I had terrible crabgrass problems for years and the only thing that worked for me is table salt. My zoysia and bermuda don’t get affected by the salt. On sunny days, the salt pulls the moisture down to the roots. When it rains, it dissolves down to the roots and kills it.
I have 1 patch of crab grass and the remaining patches are slightly different than crab grass as they grow straight up and are a brighter green. Are these treated the same way? What must I do to get rid of it? It is driving me crazy...
You need to edit your video. MSO is needed to make the chemical stick to the grass. Crabgrass is waxy and without MSO, the chemical will not stick or be far less effective. Great video otherwise,
I an sooʻ sick of crabgrass..creeping charlie and junk grass.....none of my neighbors do anything to Their yards.. I've been trying to clean ..mow.. and contain decent grass. Since I bought my home 3 yrs ago...my flowers and new shrubs are stunning but the crab grass comes in thicker and thicker each year ...taking over the good grass.....I have put down weed and feed killer each year grub killer,,I have crappy soil..70% sand..
If I live in a warm season area but have crabgrass that has taken over and want to just kill everything and then just replant for new grass lawn or buy new sod. Do I need to get a sod cutter or can I just use the Quinclorac &% then use barricade then ..... ???
That is true. I live in Texas very few days to spray that are not over 85 degrees. MSO and non io surfactants when mixed with quinclorac will burn every dang time. Drive/ quinclorac has two modes of action. That dude should not have been spraying under the tree a no no per label.
ONE Bend over, TWO Flat Bleed 10' knife on side of the plant and pray it up, THREE Pull it up, FOUR leave a hole, FIVE Put crabgrass in yard bag. that it
I did as well for the first time and now I have alot of bare spots in my yard. Did you have the same issue and if so, how did you repair the bald spots?
I use Ornamec because I need to kill small patches of Bermuda and Barnyard grass along with the crabgrass. My lawn is TTTF in central Pa. Results show in a few days to a week or so. I use Tzone for my broadleaf weeds since I have wild violet.
I thought I could drown out crabgrass by burying it. I turned the center island in my driveway into a garden and raised the island for level ground. Between all of the new dirt I dumped, and mulch I used for pathways, the crabgrass doesn’t care. It’s growing through everything. Please help T-T
I used quinclorac about 2 weeks ago on my crabgrass the leaves started turning brown like the weed was dying.. Now two weeks later they're getting green again..We did have heavy rain for 3 straight days this week..I live in a cool season grass state and have a mixture of tall fescues rye and Kentucky blue grass..Should I just hand pick the crabgrass out?..I don't want to leave spots in my grass.
This doesn't help me at all here in Southern California. I think my type of grass, I have sod, is OK, but I don't want to kill everything. I can't pull them out as I'm disabled. I think I just need to save up and have the whole lawn removed deep, new soil then new sod.
My entire 3/4 acre is this nasty crab grass. I have about a 2-3 got section that is still lovely, soft grass. Crab grass has crowded out everything else. HELP!!
Good video. I use DriveXLR8 for post emergence of crab grass. It works great! Which is better and more economical to use? The DriveXLR* or Quinclorac 75DF?
I don't have grass yet just crabgrass lot of it lot is dead I layer of killer on it . Do I have to still dig it out? Can I use a thatcher instead then ? Then going to plug it and seed make a lawn.
You mention watering ur lawn early morning before it gets to warm I live in Australia & told to water lawn late Arvo or early evening to let water soak in while it is cooler
Yeah. I have some large "no mow" sections and I love how much time, money work it saves. My dirt is clayish dining my sun spots I can't get my creeping perennials that try to spread oin there to survive come July.
It grows incredibly fast compared to the regular grass, with big clumps and it's a different color green. I'm a child of the 50's and everyone wanted a nice looking lawn. An after effect of coming out of WW2 where everyone was happy the war was over and there wasn't the need for everything going towards the war effort and we could live better and a beautiful lawn was a sign of doing well. I have younger friends who are into the natural look... no more mowing, planting gardens instead of having a yard and so on. It's a generational thing. I'm also an artist and very anal about perfection and that reflects in my yard also. In my gravel driveway another weed is taking over called purslane that is very high in antioxidants and in general a very good dietary supplement, but it grows and looks like a spider web, connecting with others until it covers the driveway. It has also invaded my vegetable garden and grows really fast. Again, my need for symmetry and neatness over rules any health benefits.
I did as well for the first time and now I have alot of bare spots in my yard. Did you have the same issue and if so, how did you repair the bald spots?
I've tried a few things and am about done for the season. If I wait until next season to do the pre-emergent herbicide will it be ok if there are a lot of crab grass weeds?
I have St.Augustine grass and seems everything is not compatible to kill current growth. Any suggestions and how I can prevent growth spurning from neighbors yard?
spot with roundup then dig it out and fill with sand when it dies. St. Augustine will spread over the dead hole. Use a pre-emergent to prevent new sprouts.
Thank you! Our lawn was a mess with alot of dead spots in the sun. We thought it was from the dogs. I got True Green for one year and started their service this year, had 3 treatments up til May, and nothing since. The crab grass is tripled! I started to pull them darn weeds myself and my husband thought i was crazy. But that is how I was raised, taking dandelions like that. This video proves Im not crazy! I will follow this. Thank you for the guidance.
Try Ornamec for all grassy weeds assuming your grass type supports its use. It will kill bermuda for instance. I use it for crabgrass, barnyard grass, and to kill the bermuda in my tall fescue lawn.
Tru Green is a complete rip-off, their “techs” are under trained and given too many yards in a day to actually take their time. I used them for a year and a half and with zero results. I asked the technician one time if there was anything he recommended I do in between treatments… his response was “water I guess”… lol wow thanks
Another overlooked tip: DO NOT water in the middle of a sunny day. You will burn the grass and plants since the water focuses the suns rays like a lens when it sits on the surface before it dries.
@@stevecox2020 Well whenever I water plants in the sun, the leaves turn yellow and look scorched. I think the grass also turns yellow, but it's hard to tell since it goes yellow in summer anyway.
@@stevesmith756 That sounds like horrible advice. Whoever gave you that I would question. I know from experience that watering in the middle of the day kills grass and plants, they will be brown the next day
I watered last summer in the middle of the day for my tall fescue on UA-cam advise and it worked for me 🤷♂️ I’m in So cal and it gets hot and prevented the fescue from going dormant
My loan guy says that just by allowing them to die in the winter, they will not be able to invade on spring if your grass is nicely thick.. Does this stands in your opinion ? I live in Belgium
@@enriquecastellon6524 I use DriveXLR8 and the vegetable oil surfactant. It works great on post crab grass for me. The vegetable surfactant mixed in makes the DriveXLR8 "sheet" over the leaves and better killing of the already growing crab grass. Otherwise the DriveXLR8 would bead on the crab grass less coverage on the plant. Just like rain does.
Wow ! How could I have known what crabgrass is??? It’s amazing! I’d never have thought that I could use a death chemical! Your video is soooooo enlightening! 😆
I had terrible crabgrass problems for years and the only thing that worked for me is table salt. My zoysia and bermuda don’t get affected by the salt. On sunny days, the salt pulls the moisture down to the roots. When it rains, it dissolves down to the roots and kills it.
Lol that’s great. Chemicals are terrible
I have to try it. Hope it works for me. Thanks!
Also baking soda.
No, I don't want to control crabgrass but I want you to show viewers how to kill them permanently
This guy like to bounce while talking.
I wish he'd just bounce.

