Great video. Speed Zone and Tenacity work great together. The only critique is using a water bottle as a mixing device. It works great and I’ve done it myself. Just take the wrapper off and label it. I don’t want to take a chance of someone drinking from a container I used to mix bad stuff.
Probably one of the better videos I've seen, explaining this topic. Too many others go way over the top as I'm a "beginner" but between you and RH, great content. Appreciated.

Always have been using Tenacity but after watching your video I purchased some Speedzone and will add that to my tank sprayer. Thank you. Well done and explanatory. Thank you.
I’ve been using tenacity as a post emergent for a year now.Decided to use it as a pre emergent this spring.Really liked the results. I’m gonna look into Speed Zone now
I applied the Tenacity-Speedzone mix to my lawn yesterday morning, and about 12 hours later could see the effects of the Speedzone on the broadleaf weeds. Most were definitely stressed and the leaves were drooping and starting to curl. Twenty-four hours later the green weeds from yesterday are now brown and on their way to oblivion. I'll wait a week or two for the Tenacity to strut its stuff on the crabgrass, but am very happy with the fast reaction to the Speedzone.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare What weeds? 😄 Tomorrow will be two weeks since I applied this mix and I have mowed twice (too much rain). The broadleaf weeds are completely gone and what little crabgrass remains has already gone through the bleaching process and has shrivelled almost completely away.
It also "works great" when your kids and pets are playing on the lawn. And, since the shit don't wash away, it will continue to volatilize throughout the summer, and kill your neighbor's gardens as an added bonus..
@@charlesroberts6490 I split the application in half and did two applications 3 weeks apart. For tenacity the recommended rate is 1 tsp / 1000 and for Speed Zone I don't quite remember, you'd have to read the annoying booklet attached to the bottle lol
You are killing it George literally. You are right up there with the best lawn community creators. Your videos are epic with the content and editing. Not just saying this because you featured me on your live stream series. Well done bro. You will see your sub count rise significantly even faster than it has been. :)
The production quality of this video is insane. I just finished using tenacity my first time ever and after 2 applications it really works. It did bleach my bermuda lawn but it's recovering well over time. Also nice to see Ron in this video. His grass is beyond the gold standard.
I'm stoked to see that I'm using the exact same combo. I didn't initially use the blue dye and learned a pretty rough lesson but applying speedzone + tenacity, then tenacity 2 weeks later at seeding is a great way to kick off the fall overseeding process.
@@smokes8759 tenacity is perfectly fine to apply at seeding, the label specifies so. So long as temps are below 90F and the grass isn’t overly stressed you should be able to make the tenacity and speedzone application mid august and do your seeding / final tenacity application on or just before Labor Day. Alternatively if you’re gonna do spring seeding and you know you dealt with a bunch of weeds last year then your first herbicide application should be by the end of March, then you seed / 2nd application mid April.
Always use Tenacity as my go to...always get comments about it after though from neighbors thinking I killed my grass...then a few weeks later its always "Wow...so what you using on your grass" lol.
I live in South Florida, where it's warm and tropical almost 100% of the year. I appreciate you steering those of us who live in warmer weather to Ron Henry's channel for tips specifically designed for where we live. Still gonna follow you for other great lawn tips, though!✅
I've used Tenacity before but NOW I know I can mix it with Speed Zone. I will definitely use a dye marker since I did see damage on three strips where overlapping occurred. YIKES! I have T-Zone. Can I mix Tenacity and T-Zone? Great tips - thanks a bunch!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare The label on T-Zone says to NOT use surfactant. But is it OK to use surfactant when mixing with tenacity or should I bust out more money to buy speed zone instead?
I've actually had great success with over the counter herbicides, but this was the first year applying a pre-emergent for crabgrass control. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

