq feet of clovers. I am in Maryland, used 4 oz per gallon in a backpack sprayer with 1oz per gallon of MSO added. I applied once and then 20 days later. For the second half of the yard I applied once then 18 days later. Grass only browned around where clovers were. A week after the first application there was some browning. A week after the second, clovers were gone.

    It works!

    By Mike on 08/15/2015

    Crabgrass was choking out my newly seeded yard. I mixed a half gallon of Drive xlr8 with 20 gallons of water and a pint of seed oil surfactant per acre and 3 days later the crabgrass started turning yellow. By the tenth day 90% of it was dead or dying. 3 weeks later some of the crabgrass is trying to rally but I'm sure a second application would cure that. And the rye, bluegrass and fescue was virtually unharmed and is now the dominant growth in the yard.

    Drive Kills Crabgrass RIGHT NOW!

    By Bernie on 08/16/2015

    This is, without any doubt, the best post-emergent crabgrass control I've ever used in my half-century-plus of lawn care. Sprayed from a trailer tank sprayer on my 1 acre lawn, and the extensive crabgrass was completely brown after 48 hours, and after one week, only a sporadic few plants remain. Combined with an early spring pre-emergent, I'm confident my crabgrass problems are over. I initially balked at the price (especially when combined with a surfectant), but the results were well worth the investment. Good product!

    Crabgrass control

    By Kevin on 08/24/2015

    This is the second year in a row I've used Drive xlr8. I use a pull behind sprayer, electric pump tsc 40 gallon. 60 0z of xlr8, pint of southern surfactant and it kills crabgrass. I have sandy soil and was infested. Next year I should be down to a pump sprayer.

    This is my second bottle and it is awesome!!!

    By John on 08/26/2015

    I followed the direction exactly. I even measure in 10' increment and used pesticide flags, electrical flag and gas flags to create 10' lanes in my yard so I would not get overspray on 1 acre of land . After about 3 days it started looking brown...I had lots of crabgrass that I thought was just natural lime color grass. The first round of attack I killed at least 85% but I could see 15 % trying to come back where maybe not enough spray hit it so I just did my second spraying (14 days later) and hopefully will be at a 100% kill rate this time. Will use this again...and I already see in the last few days old grass coming back.

    Really Good Stuff

    By Tim on 08/29/2015

    Did just what it was supposed to do. Killed the crabgrass and not the lawn. Just follow directions. Used 1.5 oz. to 1 Gal. of water in conjunction with a surfactant. Highly recommend!