this guy bounces a lot when talking lol
He's on a trampoline.
Well done and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Now this was the first video that really explained how to get rid of crab grass. Pictures and great explanation. Thank you.
I an sooʻ sick of crabgrass..creeping charlie and junk grass.....none of my neighbors do anything to
Their yards.. I've been trying to clean ..mow.. and contain decent grass.

Crabgrass seeds can lay dormant for 20 years before sprouting. Unless you dig up the earth there is no way of knowing if you got it all.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Seeds will germinate in a matter of weeks or months.
If I live in a warm season area but have crabgrass that has taken over and want to just kill everything and then just replant for new grass lawn or buy new sod. Do I need to get a sod cutter or can I just use the Quinclorac &% then use barricade then ..... ???
My WHOLE YARD is crab grass!!
Make sure you change your mower oil to control that crab grass 🤷♂️
Just let the crabgrass take over. Looks a lot like grass and it grows without any work.
You didn't mention that crabgrass is a waxy leaf that requires a specific adjuvent to get quinchloac to stick to it such as MSO. This is essential
You are exactly right. He needs to edit the video. No MSO, no dead grass. Waste of time and money,
That is true. I live in Texas very few days to spray that are not over 85 degrees. MSO and non io surfactants when mixed with quinclorac will burn every dang time. Drive/ quinclorac has two modes of action. That dude should not have been spraying under the tree a no no per label.
Plus, you don’t want to let Bermuda grass grow as-high-as 3-4”.
ONE Bend over, TWO Flat Bleed 10' knife on side of the plant and pray it up, THREE Pull it up, FOUR leave a hole, FIVE Put crabgrass in yard bag. that it

Q: How to get rid of crabgrass?
A: Don't live in South Carolina
Same but Texas.
I thought he was riding his bike while commentating
What is left to warm season grasses like in Florida ? Please help
I use Ornamec because I need to kill small patches of Bermuda and Barnyard grass along with the crabgrass. My lawn is TTTF in central Pa. Results show in a few days to a week or so. I use Tzone for my broadleaf weeds since I have wild violet.
The thin, stringy weed residuals are everywhere. Any tips? I can’t get them all. I feel like I need some kind of sift/sieve to filter them out.
Great video; just the facts ~~thank you very much!

