Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Decent product that does a good job. The chemicals are pretty strong so we tend to be careful where we spray. The hose is easy to use and storage is simple m.

    Must have weed killer!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a must have for any weeds you are fighting. No bad odor at all. The spray coverage is accurate and great. The packaging and container size is perfect for your seasonal weeds.

      Fast acting!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used Ortho GroundClear weed & grass killer while redoing our backyard, and it made it so much easier. The product was simple to apply and started showing results quickly. Within a short time we noticed weeds and unwanted grass beginning to dry out, helping us prepare the area for our landscaping project. Definitely recommend if you are making backyard renovations!

        Works quick!
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used in our landscaping rocks areas and WOW this worked like a charm and quick. The images between spraying and the dead weeds are less than 5 hours apart! The spray attachment being integrated and powerful is wonderful - makes it a simple grab and go product. Will be a staple for these areas around our property.

          Doesn’t work as advertised.
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cannot recommend this product. It was easy enough to use, with the built in sprayer, and I was able to cover quite a bit of ground quickly. There is no mixing just pop the top insert the hose and start spraying. That was nice. But… the product wilted the leaves as stated in the directions but did not kill any of the vegetation I sprayed it on. Followed directions to the t and, was going to post a before and after pic but the after looked the same as before so I didn’t. This product may work after many repeated applications but as directed on the packaging and advertised it fell way short. Best bet is to try a different week killer.

            Effective for weeds
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It came in a huge bottle and spray cap. We tried it out and sprayed my rock garden area in the surface and it was effective as we observed throughout some weeks. There is a bit of a smell of the product but not too bad.

              Decent for maintenance but would pair it with another method as well.
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall it works but it’s not as instant or powerful as I would like. After spraying I didn’t see any dramatic results and the photo here shows the weed about a day later and it’s still requires some work to get the weeds out from between the pavers. However, it is easy to use and good for quick touch ups around the driveway.

                Good grass and weed killer for driveway
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works like it should. It killed the weeds and grass growing through the cracks in my driveway. The nozzle trigger is easy to use although a continuous mister would be easier to use. Overall I am pleased with the results and would repurchase.

                  Good but not great
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took multiple coats before any real work was done but it was easy to use so I really cant complain and the price isnt to bad either so honestly decent value

                    Effective easy to use and almost odor free product!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a bit eseptive about this product at first, but about 8 days after applying it, I started to notice that underneath my garage door that stubborn weed wasn’t growing anymore! I had literally to be removing it every 10 days, so this definitely is effective and life changing! It doesn’t have a strong smell, what I actually loved and it sprays the right amount of product, making the application pretty easy!

                      Great on weeds
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a little hard to get the nozzle hose out of the handle and connecting to the the bottle. But after that it was easy to use. My luck it started rain but it still work.

                        Not the best
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let’s start with what I liked. The container was easy to hold and the spray did have good coverage. It was easy to use with one hand and hold the jug at the same time. The spray did work quickly but only turned the leaves brown. It did not kill the entire plant and they quickly came back.

                          Works on moss and keeps concrete weed-free!
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has become a spring and summer staple. It works great on weeds, but was particularly helpful on weeds that were sprouting in cracks in our concrete. Weeds had been a recurring problem, and it was impossible to pull them out successfully from the cracks. This product was incredibly easy to use, dried quickly, and had an even and strongly concentrated application from the nozzle. By the next day the weeds were shriveled up and browned. It even worked on some stubborn moss growing on our stone wall. Sprayed it after work and by the morning, the moss was brown and brushed off easily, as seen in the pictures!

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really nice cap dispensee and I love how is so easy to use. So fast and the result was so great. It doesn't smells really strong and easy to carry everywhere with 0 mess.

                              Works fast and easy for use
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This weed killed was easy and worked pretty quickly on most weeds and grass around my driveway and patio area. I like the spray nozzle and that I could already see results within a day or two. The only reason I am not giving it perfect score is because a few tougher weeds needed a second application. Overall, it did a good job and made the area look much cleaner.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works !I like that the sprayer extends far enough that I don't have to bend , I love that the smell is not too strong like other brands I have used. Did kill my weeds!.

                                  It definitely helps!
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see, this stuff definitely helps to kill anything green. It works pretty quickly and makes weeds shrivel up and dry out. They are still pretty hard to pull out unless you wait a few days. Overall I do think this product has its place in gardening and landscaping for maintenance.

