By Phil in charlotte,nc on 04/14/2012
It's been 2 weeks since I sprayed my lawn and the weeds are not dying as I expected. I thought that I would see the weeds wither more quickly. Maybe its a slow release formula. I thinking of doing oth…

Speed Zone
By Bob in Mason, Ohio 45040 on 07/21/2014
Only 50% effective on the clover and less on on dandelions & etc. Not very satisfied at all!!
Expert response:
We are sorry that you are unhappy with your purchase. Many post-emergent herbicides will require a second treatment, especially in the summer months when weeds may not be actively growing. Per the product label: "Spray when broadleaf weeds are young and actively growing for best results. Speed-Zone Lawn Weed Killer may be applied in the spring, summer, or fall. Spring and fall treatments under adequate soil moisture conditions are preferred to the summer treatments. Broadcast (entire areas) applications or follow-up applications at 2-6 week intervals are recommended for more mature weeds, for dense infestations, and for adverse environmental conditions. Spot treatments during the summer may be appropriate for sparse infestations, or as a follow-up treatment, or any time broadleaf weeds are susceptible." Please let us know if you have further questions by calling us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-6p EST.

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. We appreciate your business! https://www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-virginia-buttonweed-a-812.html
Lacks Longevity
By Scott in Atlanta GA on 09/10/2012
Purchase product hoping to keep weeds away longer than a few weeks. Have to re-apply every two to three weeks to keep them away. Not exactly how it was presented to me.
Wild Violets
By Jerry in Binghamton, NY on 08/16/2015
I have given a 3 star rating to Speedzone because I'm still in the process of attacking this tenacious weed. I tried SZ in the summer and it only wilted the weed but killed very few. I have read th…

Not much better than box store brands
By Hugh in Shepherdsville, Kentucky on 07/03/2020
I bought the speed zone product to kill clover and other pesty weeds. Didn't seem to work much better than box store brands. Probably won't pay the extra money for this product again.
Speed zone
By Eddie in Lawrence, MA on 07/10/2020
I have applied it twice to all the weeds (crab grass) for the most part, some were killed some weren't. Which led me to re apply for the 3rd time....never got the results what I expected.

It works
By Jim in Saugus, CA on 10/01/2018
I've used all sorts of big-box store weed killers, with no apparent benefit other than some outdoor exercise. So little effect that I actually gave up on them for years. Until this year, when I didn't…

Speedzone mix with Tenaciy
By Craig in LI NYC on 06/19/2020
After one day blanket spray I see the clover dying. But it didnt kill all the clovers. Have to back in 2 week to spot spray the one I miss. It did kill 80% of my clovers in my lawn.
Works on MOST broadleaf weeds.
By Samson in VA on 10/02/2020
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…

I have tried just about everything to knock out Creeping Charlie in my lawn. Speedzone did it with ease. The results were noticed within days of the first application. It is an amazing product.
SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Kills Lespedeza

This is the best I have found to kill this stuff without killing my zoysia grass. After 2 weeks I was able to put new grass seed down. Works much faster then other products.
