A true crab grass killer
By Frank on 08/03/2019
I had an explosion of crab grass last year and this year was no better! I tried other killers last year that really didn't do the trick. I tried XLR8 and couldn't be happier. It kills the crab grass quickly. In a week all the crab grass was yellow or brown. Next year I'll use it instead of the pre-emergence.
WORKS AFTER JUST ONE APP

Great Product
By Russell on 08/09/2019
I had a particular evasive traveling grass that I could not kill short of killing my whole lawn. This product worked great. Killed that weed grass, but saved my lawn. This particular grass was so tough that it went right through my landscaping cloth and over ran my flower beds. I now have my flower beds back. I would definitely recommend this product.
Works great on crabgrass

Makes you less crabby
By Rick on 08/17/2019
Ordered on a Saturday night, received on Tuesday afternoon. When you get service quickly from far away, it's always a beautiful thing. Follow the directions, the maker knows the best rate for sure kill(use a surfactant- it is important) . If a second app is needed, Follow the directions. Enjoy the rewards. After 3 days I was seeing results! I have 10k sq ft and used the 1.45 oz/per 1k rate. The first app eradicated 90% of my crabgrass. After waiting 14 days I made a second "spot spray" walk through and required only a half gallon mixed. Sure beats hand pulling doncha know. PreM is on my list of lawn care must haves. Pure neighborhood envy/domination is my lofty goal.
The best result !!

Great for crabgrass

IT WORKS
By Lindsey on 09/06/2019
Fantastic results!!! I had more dead crabgrass then you could shake a stick at. Highly recommend product estimate 95% kill rate. Used as prescribed in backpack sprayer over entire 1.5 acre yard. Took about 6 hours since I only fill to 2 gal. in 4 gal tank ( I'm no spring chicken any more). A few tanks were a mix with 2,4,d for other problem weeds.
Crabgraas Killer
By Edward on 09/10/2019
I recently noticed some significant infestation of crabgrass and other weeds appearing in my lawn. I immediately used a common weed and crabgrass killer hat is found in every hardware or big box store. After applying, to my frustration, the crabgrass infestation exploded. I immediately went on line and started to investigate other products to deal with this growing problem. Based on my investigation I selected "Drive XLR Herbicide Crabgrass killer" . I received my order within a few days and applied it using a backpack sprayer, following the instructions. Within a couple of days it was evident the product was working and within 10 days my lawn is crabgrass free. I had hoped it would also work on some of the other weeds that had appeared with the crabgrass, however despite the fact that not every weed was killed I am super pleased with the job that was done on the crabgrass. especially as it is one of the harder weeds to eradicate. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a crabgrass problem.
First time trying
By Andrew on 09/10/2019
I got tired of seeing crabgrass multiply over my newly replaced marathon sod so I decided to try something new. I did not see any improvement using off the shelf spray herbicide so I did some reading and came across Drive XLR. Not knowing the success rate and going off the reviews from this website, I decided to give it a try Labor Day. I followed the instructions down to a T (measure the lawn coverage, test out the amount of water spray and mixed with the XLR). Did not water or mow the lawn next two days per instruction. Day 3 I started to notice the disorientation in color where the crabgrass laid within my lawn. My guess is the herbicide is working as it should. I will wait within a week before spraying Sedgehammer to rid of the nutsedge growing. XLR has proven to work on my lawn without damaging other nursery plants.
Worked great

Excellent product
By Martin on 03/27/2020
I used this when crabgrass began to creep into my cool-season NJ lawn. One application at the lightest rate (0.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft.) caused the weeds to turn slightly white and die. The following season I applied Tenacity as a pre-emergent and had no issues. I'd highly recommend both products as well as DoMyOwn.com.
Not impressed

Nothing happened

Pricey experiment. Crabgrass didn't change. It's been around a month. I re-measured my lawn square footage to verify. I put down 1.5 oz per 1000 sq ft. I did just use baby shampoo as the surfactant. I'll try doubling the application rate.

Great stuff
By David on 05/29/2020
I applied it late last summer to mature grass, with excellent kill off. Early application this year has worked well, thus far. There are some late germinators that will be treated again in the near future. There may be mild discoloring of Bermuda, but no damage at all.
Drive XLR8 doesnt work
By Terry on 06/16/2020
This stuff is expensive junk. It JUST DOESNT WORK.It had no effect at all on my crabgrass. And yes, I used it with the expensive MSO (Dyne-amic). And by the way, if MSO is essential for Drive to work, why doesn't BASF put it right in the bottle, which is apparently what FMC does with Solitaire (which was equally disappointing). Fortunately, I bought a gallon of MSMA at my Ag supply store about 15 years ago, before it was taken off the market. Now that stuff works, even though it can be harsh on grass if you're not careful with it.