                                    Works? Absolutely
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works? Absolutely, you can see in the picture where it’s shown a dead patch of grass and a green on right on the side. I sprayed only part of the patch and boom, it died a few days after. The other patch unaffected (because I didn’t spray it). Easy to spray, I experienced that the weeds dried after around 3-5 days after spraying. Very worth it

                                      Does its job well and quickly killing unwanted weeds and moss
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ortho groundclear weed and grass killer is very easy to use and works well for targeting unwanted moss and weeds. The convenient handle makes it comfortable to hold while spraying, I like that the spray nozzle securely attaches right into the container for easy storage. The nozzle sprays easily and puts out a good amount of product, spraying exactly where I want to go without wasting any product.

                                        Works quickly
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We found this easy to use. It seems to take more than our usual brand to kill the weeds, but still worked pretty good. It wilted them quickly and we were able to easily go back and remove the dead weeds from the walking stones.

                                          Easy set up for weed elimination!
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was easy to set up and get going to start working on the various weeds that are growing in my yard. I started with the one in the picture and they moved onto other types that were growing in the grass. I have quite a few that are growing in between the cracks of my sidewalk. It looks like the product dried really quickly because what I’m showing you is after 30 seconds there’s only a little bit left where I sprayed a little bit too much. It doesn’t have an overly strong odor, which is great because other products usually have a very strong smell the packaging seems very durable so it’s great for storage in my garage. I look forward to all the weeds being gone soon.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great product to get rid of those pesky weeds! Easy and quick to spray the affected area. You start to see a difference in as all little as 15 min and after an hour it’s even a bigger difference. Very quick, easy and effective product.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spray is great! It claims to kill moss in 15 minutes. I have plenty of that on my patio and have been looking for a solution for a couple of years besides spraying it away with a hose because it only comes back. This spray killed the moss patch so quickly, it turned completely brown with no life left in sight.

                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho Groundclear Weed and Grass Killer really works! I’ve sprayed it on the weed sprouting out in the middle of my driveway and pavement, and they have all cleared away. It is convenient to carry, and the nozzle is easy to use and spray. This is great for maintaining my driveway and pavement areas weed free.

                                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to test. It does kill weeds but you have to use it more than once to get rid of them. The nozzle and hose makes it easy to get exactly on the items you want - just don’t use it if it’s windy.

                                                        Affective weed killer.
                                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Ortho GroundClear weed and grass killer for free in exchange for a review. First off, it should go without saying, that you need to be careful and use protective gear when using this product. Also, as it says on the bottle, you do not want to use it when it is about to rain because any runoff from it can affect aquatic wildlife. This product did work as advertised on weeds that are not too well established in the ground. On larger weeds it didn't work that well. On smaller ones it worked fine, you just want to make sure you are spraying where it can reach the stem and root of the plant. I had to use a few sprays per weed (except for the really small ones) and on some there was still a little green left at the top though the bottom was all brown even after a few days. The sprayer was a little difficult to attach to the container, but you only have to do that step once so it is not that much of a problem. I also liked that it had two different "off" dials: one on the sprayer nozzle itself and the other on the top of the bottle. If you want to be extra careful around children and pets, make sure that after turning the dial on the bottle, that you empty the last few sprays that are in the hoze before turning the dial on the nozzle. I did use this mainly for weeds between the cracks in the concrete but also for the ones that pop up between our sidewalk and the turf. From what I can tell, this product did not damage the turf, but it did kill the weeds. The weeds will of course come back after a few weeks or maybe sooner depending on the season and type of weed, but as long as you spray them again before they grow too big, you can keep them under control. I didn't have any moss to use this on so I can't speak on that aspect. All in all, this product worked as advertised, you just need to be careful and use caution when using it.

                                                          It works!!
                                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to try this for my own yard which isn't too bad but also for my sister's house because her backyard is the worst grass, those painful spiky burrs is sticking to your feet and clothes. They just popped up this year and everything she tried was not getting rid of them. The kids dread playing outside because they get hurt from the burrs and It's just not fun. The Ortho Groundclear did the job! We used it for spot treatments. We both grade the problem areas in our yards and by the next day we were both seeing the spots completely killed off. That alone made a huge difference. The nozzle it comes with is actually really handy once you figure it out. At first I was really confused wondering where the hose was for the nozzle head and had to watch a video to see if I was missing something lol! The hose is inside the nozzle head and conveniently pulls out. That was awesome! What we both really like is that it's supposed to last up to a year, so we're excited about the possibility of the kids actually being able to enjoy the backyard this summer when they're over at her house. It got rid of my simple weeds and works as intended. The spray nozzle is powerful and does a great long, strong, targeted shot onto the weed. I hope it last all year!!

I'm glad to say it killed it completely. The jug and trigger made it easy to apply. I forgot to check on it after 15 minutes to see if it already worked. Later the same day is when I took the picture of the dead grass.