You treat it, then treat it again 2 weeks later
Excellent video and tons of info in such a short time⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not for sale in NY 🤷♀️
What if you’re in a warm grass area?
I'll try tenacity first
This doesn't help me at all here in Southern California. I think my type of grass, I have sod, is OK, but I don't want to kill everything. I can't pull them out as I'm disabled. I think I just need to save up and have the whole lawn removed deep, new soil then new sod.
You forgot to mention adding surfactant to the Quinclorac mixture to help Q stick to the leaves!
What if Iv used my pump sprayer with round up or other grass and weed killers before? If it’s washed out is it still ok to use?
this is a pro lymphoma video if Ive ever seen one
So is the jab but no one's talking...
Excellent video. Thank you for putting this out.
My entire 3/4 acre is this nasty crab grass. I have about a 2-3 got section that is still lovely, soft grass. Crab grass has crowded out everything else. HELP!!
Plant more prairie. Get rid of your exotic and invasive turf and plant ecological native prairie grasses.
I've had my lawn treated for years and the crab grass and creeping Charlie have taken over. I'm considering a tactical battlefield nuke!
Good video. I use DriveXLR8 for post emergence of crab grass. It works great! Which is better and more economical to use? The DriveXLR* or Quinclorac 75DF?
I need to know what can I use to get rid of crabgrass preventer killing my cabbage 🥬 in my garden
Great video
I don't have grass yet just crabgrass lot of it lot is dead I layer of killer on it . Do I have to still dig it out? Can I use a thatcher instead then ? Then going to plug it and seed make a lawn.
And if you have St Augustine? Then what 🤦🏼♀️
You mention watering ur lawn early morning before it gets to warm I live in Australia & told to water lawn late Arvo or early evening to let water soak in while it is cooler
Are the products used to kill the crabgrass safe for pets?
Can you use a surfactant with this to help sticking?
pitty i cant find it anywhere here in Europe .. maybe it is banned substance
Great video, thanks for sharing.
And if you have st augustine it will kill your grass
Crabgrass almost destroyed my yard. The grass around it turns rust.
Thank you for your great explanation.
what about watering after how long to wait?
great video, Thanks for the info!
What time of the year is best to apply?
3-4” for my Bermuda grass is to high.
i live in FL and have St. Augustine, i really want to get rid of Burmudagrass. do you have any recommendation?
Tenacity will from what I have seen
Does baking soda work?
I use a shovel to loosen the roots to pull it out.
Can use these products in a garden
Very nicely done, concise and hitting all points!
Thanks I just dug it up instead
I hate lawns. So much time and money and only I care? So many chemicals! So much lymphoma.
Yeah. I have some large "no mow" sections and I love how much time, money work it saves. My dirt is clayish dining my sun spots I can't get my creeping perennials that try to spread oin there to survive come July.

Can it be used to treat Covid 19?
Dumba$$
Will quinclorac kill young grass and or seed?
I dig the clusters out
I did as well for the first time and now I have alot of bare spots in my yard. Did you have the same issue and if so, how did you repair the bald spots?
@@JustAGuy63 yes I am planning on over seeding this fall so for me the bare spots are fine
What your solution for getting rid of Virginia Button Weed?
What about using tenacity
it looks like what?

Crab Grass
Great video!
Hold still
I've tried a few things and am about done for the season. If I wait until next season to do the pre-emergent herbicide will it be ok if there are a lot of crab grass weeds?
For this winter, try seeding the problem area with winter rye grass. It may shade out the lower laying stuff.
Thank you!
How long should you wait to seed after using Quinclorac?
I was wondering the same thing
Or you could just eat it. It is edible and used for cereal in other countries...
I have St.Augustine grass and seems everything is not compatible to kill current growth. Any suggestions and how I can prevent growth spurning from neighbors yard?
spot with roundup then dig it out and fill with sand when it dies. St. Augustine will spread over the dead hole. Use a pre-emergent to prevent new sprouts.
Shouldn't mow 2 days before or after application. Should see results in 1 - 2 weeks. My question is... when do you recommend I mow?
three days before application and three days after application.
