Thank you for your review! We are very sorry to hear that the product did not work as you had expected it to. The weeds you are currently seeing could be weed seeds that had already germinated but did not surface for you to see to remove them at the time of application. This product will also only prevent the label listed weed seeds. We do stand behind our products and you can contact us at customerservice@lebsea.com so we may further assist you.

Wasted money
Purchased your product for years and have never seen it work so poorly. I even reapplied and still am spending hours weeding my garden.
It's either a bad batch or they're reformulated and it's now a bad product.

Prevents weeds from growing, does job.
This item prevents weeds from growing for 3 months, really no more than 3 months, so, about 90 days. It works pretty well, not 100%, but close. Preen starts working when it is ‘activated’ by water (rain, hose, etc.). I always use the rain to activate it, so, scheduling when I put the Preen down is important / depends on upcoming weather. 1 of these bags weighs 32 pounds total. To use, put the Preen in a yellow-shaker-Preen bottle, filled all the way up, that then weighs 8 pounds…spread with that shaker, holding in hands the shaker, shaking out the Preen particles, that’s what I do, it works! Preen especially works great in small-rock-beds, as well as all mulch beds. Do not touch Preen with barehands and do not breathe-in the Preen smell, as it is a chemical still…not good for any human contact.
I use Preen because it helps prevent weeds, that’s it. Other than that, it doesn’t do anything else, it’s okay. 4 outta’ 5 stars, no more than that. If weeds were nonexistent, I definitely wouldn’t want nor need to use Preen.

Great product
I use this product every 3 months on my mulch beds and I have minimal weed issues. I have been using this product for 4 years and my mulch beds look fantastic. This container is nice to buy it cheap. Once I'm ready to put preen down, I dump this bulk container into the smaller preen container with the spout for easy application. After I apply preen to the mulch, I water it in. This product has met my expectations and I have not had a reason to dislike it.

Great for weeds
I use this product every 3 months on my mulch beds and I have minimal weed issues. I have been using this product for 4 years and my mulch beds look fantastic. This container makes it easy to apply the granules because of its spout built into the cap. I buy Preen in bulk and dump it into this container to do my applications. I water mine in after I put it down. This product has met my expectations and I have not had a reason to dislike it.

Good product, read the label first
Got this after searching HD website for “pre-emergent” treatments and then filtered by “lawn” and this came up. After applying, I went back to the bag to check what it prevented against and it clearly says “not for lawns”.

Thank you for your review! Preen Garden Weed Preventer is only for use in landscape or garden beds. If this was applied to a lawn we would recommend heavily watering the area where applied.

The Preen Weed Preventer works really well to control weeds around our home and around our lavender plants. I apply the product every three months and that works really well for us. It is easy to apply by just flipping the applicator out and sprinkling the granules. The most recent application was two weeks ago. I am very pleased with the product and it definitely met my expectations.

I'm so happy with the results of Preen,my garden is weedless and no pain for me from weeding. This is a fantastic product and I have recommended it to all my family and friends. Wish I would have used it the past years. Thank you for such a wonderful product.

A Lifesaver!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I began using Preen over 15 years ago when I decided to increase my flower beds. It was so difficult trying to control the weeds until I used Preen. With so many flower beds I needed a partner to help me weed and Preen became my new best friend!!! When I moved, I cried leaving behind all my beautiful gardens. So at my new home, I did the same thing. Began using Preen and have my old freind working with me again. I use it about 3-4 times per year in my beds and my weeding is minimal. I cant say enough about it! I have recommended Preen to my new daughter in law, as I help her begin her flower gardens. Thank you Preen♥

Results were what we needed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for a garden in a county park in Michigan. We needed something to keep the weeds at bay as there are many things that fly around in the parks! Not only after 6 weeks were there only 3 weeds but the plants are growing nicely without weeds to cut them back!

A must
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is excellent. Could not maintain my gardens without it. Kills the weeds without having to do anything. Saves me tons of work weeding so I have more time to enjoy the gardens. If you do any kind of gardening, this product is a must.

No Weeding
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use Preen in multiple shrub beds around my house and Koi pond and rarely have to pull a weed. Apply to mulch early spring and several times during the season.

Preen Weed Preventer
I have used this product & the one similar made by your company. I liked it & the difference it made compared to other products. As a Master Gardener I don't always get wooed by products & don't want more in my garage. I have not tried the other Preen products. Perhaps I will soon.

My Preen Poem
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Preen, you are supreme in killing the seeds!
That stop the weeds from their dirty deeds.
Preen helps cut my gardening time I surely lack,
And it also saves me from getting an aching back.
Preen is an absolute MUST for use in the early spring,
Then enjoy your pretty garden and hear the birds sing!

Preen works the best!

Mother always knows best
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I started using preen many years ago after spending hours weeding in my garden and also the garden in the park I volunteer for. My mom was in her 80's and told me that I was spending too much time weeding. She said get the weeds out and use Preen. So obeying her really gave me so much more time to just enjoy all the flowers.
She used Preen long before I did and kept her garden until the age of 104 with help. She passed two years ago at the age of 107 and 8 months old.

Weed Prevention
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you don't want to spend the hot summer months pulling weeds in your garden this is your answer. Follow the directions and pull all weeds and then sprinkler Preen and you are set for the season!!! Awesome product!

Works great!

Family has used Preen as long as I can remember
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Father swore by Preen Garden Weed Preventer. I remember helping him weed & spread Preen throughout our gardens every spring as a pre-teen & would help him as he aged as well. This is how I came to love gardening-flowers & vegetables, bonding with Dad. Dad has passed & I have my own gardens, I know I can trust Preen to help me maintain the weeds. Like clockwork, every spring I have Preen in my basket, memories if Dad, & cannot wait to enjoy my gardens instead of pulling weeds all the time.

I love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Preen for years and am very satisfied with how it works. I mulch in the spring and add Preen and am pretty set for most of the summer. I have lots of flower beds and it sure cuts down on the work.

Weeds, weeds go away!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Preen Weed Preventer is our go-to product to get our garden prepped for spring planting! We remove existing weeds first, apply a fresh layer of mulch or stones, plant new flowers and shrubs, and liberally sprinkle Preen Weed Preventer. It has NEVER harmed our landscaping and our plants thrive!
