Customer Reviews for SpeedZone Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf - Gallon

I've been using SpeedZone commercially for 4 years now, on about 190K sq. feet of 'high impact' grass areas. It's the best product for Dandelions, which has been a hard one to beat. I like to use it in conjunction with a liquid fertilizer. This helps SZ to work faster for me. Dandelions propagate so quickly, the product needs to work as fast as possible. SZ is not the best choice for thistle, but any other cheaper herbicide with 2,4-D will handle that.  SZ keeps your tank and pump clean, which many others do not. Lastly, I've cut back my use of SZ this year because of its cost. I've tried diluting a little, but then it doesn't work. I would use it more, if it cost less.

I waited a little too long (May 20) to try to kill the wild violet in my yard with Speed Zone. One treatment killed about half of it and very fast. Temps are above 90 now so I guess I'll try again in the fall or spring so I don't injure the grass. Be very careful if you have a vegetable garden though. I sprayed in what I thought was calm conditions and it managed to drift enough to cause injury in my garden. Next time I'm putting a tarp barrier up.

Late April 2012 I planted a new lawn by seed--approximately 3/4 acre, consisting of a mixuture of cool and warm season grasses. The imported top soil was unfortunatly loaded with weed seed which came up along with the new grass. The weeds were dominated by Virginia Knotweed, which at 6 weeks were ~12" inches in height and beginning to form seed heads. Using a 1:1 mix (oz Speed Zone to gallon water), due to the new grass being ~6 weeks mature, Speed Zone killed the knotweed and did not harm the tall fescue/little bluestem mix. Weeds wilted within 24 hrs and were mowed 7 days after application--the first cutting for the new grass. There are a few nut grass still in the seeded area not killed by Speed Zone, but these are small enough instances to be pulled. Speed Zone was very effective at controlling post emergent weeds in a stand of newly planted grass seed. I plan to extend it's use to my established lawn--spot treating small areas of white clover and oxalis (woodsorrel).

SZ works great on Chickweed, Henbit and Dandalions. It did not get my clover and it does not work on crab grass. It does work well in the cool Springtime and even if it rains the next day. The note said rainproof in 4 hours.

Not withstanding use restrictions, this stuff does the job! It took care of problems that Ortho wouldn't and more! You still have to pull the dead material so the lawn isn't full of dead weeds though.  I recommend this for serious, no kidding around post-emergent turf weed control!

I am a commercial user and this stuff is great. Saw results fast. It's expensive but the response you get from your customers is worth it. Premium products premium results.

Using a Chapin battery-powerd backpack sprayer, I spot sprayed 2 1/2 acres with SpeedZone mixed with High-Yield Spreader Sticker and my dandelions and thistles are deader than a doornail. Spray two or more days after you mow and a couple days before you mow again (with temps in the 50's to a high of 80) and every single weed you spray will die and not come back. Bye bye $548 a year professional weed man.

We were very satisfied with the applications of SpeedZone Red we made to our athletic fields this fall in NorthCentral, PA. SpeedZone is what it is cracked up to be. We had a much faster burn down time (as mentioned) than with our usual applications and gained control over several tough weeds. Ground Ivy, Dandelion, broadleaf plantain, buckhorn plantain, and white clover were knocked out quickly. We have not noticed any yellowing in our KBG or PR although we gained control with less than the full application rate. Calibration of equipment is essential. We chose speedzone due to the fact that it has a faster suggested over-seeding window, which is essential to the finalize our fall maintenace program.

Works good on broad leaf weeds. A gallon will last the average homeowner at least a couple of years because it mixes at 1 - 1.5 oz per gallon.

This product kills a wide variety of broadleaf weeds, especially some that other sprays don't work very well on. Works best when temperature is below 90 degrees and is effective during cooler temperatures (above 50 degrees).

has knocked down most of the targeted weeds have applied twice as directed but weeds are coming back. I bought this to try and kill wild violet but it has not done a good job. Have to give it at least 2 stars because directions did say very difficult to control in the warmest months,will give you more update come September! if this doesn't work i will try T-Zone

Love SpeedZone and when you're trying to get on top of the weeds that got let go for multiple properties, this is the 'go to' stuff. Since it's the same stuff in bigger packaging, you get that savings up front!

Good product for problem areas. Controls broadleaf weeds in my lawn better than anything I've used in the past. Not the cheapest stuff out there, but, it is well worth the cost. I just need to get on a two application regiment for my lawn.

I have used Speed Zone lawn weed killer before and was impressed with the results. Speed Zone Red is the same stuff just in a larger container. Works well on everything in my yard including "creeping charlie". I have since shared some of my SZ Red with a friend and she is impressed with the results as well.

I mainly had some white clover, chickweed, and wild onion that I was trying to get rid of. Just to give it that extra boost I mixed it with the Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides as directed, marked off 1,ooo sq. ft. sections of the yard and mixed 1.1 oz. & 1 teaspoon of the Surfactant. After the 1st section I knew how fast I had to go and how much to spray. Ended up spraying the whole yard to get rid of other unwanted weeds. After I sprayed I went back approx. 4 hours later & I could see the white clover starting to curl. One week later I can see everything that SZ has eliminated. Thanks DMOPC.

Called your contact number as was unsure of which products to use. The property had not been treated in 2-3 years; more dandelions & weeds than grass. Speed-Zone Red was one of two products recommended. I sprayed 1.5 acres, within 2 days could see the results, the weeds were withering. Within a week 90-95% of the dandelions were GONE. I went with the minimum strength on the recommended dosage. I will re-apply next week (no rain forecast). Very pleased.

Great herbicide. Works fast. Doesn't take much to make four gallons for sprayer.

My yard in N CO had become infested with "bindweed" - a crawling vine type with cute little flowers when in bloom. The roots go down some 20 feet, new sprouts generate from those subterranean roots. Nothing would kill them. RoundUp worked a bit - at the cost of the surrounding lawn. On local recommendation, I tried SpeedZone, using a Gilmour adjustable hose-end sprayer, it worked! A dial setting of 2 worked, but used 3 this year and it was superb. Until the lawn fills-in where insects and bindweed had destroyed it, I will need repeat applications. Still this the best! And lawn is not hurt by it.

Well it's been about 24 days I think since I used this. It definitely does a job on dandolines, chick weed, and the best is the obliteration of creeping charlie. Not much effect so far on crab grasses. Also seeing the killing of some clover. Where patches of weeds were heavy there was no grass so had to throw down some seed but expected that. Plan to spot treat for some things later. Overall not bad just which it zapped more stuff.

Great at killing broadleaf weeds. Easy to mix. Customer service is the best, hardly any wait time.

Domyown makes it easy to buy, Speedzone makes it easy to kill broadleaf weeds. WIN-WIN

Allan Hayne (lawn care nut) recommended this for most lawns. It's reasonably priced and works very well on my cool season turf type tall fescue. It's my go to selective herbicide for all the unwanted weeds. Doesn't harm my existing fescue at all.
