Customer Reviews for SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate

I bought it based on the raving reviews and the recommendation from the agent. I tried like 4 times so far but it couldn't kill the clover. But it killed the grass. Similar experience with other products on this site. Ortho products at Lowes worked much better

This is the second time I have used this on my lawn. Upfront, why I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't completely kill some types of broadleaf despite what the label says. It does however does a fantastic job otherwise. I followed the instructions per label and went to war with a lawn that was completely neglected for a few years. Pros: 1. Doesn't harm cool season grass. I have tall fescue. 2. Completely Killed white clover, henbits, spotted spurge, Japanese clover, and dandelion. You notice patches of dark brown in your lawn after it has done its job. 3. Small dose. A bottle will last several applications for a half an acre lot of lawn. Cons: 1. Only killed about half of Indian mock strawberries, plantains, wild garlic, and some sort of ivy that I cant identify. 2. Slow. This thing works overtime and you must give it 14 days to do its thing. It killed some species of weed within a few days but on some it took 10 days or so to kill them off. Helpful notes: things to consider. Check forecast and apply a few days before rain, it works better when it is warm (at least 75 or above) for 3 consecutive days.

I have used Speed Zone only once on winter weeds, and it appears to work well. The weather was very cool.

It worked ok on some weeds by killing them quickly but others showed no sign of damage after spraying them, except for the grass which got killed. I only spot treated a couple areas to see if it would in fact kill the grass and unfortunately a couple spots did die off. Maybe a went a little heavy in those spots but i really tried to apply it evenly.

The speedzone product work surprisingly fast. I sprayed one morning and saw results by the next day on broad leaf weeds. Instructions and application were simple. Definitely a product I will keep around.

Bought this specifically for Virginia Buttonweed (as listed in the specimen label). Applied spot treatments as directed but absolutely no success. It didn't even suppress the Virginia Buttonweed. Not so much worried about the money, but wasted my time and efforts. Cheaper options for common broadleaf control, hence the 1 star rating.

  Expert response:
Thank you for taking the time to review this product. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the performance of this product. Please keep in mind that when treating for Virginia Buttonweed, selective post-emergent herbicides should be applied in April or May at the latest, when the weed first appears in your lawn and is young and tender in it's earliest stage of growth. In the mid-summer months, when the weeds are fully established and strong, you will need multiple applications to have any effect whatsoever on this difficult to control weed, regardless of the product you are using. You may also want to refer to our Virginia Buttonweed Treatment Guide linked below for more detailed information on controlling this weed.

I got it for dandelions and it hands down takes care of what is visible in my lawn, but within a few days there are more dandelions sprouting up. Could just be that my neighbors are also infested with them, and don't seem to attempt to control them. I just applied a second spot spraying and it seems to do the job every time. Doesn't seem to work too well on clover. I did mix with a Horticultural Spray Oil as a sticker, but the clover hasn't died off yet after the second spraying. If the clover was as dead as the dandelions there would have been another star.

This stuff REALLY works, I found its best when spraying the whole yard to use half of the recommend amount on your yard. It will turn some of the Bermuda grass a little yellow. After it rains a couple of time the grass will tun back to normal.

I have used this for about 10 years. I started using it when my lawn was new with no danger to my grass.The popular brands don't work nearly as well.I highly recommend it to anyone.

Give this about 2 weeks to do a thorough kill on "stubborn" weeds. Use as directed. No need to strengthen mixture_

My lawn had weeds. I tried weed B Gon and that did not work. When I used the speed my weeds were dead fast

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

I had two major problems, one was a vine with a yellow flower, the other was plantain. The day after the application the plantain was noticeably affected, and after a week, wilted and dry. The vine has turned from bright green to a reddish color. I believe it is dying but not as quickly as the plantain. It may require another app.

Called DoMy Own and they suggested Speed Zone for extra tough weeds. Sprayed about two weeks ago and it did a good job but will hit the bineweed again in the future.

It did exactly what I wanted to get rid of clover!

The SpeedZone weed killer worked really well on my lawn. I had the usual spring weeds popping up but also had quite a bit of thistle and some other weed I had never seen. This stuff killed all of it and worked wonders on the thistle. Took a couple of days to start seeing results. After about a week almost all weeds were dead. Definitely recommend this one.

Finally, something that kills burrweed in its tracks. Fast acting herbicide. I've tried everything, but nothing killed burrweed except Speedzone. Fast shipping, reasonably priced at DoMyOwn. If you have burrweed overtaking your lawn, don't waste your money on anything else.

This stuff kills weeds quickly, especially dreaded poison ivy! Don't hesitate to purchase. DoMyOwn is the best, super fast shipping!

Excellent herbicide and cost effective. Good coverage and efficiency. Did a better job on creeping Charlie and clover than another more expensive herbicide I have frequently used. Mix a small amount of non ionic surfactant to increase effectiveness but just a drop or two per 1000 sq ft application. Don't use surfactant on days above 80 F and use the lowest application rate when temps are above 80 F

Very good product. Kills weeds perfectly. Would highly recommend it.

Was this review helpful to you?  YesNo

This product is absolutely amazing! I sprayed my lawn with Speedzone and the weeds (clover and dandelions) were shriveled up and purple in around 5 hours. I have tried other concentrates and they did not have the best results. This is now my go-to cool temp weed control! Highly recommend to anybody having troubles with killing weeds.

I used Speed Zone on what I thought was Virginia Buttonweed. The weed turned off color for a few days but came right back. I tried 4 Speed XT first with the same results. Currently I am three days into a Tenacity treatment. I am not sure the weed is Virginia Buttonweed. I may have misidentified the weed, so I really can't fault the Speed Zone.
