Customer Reviews for The Anderson's 0.48 Barricade Herbicide

Let me start this by saying I hired a lawn company to take care of my yard last year. I bought a 6 application package that was slightly over 425 bucks. Anyway they leave a detailed note on what they do each time. They first application they did last year was pre-emergent followed by 5 applications of basically just fertilizer. So by August my yard was full of weeds and I felt like I got ripped off and could do a better job myself. I researched everything and decided to go with this barricade as my first application of the year. I ordered this and just applied it yesterday as we seem to be having a early spring. I have a earthway spreader and used 12 as my setting. I will update this in a few months to give you a good idea how well this worked and my total spent. I'm at 78 bucks right now

I bought a 50lb bag of this to use on cool season, mixed species turf. My lawn is mostly tall fescue, with perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass. I applied this at the bag recommended rate in April and have had absolute NO crabgrass in my front yard. I reapplied in mid-June and still have no crabgrass or other broadleaf weeds. I have a pinch of clover here and some nutsedge there, but I spot treat those with mesotrione. Suffice to say the turf is 98% weed free without any crabgrass at all. Combined with an aggressive disease treatment and a hybrid fertilization plan (biosolid fertilizer, humic acid, micro nutrient and liquid spray), we have the best lawn on the entire block.

I've been so impressed with DO MY OWN I decided to join the subscription service. The first package that arrived consisted of Barricade pre-emergent. I know Barricade has a superior reputation and is used by many professional landscapers throughout my area. The package came complete with directions for use, rubber gloves, and more. So - so far so good!

I follow Randy Lemon's program for our Bermuda grass here in Georgetown, TX and he recommends the Andersons 0.48% Barricade as Preventive weed control. I use it three times per year as recommended and it does a very good job. I love the Do my Own store as they offer many more products that our local Lowes or Home Depot and their pricing is great. Fast service and when you call in you can talk to an associate about your problems. Thanks!

Barricade is a fine product and works as advertised. The DGpro formulation is an easy product to apply.

This is a fabulous pre-emergent herbicide. Do not be impatient looking for results. It comes!!! I even put in on my daughters yard which was 10x worse than mine, within 3 weeks, weeds are dying off and we see the grass thriving again. It had been literally chocked out by weeds. It is best if used early in season!!!

I get this specifically to combat Japanese Stilt Grass (a bamboo) in my lawn on the recommendation of the Maryland Agriculture Extension Service. I don't use any other chemicals on my lawn, we pull weeds. I apply it a bit later than other pre-emergent herbicides, late-March in central Maryland. It really helps with this non-native scourge. Thank you, DoMyOwn, for making it available, since I could not find it in local stores.

Applied this as temps started to warm up and I saw some weed growth which was slightly too late but since applying I haven't seen any new weeds in my fescue.

I was using a lawn care service for years. I continue to have tons of crab grass. I canceled the service bought this product and it has done a better job than my years of lawn care service. Instead of paying almost $700 a year I am now paying about $150 and doing it myself.

Fair price, Quick free shipping, received within 3 days to Chicago south sub. Used setting at 5 for Scotts DLX rotary spreader and the 50lb bag was just ok for my 8000 sq ft yard. Been using for 3 seasons now and seems ok for both winter and spring weeds when applied in end Oct and early April. Combine same times with aplication of Flagship fertiilizer at setting of 5.25 on DLX rotary spreader. Will continue to buy.

It is still early in the application, but so far so good with the application of the Barricade. I followed the directions and it was easy to apply with a broadcast spreader. I'll provide an update in the summer as hopefully this product works with preventing crabgrass in my fescue yard.

Great product and a good price. I use this on our Bermuda lawn here in Tennessee in the spring and fall and it takes care of 95% of the weeds

Excellent product easy to spread. Make sure you are using the correct settings on your spreader and read the instructions carefully. I have very few weeds in the areas of my lawn I treated with this product.

We have a couple of acres of gravel ground cover with dozens upon dozens of plants, bushes and trees, and weeds used to be a huge problem before I started using Barricade. Before Barricade, I had to spray for weeds weekly because the other preemergents didn't do the job. Now, I apply Barricade once a year, water it in really good, and no weeds. It really saves me a lot of time and money.

Because this is granular it is an easy way to apply prodiamine to the lawn. I will now use it in the landscape.

I have ordered Barricade Herbicide twice as I prefer a granular herbicide as opposed to a liquid and I have found it to be effective and a decent value. Price was a big factor in my decision to purchase but I have found it to be as effective as some of the more pricy granular pre-emergent herbicides. It short, I found it to be a good value.

I just put the herbicide down 2 days ago so it's a little too soon to determine the results, however, I've had very good luck with all of the products that I purchased from you and the service has always been great.

This is the first time I amusing this Barricade. I may have waited too long this spring or catched it just in time. Once ground temp hits 56 it may be too late. So far about two weeks in all looks good. I applied this and Scotts Turf Builder. With rain here in PA the grass looks great. I do not see Crabgrass and just a few weeds The price shipped to me was fair and will consider buying from them again

If you get this on at the right time you’ll get great results. Our backyard backs up to our orchard. So many weeds in the orchard and the seed blow into our yard especially at harvest time. This product has been a back saver. Some weeds were already growing when we applied it but we’ve had so few weeds to dig up I’m sure they were the one’s that got a head start on us. Lawn looks great and my back is doing well. Will keep using this product, it works like no other I’ve tried.

So far I can’t comment on the product itself but the shipping from DMO was lightning fast. I think it was two days from order to delivery.

Have not applied the product yet but it will be perfect the area I plan to treat. Treats most of the weeds that I normally have on an annual basis.

Product selection and pricing have always been great. In this age of automated everything, it is comforting to know that I can always reach a helpful real person. Courteous, helpful, and professional customer service are alive and well at DoMyOwn.

Seems what is easily available in the stores is either not immediately available or only treats a limited number of weeds. Ended up at DoMyOwn and saw this. Price didn’t seem too bad, considering shipping was included and one bag would take care of the yard, so I got a bag. Arrived when expected and packaged well. Particle size is nice, consistent and small so it is more evenly distributed. Too early to tell haw well it will work, but the label says it’ll take care of a lot of stuff I have been putting up with. Kind of surprised dandelions weren’t on the bye-bye list, we’ll see what happens.
