Customer Reviews for Gordons Trimec Classic Broadleaf Herbicide

I used 3.5 oz per gallon in a 2 gallon pump sprayer. It rained within 24 hours of application and I used no surfactant. To my surprise most of the weeds were dead and gone within 2 weeks. There were a couple weeds along the fenceline that I may have missed or from the rain. All in all I'm very pleased and will use again. Also, price is half as much as my local nursery!

I have been fighting the Creeping Charlie for years with products from the big Home stores, without success. Gordons Trimec Classic wiped out 95 percent of weeds with one application this spring. I was so impressed, I had to leave this review.

I'm a homeowner with no experience in pesticides. Grasses and clover popped up in the mulched yard after recent rain in SoCal. My first treatment was with RoundUp and it was ineffective. My landscaper buddy recommended this product to kill the clover....and it worked. Within 12 hours the clover was starting to wilt and by 48 hours it was dead. Cons: The dosage instructions. I'm a city boy that moved out of the city to the burbs. The directions call for ounces per sprayed acreage, something I wasn't familiar with. Perhaps they could say "2 ounces per gallon" is effective or something along those lines. My application was very potent and effective, but next time I'll go lighter on the herbicide. This stuff isn't good for the ground water and eventually runs into rivers and oceans.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! We are so glad to hear you have had success with the Gordon's Trimec for your clover problem. Regarding the usage rate instructions, most professional herbicides will have directions to use an amount of concentrate per area, rather than an amount per gallon. This is because equipment output can vary greatly, and we want to think of water as being a carrier of our active ingredient: it is much more important to use the correct amount of concentrate for the treatment area, and you just need to use sufficient water to cover that area. If you are using new equipment, then it can be helpful to mark off a small area to calibrate your equipment using water only before applying the herbicide. You can also always call us for assistance at 866-581-7378. Thank you for your feedback and your business!

Was told about trimec Classic by a friend's dad. He showed me his son's treated lawn and I was amazed! Creeping Charlie and many other broad leafs took it on the chin in this matchup! My results were equally as good so far. I may throw a booster application on in the spring time to completely win the war!!

Have used this in the past as my only weapon against broadleaf weed killer. It took my lawn from a dandelion show case to being almost dandelion free. I have the upmost respect for this products ability to control broadleaf weeds in my lawn.

This stuff works! I had clover and creeping charlie taking over my lawn. A few weeks after I put this stuff down, my lawn looks as if I never had an infestation! It even stressed out and killed some of the crabgrass!

Have used Trimec off and on for many years. Just decided to buy a gallon because it would get used. Sprayed and a few days later ground ivy and other weeds are dying. Bought this time mainly for ground ivy. Highly recommend this and DoMyOwn. Not my first purchase here.

I have an empty lot/land next to me which has been overrun with thistles the last two years, now starting to invade our property. The Dimension herbicide I normally lay down kills everything except thistles so I bought Gordon's and it got the job done. Within a day of application the thistles were wilting and ultimately died. I added about 6oz to my 4 gallon backpack sprayer along with surfricant (sp?).

Compared to the "big box" stores, at DoMyOwn, I have a better selection; equal or better prices and it is shipped to my front door. I also find the labels easier to read. Need help...no problem. They have qualified people that can help just a click away.

After one day of use the clover laid over and after 4 days the dominant broadleaf appears to be dying in my dormant Bermuda lawn.

If you have problems with creeping beggarweed or other broadleaf weeds, Gordon's Trimec Classic is a must-have! These weeds seem to always reappear but they haven't come back since using this fine product. Off the shelf herbicides at the retail stores just don't seem to work anymore.

I was previously a pesticide applicator during a 5 year stent as a greens keeper and am very familiar with this product. It's been awhile since I have had a yard big enough to justify using a product of this caliber. I have a lot of Pennywort(dollar weed), various crab grasses and spurges in my centipede lawn and this knocked out over 95% of it in the first application. Please make sure you read and understand the application rates as this is not your typical big box store product; there's a little math involved and it's easy to mix a hot dose that can damage your lawn!

Great product...I've used it for years. Keeps the grass free of ugly broadleaf plants and doesn't hurt the good stuff!

You need so little of this to kill the weeds in your lawn, making this a very economical choice. My new favorite broad leaf killer.

Gordons Trimec appears to be a more concentrated strength than the Big Box Stores sell. I got Very Good results from my Fall Application. I Will apply again in late Winter. My lawn was heavily infected with Chickweed and broadleaf grasses. My Dethatcher is raking up dead broadleaf grass after 3 weeks. It killed Clover on contact. I expect to get many applications from the 1 gallon size. I used a Hose End Sprayer, followed the mixing instructions, and matched the test area for size and it worked. I would recommend Gordons Trimec for regular lawn maintenance.

The Trimec worked great on eliminating the black medic in my lawn. I used 3 oz. To a gallon of water and sprayed directly on the black medic and by the following day it was shriveling up and was gone. Great stuff.

I have so many different weeds in my yard, didn't bother to try and identify them. Wanted to try a reasonable priced weed killer so I selected Trimec. I sprayed half my front yard, 1/2 oz per gallon, no surfacant. Amazing results you can clearly see where I started and stopped spraying. 90% of the weeds are gone. Didn't get the clover so much but the directions say it's best to get that in the fall. Going to spray the rest this week

After one spraying the weeds started dying. Of course it was not overnight, but with patience we started seeing the results. We plan on giving the first spraying plenty of time to do all it can and maybe in the fall do a second spraying. We sprayed too late to get the weeds before they reached maturity.

I have used Trimec Classic as the principle herbicide for control of broadleaf weeds on undeveloped land, right of ways, weeds in turf and flowerbeds. Product mixes well, easy to apply and produces great results. The percentage of 2-4D is superior to any other product on the market. Fast acting, very limited tinting of desired grasses it is a go to for me.

This spring my field set aside for native flowers was completely covered with field clover. I used Trimec Classic and not only did it work to kill the clover, but I saw the results in 2 days - so I could quickly get to the areas I had missed.

Good post emergent herbicide for a large variety of weeds. You should add a non ionic surfactant or other sticker to this and apply using a battery powered sprayer for best results. I am using it more and more to professionally treat lawns that are infested with creeping charlie as it is more cost effective than my other favorites (speedzone and coolpower). Best application timing is spring and fall after a frost for these purposes but can also be used effectively year round. Best advice I can give you is to ditch the step 1-4, get a professional sprayer not the pump sprayer that comes with a gallon of glyphosate (roundup) and read and follow the label instructions for this and other herbicides you purchase.
