Customer Reviews for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer

Good strong herbicide for Crabgrass elimination. It does take 5 to 7 dats to see the effect of green blades turning brown. Good choice for Crabgrass elimination.

Didnt realize how much crabgrass I really had in the yard until 3 days later when it was all brown! Worked quick and was exactly what I needed.

This stuff was incredible. Our yard became 95% crabgrass. Even the mature crabgrass died within less than 7 days of application. Our yard went from icky weeds to dried up dead crabgrass that we cut super low leaving almost all dust and dirt exposed. We then aerated and seeded using all DMO products. Our yard is so lush and green - it is turf quality. We love it. We do have some winter weeds that just popped up and took over so we are using tenacity this weekend. I heard it works great. So excited for how our yard will look in the spring. Going for best yard in the neighborhood!

I would buy this over and over again. I had a major issue with torpedo & crabgrass, after the first treatment 90% of my weed is gone. I may have to do another spot treatment for the remaining weed.

Wow!! I recently purchased a house and have been slowly reclaiming the yard from the wild. I used Scott's weed and feed to get rid of most of the misc. weeds and clover, only to have crabgrass start creeping in all summer long till almost half the yard had become infested with it. Planning for the future, I decided to plant some Zoysia plugs but wanted to make sure that the crabgrass wouldn't hinder their growth. So I asked a rep at DoMyOwn for their recommendation on a post-emergent crabgrass killer that I could apply now that wouldn't hurt my new plugs and this was it. Read all the directions, followed them to a 't' and a few days later almost all of the crabgrass is dead. (Approx. 90%) All of the good fescue, new Zoysia etc... are doing great. Can't believe how easy it was. Thank you for the expert advice DoMyOwn! :)

I read the label closer and saw that it will probably kill Centipede. Mainly use MSMA for maintenance..what are other people's experience with this product on centipedede. Trying to take out nutgrass, crabgrass and "wild" bermuda

Killed the crabgrass within days. Just be warned that if it's a thick batch it'll take a little bit to get the grass to grow back. Still have brown spot in the yard but my Bermuda is working it's way back through

This stuff really does an amazing job killing mature crabgrass in less than a week. Also does a really good job in killing dandelions and clover. Make sure to read all directions on bottle though in order to have great results.

I had high hopes for this stuff, just as I have had with previous expensive herbicides I've tried. First the good. My crabgrass is turning brown and I assume it will eventually die, although it's too early to say for certain. Another application may be necessary. The bad is that it has had zero effect on any other weeds in my yard. Both wild violet and ground ivy are thriving after treatment, which is unfortunate. I have spent hundreds of dollars on herbicides and followed the directions precisely. I have consistently been let down by these more expensive products that don't live up to their expectations. In my personal opinion, a cheap bottle if 2 4 D is the most cost effective solution for weed control that I have found thus far, but I will continue my quest. I do think I am done with the upper end products. They seem to be better at killing my wallet more than weeds.

Within 24 hours of application I was already seeing yellowing and within 5 days the crabgrass was brown and dead. This stuff works perfect.

As promised, killed crab grass and clover with one treatment! Would recommend over other brands, easy to follow instructions and to apply. So noticeable neighbors requested!

This summer I applied several different products to kill the Goose Grass in my lawn but nothing worked. My neighbor gave me some of this herbicide and it worked like a charm. I am so very impressed and will definitely use it earlier next year.

I was searching for a product that would help me take back control over my lawn from crabgrass. After neglecting my yard earlier in the year due to an excessive amount of rain and flooding, by late August my lawn was inundated with crabgrass. I ordered the kit and first followed the directions and mixed a 4 gallon amount in a backpack sprayer. I spot sprayed that amount around the perimeter of the house and waited about 5 days. The crabgrass was noticeably doing in 3-5 days. Once satisfied that the chemical had not harmed my Tall Fescue, I mixed a 20 gallon amount in a tow-behind pump operated aerator sprayer and covered about 2/3 of an acre. This product did exactly what it said it would. Kills crabgrass and doesn't harm Tall Fescue. Truly a satisfied customer.

Bought this mainly for torpedo grass but what it did to the crabgrass was amazing. No yellowing or browning of lawn and within 3 days the crabgrass was dead or dying. It also took out most of the torpedo grass but required a second application. I tried it on spurge which it is not listed for and it took that out also. I highly recommend using the bluing agent so you can see what you have done.

We have used this product previously and was completely satisfied with how it has taken care of the crab grass we have in the northern state, it is especially effective in the spring before the seeds have a chance to germinate. We also use it to spot kill when we get crab grass in August.

I tried to find a herbicide specifically designed to kill at Augustine in Bermuda. I couldn't find anything with that specific purpose. Turns out it's a happy side effect of using Drive XLR8.

Not a big savings but products are available. The ability to find the right product for the needs means something and the customer service is good.

After I sprayed the crabgrass started changing colors in a few weeks. This has been working really well

This clover want-a-be known as Oxalis infested my yard last year and was taking over large swaths this year along with the dreaded crabgrass. That was until I treat my entire lawn with Drive XLR8 Herbicide Kit with Surfactant. I have 1.30 acers and used the entire bottle accord to the directions. If anything, it was some what diluted, as the entire bottle was only labeled to treat one acre. Nonetheless, I made with work for the entire plot. Very please with the application and results. Yard looks great and it has stopped the unwanted green monsters from attacking my lawn. This cost me half as much as it would have if I have used the Triple Action Weed n Feed with Crabgrass control granules.

Lawn was seeded in early April with contractors mix. Used product with Duo Stick in July, crabgrass covered the entire yard, 20,000 sq ft. Product killed over 50% of crabgrass. Very pleased with results, but it probably would have worked better if I'd had better soil moisture.

I'm pleased with my order but the crabgrass is not. Drive XLR8 is a great herbicide for crabgrass.

I applied Drive XLR8 to my yard with Prime Source Duo Stick Select when no rain was forecast for several days. After about five hours after application, we had an unexpected popup rain shower. I was afraid the rain had washed it all away. Within a few days, all of the crabgrass and clover throughout the yard turned yellow and died. I previously tried the stuff from the big box stores that was supposed to kill crabgrass, but it was ineffective. Drive XLR8 was money well spent.

Use at the higher rate . I will apply a pre emergent in the spring. That is the best way for total control.

I went entirely by the instructions and this product didn't work on crabgrass or anything else.
