Roundup For Lawns

So I know there are mixed reviews on this killing crabgrass. What I did is two applications at half rate one week apart. It seemed to worked very well for me

I've used several products on the market made for killing yellow nutsedge in my lawn. In my humble opinion this is the best product to get the job done. I highly recommend this product for ridding your lawn of this horrible weed. We've had tons of rain this spring and this weed had infested up to a third of my front yard. It is a very difficult weed to kill and spreads like crazy once it gets established in your lawn. The longer you wait to treat for it the more it spreads.

Works great on weeds in the lawn only. It's not like regular vegetation killing roundup where you see results instantly. Weeds will start to yellow after 3 days or so. They'll start dying off in about a week and then you'll notice after a few weeks how great your lawn is starting to look. You need to be patient with this stuff. Also, it's not meant to be used off the lawn. Don't spray in over weeds in rocks, cracks in sidewalks or driveways or on dirt in your garden...it won't work properly. Those weeds won't die and you'll be wasting your product and money. Read the instructions and buy the right version for the area you live in. Happy Weeding!!!

Three years ago dug up my old "lawn" and planted plugs of red fescue as a no-mow, drought tolerant replacement. Late this past fall I over-seeded the area to get it to fill in more, but red fescue grows very slowly from seed. Bur clover started coming up but I was concerned about using an herbicide on fresh fescue so I held off, and before I knew it that bur clover had just taken off and was everywhere, thanks to the previous "lawn" having been nothing but mowed weeds for years. There was too much to even consider manual methods of abatement, and too much for spot treatment, so I bit the bullet, purchase a hose-end sprayer, sprayed this product and hoped for the best. Having read a few reviews that said this product killed the weeds *and* the lawn, I was worried that my hard work with the fescue would whither up and die with the clover. Not so! This product worked fantastically, exactly as the manufacturer claimed. My fescue wasn't effected and the clover is dead and ready for removal. Applying this with a hose-end spreader was insanely fast and easy, and I've just purchased another bottle because I think this battle will go on for years until all the old clover seed has terminated and been killed off. I'll also be applying a pre-emergent when the time's right. Great stuff!

A great container and spray unit. But, the product is shy of delivering its brag. For me the stuff killed dandelions only and only with multiple applications. It did NOT affect any other yard weeds. Maybe the formula of this batch was off. Given 3 stars only for the container.

Works well, just not as quick as advertised .

I was leery of the product just because of the name (Roundup) and it's reputation using Glyphosate, but this is not that same product. This uses 2-4D and Quinclorac. I was skeptical because I know how stout and difficult Crabgrass is to get rid of...well this stuff blew my expectation out of the water! Not did this only nuke Clover, Dandelions, and Plantains, but this destroyed the Crabgrass that I had throughout my lawn. Could not be happier and I'm not even sure if I'll have to do a second application, but even if I do I have plenty left for the next time. Quick Tips: (My Two Cents) 1. To help the product and set it up for the best success I mowed the lawn before application to better open up the weeds so they would drink in their death lol. 2. Pop the spray nozzle to access the contents, then put one light squeeze of some dishsoap (Dawn/Similar) in there, shake it up lightly to mix, and it will help the product last longer and be more effective.

My front yard shrubbery area was a pain to keep up so I had a guy in to remove all the bushes, lay down a black plastic sheet then cover that with decorative gravel. Far easier upkeep as a result. I won’t ever be the prettiest lawn in my neighborhood but that’s ok with me. Still, the damn weeds keep popping up thru the gravel so I zap them with this Roundup unit once every 10 days or so without having to bend over which is a big plus for me and my bad back. It works well in this regard. I’m a little miffed the product itself isn’t more permanent on the weeds but it gets me by.
