Killed my crabgrass but not my fescue.

Excellent product

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.
Great stuff

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.

Annihilating our Torpedo
By Heather on 06/19/2020
This stuff has been destroying our torpedo grass infestation, what a god-send!!! We have done 3 treatments on our Emerald Zoysia (my husband made it a bit stronger that the instructions) and we love it. Even with 50% stronger it isn't killing the grass. We finally got quack grass out of our beds, now time to get this out of our grass!!!
worked reasonably well

I used Drive XLR8 (with recommended surfactant) as a spot treatment on crabgrass. The lawn itself was 1-2 months old blackjack bermuda (i.e. seeded). The Drive had little to no harmful affect on the bermuda. I'm opting to do touchup spot treatments every 2 weeks for a couple more treatments. reason is two-fold: instructions admit that crabgrass w/ 2-4 tillers may need extra treatment. Also, when doing spot treatments, I miss some of the crabgrass plants. The good news is that after 2 weeks it is obvious which crabgrass weeds are dying and which are not. I'd estimate I initially had a few thousand crab grass plants; at least half of those are dead after my 2nd treatment. The plan is to knock the crabgrass back some more and let the bermuda stolons do their thing. Next year I'll use pre-emergent and hopefully have minimal crab grass to control. Obviously I couldn't use pre-emergent when seeding a lawn. Though the lawn is probably only 15% crabgrass with rest being bermuda, I'll admit treating entire lawn instead of spot treating likely made more sense. Spot treatment is just more my thing.
works great

It works

For years I have been frustrated by crabgrass invading my lawn and not having anything to spray on it to kill it. When I heard about this product I finally decided to gamble the 60+ dollars to see if it would work. Well, it really worked. It is the only chemical that gets rid of mature crabgrass. And, the neatest thing about killing crabgrass is that crabgrass is an annual. If you kill it this year, it will not return next year (unless new seeds have been dropped). 460+
Excellent Product - Finally After All These Years
By Mark on 07/25/2020
I've been fighting crabgrass in Greenville, SC for as long as I've owned a house (almost 30 years).. Over the years, I've tried all sorts of crabgrass weed killers - often at the expense of damaging my lawn. Finally I found Drive XLR8 and thought I would give it a try, or rather invest in it. XLR8 is an amazing product. I used 2oz per gallon as well as 1oz (or maybe it was 0.5oz) of their mineral oil surfactant (M.O.S) in a one gallon garden pump sprayer. I had a large area to spray and I used a broadcast spraying method. After a week, nearly all the crabgrass was dead - but my tall fescue (Kentucky 31) was just fine. I went back with a second spot treatment application on a few of the crabgrass weeds I missed. So no more back breaking from pulling crabgrass for me - or lawn damage from RoudUp. Follow the directions on the bottle which I think maybe a little conservative. This stuff works great as advertised. Excellent product indeed. PS: Once dead, the treated crabgrass seems to just dissolve..
Good Stuff

It works great!

This stuff works so well you MUST follow label for rate of application. I will admit to being one of those guys that will add an extra couple ounces per gallon to assure kill. Not with this stuff...it doesn't take much. I also love that it kills broad leafs as well...so when spraying crabgrass and you see that occasional dandelion you can hit it.

Crab grass

Works incredibly well! I'm a happy customer!

I had a major crab grass infestation in my front yard. I mixed the Drive XLR8 herbicide with water & a non-ionic surfactant as per the directions. Within 4 days the crab grass was completely dead & brown. The mixture did not affect any of my rye & fescue grass so now I'm ready to re-seed with healthy grass to replace the dead crab grass. I am happy with this product and will use it again, if necessary.
CrabGrass beware I got ammunition
By Dale on 08/26/2020
Followed label 3 table spoons per gallon to spot spray and used Non-ionic surfactant instead of recommended DyneAmic Surfactant and I didnt mow a few days before or after application and crabgrass was completly dead in a 7-8 days im not talking yellow but full on brown DEAD . My lawn is ryegrass and didnt effect it in anyway . With this in my lawn arsenal I can now worry about other things than how am I gonna kill this CrabGrass.

PERFECTION
By Diane on 10/29/2020
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!
great product

Crabgrass Killer #1
By Joshua on 09/10/2021
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! :)
