over priced roundup
By Ken in LAKE MARY, FL on 09/05/2011
I learned the hard way, tried to spray this on crabgrass in a st. Augustine lawn and works like roundup, killed everything it touched. Please bring back asulox somebody...
Expert response:
This product specifically says to not apply to St. Augustine grass, which is why it killed it. St. Augustine cannot handle a product like Drive XLR8.
Excellent stuff

In the past I had a lawn control company and have more crabgrass now than ever it seems like. I could have called and they would send someone out to kill everything but I don't like that so I let the …

Easy to remember, a neighbor told me about it. The mixing instructions were easy enough to follow and one has to know what application he is making. The sprayer I am using mixed it automatically once …

By Anonymous in Middletown, DE on 08/27/2013
Over many years, my 1 acre of turf has been invaded by a number of weedy grasses. The most annoying and hard to control for me has always been crabgrass. I'm talking big areas of nothing but crab inva…

Not Impressed
By Matt in Pueblo, cO on 07/11/2011
For the cost and effectiveness, I would not buy this product again. Using the recommended doage, the herbicide only stunted the growth of some weeds, and even killed some of the grass. Most of the wee…

By John in Tazewell, VA on 09/25/2013

excellent product
By Tom in Edmond, Oklahoma on 04/21/2014
The product is excellent. Did a great job killing crab grass. what was difficult was getting a "reasonable" explanation on what the mixture should be. At least a recommended mixture per gallon of mix.
XLR8 works GREAT
By Will in Peabody MA on 09/13/2014
I mixed per the instructions (1-1/2 oz per gallon for my use), sprayed an area, and one week later - amazing. MUCH better than anything you can buy "over the counter".
Excellent Product
By Anonymous in Arlington, TX on 08/27/2013
I used this in late August in the northeast Texas region to control crabgrass in a Bermuda lawn. Within 24 hours, 1/3 of the treated crabgrass was clearly dying. Since it says it can take a week to wo…

Good Product
By Mike in Woodruff, SC on 06/25/2014
Good product, did what it said it would do, killed the crab grass and not my Zoysia grass. Good customer service, fast derlivery.
Don't bother. Drive is out of gas!
By Randall on 05/24/2012
I won't even give this stuff one (1) star. Not even half a star. I take pride in my yard but battle crab grass and other weeds because my neighbors don't take care of their yards, let that stuff grow,…

Does what is says
By Anonymous in chesterfield, va on 08/08/2013
Followed the instructions and all effected crabgrass has died and didn't adversely effect my lawn. Not Cheap but extremely effective in doing what it says it can do.
Excellent.
By Mike in Massachussettes on 07/27/2011

This product seems to be much better in killing Crab Grass than any other I have tried. This would not be my first choice on St Augustine. On Zoysia it's great. The Zoysia is very tolerant of the Driv…
