Response from Ortho Consumer ServicesFeb 29, 2024
We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer Ready-to-Use and appreciate your feedback.

Weeds will begin to show signs of wilting and yellowing within 1 hour of application under ideal conditions. A complete control may take up to 2 weeks. For best results, temperatures should be consistently above 60 degrees. Nighttime temperatures below 40 degrees F, or fluctuating day time temperatures, where temperatures are frequently dropping below 60 degrees F, will slow results. If weeds are taller than 6 inches, mow or cut down weeds and remove debris before treatment. This is because taller weeds are more difficult to kill and will prevent product from reaching the soil to provide the year long weed prevention.

We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. ortho

The product works quickly and effectively. The weeds were in a state of decay within hours and practically gone from state within the next 48 hours. The applicator wand works very well whether covering a wide area of weeds or individual weeds.

    Ortho Groundclear really works. I spray ground clear "Year Round" on my rock every year once between January and February, only a few weeds pop up throughout the year. Highly recommend!!

    Very powerful weed killer
    This stuff works great. Kills the toughest plants I applied it to. I will keep it in my arsenal for killing weeds in pavers and other places I don't want plants. If you want to replant the area, I found out from Ortho that I can test the soil to see if it is still poisonous to plants by planting a radish seed in the soil. They grow quickly and are killed by the poisonous if it is still present.

          Worthless don’t buy
          Bought 2 gallons of this product. It hasn’t killed the growing weeds and grass yet! It’s been 3 weeks! Will never buy this product again. Concentrate?? 4 ounces per gallon of water. Worthless product.

          We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Groundclear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback. We recommend watering weeds prior to application, as product must stick to weed leaves to be effective. Product should be left undisturbed and not watered for 24 hours after the application. When temperatures are high (over 90°+), weeds slow their growth down and cannot absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering, they cannot absorb the product. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.
            Reliable, Patio Weed Killer
            I've used this product for 2 years now. I apply in April/May and then I only need to spot spray the rest of the season. Cleared the weeds from my stone walkway and stone patio quickly. I have had no issue with the applicators. Recently bough the concentrate so I can put in my own spray to tackle a stone driveway.

              Does not work
              I have followed the Ortho instruction for mixing and spraying but three weeks later the weeds are thriving. In these period there was no rain or any kind of irrigation. I would like to get my hard earn money back.

              We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Groundclear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback. For best results, it is important to use this product when weeds are young and tender. Leaves must be thoroughly and uniformly covered with the spray solution and kept dry for 2 hours after application. Although results may be visible within hours of application, product can take 1-2 weeks to completely kill weeds. We want you to be confident in our products.

                  Don't recommend.
                  I applied under perfect conditions. The temperature was 80 degrees, it was sunny and we had rain 5 days before and after 5 days absolutely nothing has happened. The same thing happened last year so I switched to a different herbicide.

                  We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Groundclear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback. Weeds will begin to show signs of wilting and yellowing within 1 hour of application under ideal conditions. A complete control may take up to 2 weeks. Weeds must be actively growing. The label states that is weeds are taller than 6 inches, mow or cut down weeds and remove debris before treatment. This is because taller weeds are more difficult to kill and will prevent product from reaching the soil to provide the year long weed prevention. The weeds and ground should be wet after application. Allow product to soak into the ground. During drought weeds will slow their growth down. If the weeds are drought stressed watering them the day before will typically prompt them to start growing which means they will take in the herbicide which will then kill them.

                      We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho Groundclear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback. We recommend watering the weeds first as drought stressed plants cannot readily absorb the herbicide. When leaves are dry, spray again. Temperatures below 60 degrees or above 90 degrees may cause weeds to be dormant. Cold nights may delay weed death as well. If necessary, reapply 2-3 weeks after first application. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.
                        Doesn't work
                        I used this double strength on basic weeds and grass. Applied in dry conditions, no rain. Not one weed or piece of grass even turned brown. Can't tell I sprayed anything a week later. Threw my receipt away not thinking I would ever need it.

                            Didn't Work
                            I really wanted this product to work for the obvious reasons. But unfortunately it didn't work. Some did grass wilt. then came back even stronger and they brought along some friends. Other Ortho products I've purchased in the past worked well. But this is definitely not one of them.

                                My suggestion to those who have complained, do not mix it with anything. Also cut your grass before hand then apply spray. Results will be promising.

                                  Works, but is coming out of the wand as foam
                                  This stuff kills weeds, but when I tried to use it recently, the pesticide is coming out as foam, and this is impossible to use on a large area. How can I fix?

                                    It might work on a small area
                                    Part of it is my fault. I miss read the label... I thought it said concentrate. It only mixes up to make 5.5 gallons and only treats 400 sq ft. Plenty for sidewalks and concrete driveways. However, don't waste your money on this if you are treating a gravel drive. Go get something like Hi-Yield Killzall. It costs 4 times as much, but treats 62 times the area.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using this product for only a short time and it has already proven itself to be effective. My husband loves to use this stuff. It’s super easy to use. He loves that the pump is battery powered which makes getting the job done less of a strain than using the old pump sprayers. When using the sprayer it also gives out a consistently even lining of the product which is also a plus.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used GroundClear to kill the weeds and grass on my walkway. The vegetation began to wilt in about an hour and within a few days was dead. Six weeks later the path was still clear of grass. I look forward to only having to spray once a year!

                                          Needs better directions
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I understand that a lot of people probably already know how to use this set up. It was my first time using a vegetation killer and I was unsure of how to attach the sprayer to the bottle. The port where it attaches turns like it is locking and unlocking but is not labeled. There are multiple pages of warnings attached but no directions. Once I figured it out, it was fairly simple to use.

                                            Works quickly
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been about a month or a bit more since using the Ortho® GroundClear® Year Long Vegetation Killer all over the outside steps and walkway outgrowth of my house. Once sprayed the weeds died off very very quickly. The weeds are now slowly starting to grow back in a few spots. I very well could've used a bit less in those areas versus the areas that are still weed free. That has been my general downfall on most products is they aren't a permanent solution and generally stated. Winter is upon us shortly so I will spray those areas again and see what spring brings us as far as the ultimate results!
