Crab Grass
By M on 06/02/2023
This product was compared with another product I have for crab grass on two different sides of my yard, after the first application of both products 29 days later you could see the drive XLR8 side didn't need a 2nd application but the other side of the yard needed a 2nd dose.

Best ever post crabgrass control
By Chris on 06/09/2023
This is the best post-emergence crabgrass and nutsedge compound I have ever used. It might take a couple of applications to completely eliminate but with one of DoMyOwn's good pre-emergence materials applied in the fall, this is truly a (grass/sedge) killer of a program.

Joe's Oklahoma Crabgrass
By Joe on 07/09/2023
I bought this because my son in law recommended it. Put it down over a week ago and it seems like some of the crabgrass is turning yellow and some red. A lot has not been affected as of now. I mixed them correctly and it looks like I am going to have to reapply. I will update if I can remember.

Killed My Crabgrass Quick
By Doug on 09/15/2023
XLR8 is not my go to for killing crabgrass. I was using Tenacity which also works well but turns the crabgrass white and takes a while to kill them off. The white doesn't look great in the yard. XLR8 works faster and turns the crabgrass a dark green/brownish color that doesn't stand out badly, but they die off quickly and just go away and isn't noticeable like when using Tenacity. I have cool season grasses and it didn't harm them at all. This is my new go-to.

Crab Grass Gone
By Paolo on 09/26/2012
Verified Purchase
Used Drive with Endrun and surfactant and the crab grass along with most of the other weeds are dead within day. What didn't die I either missed or is looking really bad. .. Now three weeks later; most of the weeds are dead and a minute amount of crab grass revived slightly, but still looks like it will die soon. May have been due to not enough product being applied. I used a lawn tractor with a tow behind sprayer, mixed as directed for amount of product per acre with 12 gallons of water. Sprayed more then an acre so I may have stretched it a little. Will use again if the anti emergent doesn't work this spring.

This did a job on my crabgrass. Its been 1 1/2 since spraying and one mowing later it appears to have gotten most of the crabgrass. I may have to follow up in a few areas that had an extra heavy concentration. It did not do anything to the yellow sweet clover I had and only wrinkle the buck horn a little but did not kill as best as I can tell. Then again, maybe it wasn't supposed to.

Works!!!!!

Saw this product online and watched the video. Yard covered in crabgrass but now crabgrass dead and grass still good. Yard looks horrible because all crabgrass is dead (brown ) but product is awesome. Will probably have to buy more for back yard and to respray some areas that had more mature crabgrass. You won't be disappointed I know I am impressed with this product.
Out standing product
By Rick on 09/06/2015
I have tried all of the stuff from lowes and Home Depot and nothing killed the grab grass while it was growing. Drive xlr8 killed it all to the root in one application. Took about 7 days. I mixed it 75/25 with a surfactant and set the sprayer to 2oz per gallon. Used a gallon to do an acre. Kind of high priced but better then wasting your money on other products.
Crabgrass Killer That Worked
By James on 09/08/2015
I have 2 1/2 acres and lots of crabgrass. Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer has been the best I have used to kill the crabgrass and other weeds in my yard. I am spot spraying where some did not die when I used my tank sprayer. I hope to have all the crabgrass gone using Drive XLR8.

Excellent crabgrass control
By Jim on 07/07/2016
I used this on a cool-weather fescue lawn according to directions, along with a surfactant. I had a nearly 100% selective kill of crabgrass within a week. It is the best crabgrass control product that I have ever used. This lawn also had substantial areas of nimblewill (Muhlenbergia shreberi). I was worried that the product might harm this grass since it is not listed on the product label. However, it had no adverse effect on nimblewill.
great price fast shipping

It works
By Robert on 08/14/2016
I paired the DyneAmic Surfactant with the Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer and it killed about half of the crabgrass I had in the yard in the first 14 days. The instructions say it may take up to there applications. I'm applying the second application to those areas where the crabgrass is still present today. I am extremely happy with the product thus far.
Crabby killer works
By Steve on 08/16/2016
I sprayed this around the first of Aug. I mixed around 3 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz of surfactant in 1 1/2 gal sprayer. At this time of yr. the crabgrass is in the mature stage in So. Indiana. The morning I sprayed this there was morning dew on it, with the oil surfactant it nocked the dew off and made it easier to see where I sprayed. I don't know if this made a difference in the killing effect, but in 2 days you could see it was stressed. Now it is the Aug. 16 and what I sprayed is dead and not sprouting it's seeds. I have bought a lot of different chemicals from "Do My Own" and pretty well everything I have bought works as is described. Some of the mixing instructions could be better in mixing small amounts, but that comes from the companys that produce products. I will never buy expensive Bayer products again. I tried their crabgrass and weed killer first and crabby just laughed at what I wasted my money on.

Crabgrass killer suoreme
By Sam on 08/31/2016
This stuff totally killed the crabgrass D E A D! However, it didn't do anything else to any of the other weeds in my pitiful Bermuda lawn in Georgia. I do have some Trimec 992 coming to take care of the broadleaf weeds and I also put down some Dimension 2EW for pre-emergent for the fall and I'll reapply the Dimension in probably Februaury before the spring warming and crabgrass seeds and Poa start to sprout again. Drive is the crabgrass slaying product it claims to be.
Impressive results