Hey George, I appreciate your content because it’s super informative yet concise as to not confuse beginners. Just a couple clarifying questions from an Iowan (sorry Ryan Knorr, I’m just cheap). Could you use baby shampoo as a cost effective surfactant in stead of the product used in the video? Just curious if the product you used will be more effective because it’s meant to be diluted with other herbicides. Also you’re applying a full treatment to the entire lawn correct, not spot treating? Figured spot treatment would be done a couple months later as to give the lawn time to recover. Lastly, when would you recommend starting fertilizer applications for the lawn that remains after the weeds are dying off? Just wondering so as not to hit the weeds with herbicide to kill then provide them a lifeline with fertilizer to help them bounce back. Thanks in advance!
thanks a lot Trevor! yes you can use baby shampoo but i would personally swap that for regular ol' generic dollar store dish soap, its more concentrated and will have better surfactant properties. And yes in this video we did a blanket spray across the whole lawn. As for the fertilizer, you can apply anytime before, during or after your application. Personally i would apply it about a week BEFORE your herbicide application, reason being is weeds dye faster and more effectively when the are rigorously growing. The fertilizer will boost there growth resulting in better herbicide uptake. Hope i was able to help!
George, this was an excellent, concise, informative and well-edited video. You 4-gal. backpack sprayer looked half full. I'm guessing you have about 2,000-2,500 sq. ft. yard (back & front). Thanks for the video.
What about rain? I applied this combo during the day and the same evening/night it rained. The following morning it rained for a few hours. Great video!
I learned quit a bit from your video. I am going to pick up the things that you suggested. I don't know what's going on with the weeds this year I live in Massachusetts. I have weeds coming up through brick pavers that I use for my walkway also an area underneath my second level deck area and all through my lawn I have Clover and other weeds. It's getting late in our season here but it looks terrible. Same with my garden area I have a beautiful garden that is about 40 ft long x 15 ft wide.. people that walk by my house always commented on how beautiful my God was. This year I was having a problem with my swimming pool that took up a lot of my time and a shoulder injury. I'm in my sixties and I'm getting kind of worn out LOL but there's nothing better than looking at your finished product with Pride. Thanks again I'm going to see if I can subscribe to your Channel.

Cheers from the southern US. I like to use a product called Blindside for all purpose weed control. Also works great for nutsedge. Keep up the quality content!
I've been enjoying your videos the past couple weeks waiting for my Minnesota lawn to wake up. Moved into this place late last fall. Backyard dominated by creeping Charlie, did a huge soil top dress and smothered a bit of it. It's starting to creep towards my freshly germinated perennial ryegrass. Will be using tenacity and speed zone in a month or so when the grass is slightly older.
Thank you Colin! Much appreciated 😀 If creeping charlie is a major issue for you, may i suggest using Tzone instead of Speedzone, its the same formula from the same company but also contains triclopyr which specifically will annihilate your creeping charlie
Hey Jim, thanks my friend! Check out this video I did on our favorite creeping Charlie herbicide, it works amazing: th-cam.com/video/bcCpBVKpcSk/w-d-xo.html
Hi bud, i usually use the teejet aixr11004vs nozzle but i couldnt find it when i was making this specific video so i used the stock 110 degree cap that came with the sprayers plus. BUT of coarse, since then i have found my teejet haha
So I planted a new lawn in the backyard. The seed is germinating however in some spots I'm getting a lot of baby weeds coming up. Should I spray them? Should I wait until they are bigger and pull them? My plan is to over seed those areas once I get the weeds taken care of. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
Awesome vid this was super helpful. My lawn is completely covered in these yellow bud looking weeds. Once they die can I put down lawn seed. Or should I apply seed before spraying. Thank you!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the response one more question. Is it ok to use a fertilizer after putting seed down. If I do so will it harm the grass? Thanks!
new to your channel im outta of work now and have time to tackle my messed up lawn , its summer here in nj and hot as hell lately i watched and saved most of your videos already ill also share to friends who like DIY lawn videos thanks enjoying all of them hopefully my lawn looks as good as yours next year
Tenacity, for sure. I'm in WI and use it spring and fall. Never have needed it during the warm months. My lot buts against a wooded area so the borders get a lot of dandelions and thistle . Tenacity keeps them in check. Great channel!!!
From Ontario Canada here. I was lucky enough to get some Par3 2-4D and tenacity shipped to me seeing we are not allowed to sell it in Ontario. And that combination has been working well for me. The surfactant is a must !!

Really liked your video. Going to start working on my yard. I also liked the Lexus GX in the driveway.
haha thanks dude, thats big blue! she's an 08 w only 60k miles! she's the best!
Good luck with your lawn!
Cheers from the southern US. I like to use a product called Blindside for all purpose weed control. Also works great for nutsedge. Keep up the quality content!
Thanks for sharing! i'm not a pro with the warm season herbicides so i appreciate the info!
I didn't use my speedzone tenacity combo this year and I did last year. Noticeable difference. I'll make sure I do it every year from now on
New to all this and have chickweed/hawkweed and wild strawberry taking over my lawn. Will be picking this stuff up and testing it out!!
Good luck!
I've been enjoying your videos the past couple weeks waiting for my Minnesota lawn to wake up. Moved into this place late last fall. Backyard dominated by creeping Charlie, did a huge soil top dress and smothered a bit of it. It's starting to creep towards my freshly germinated perennial ryegrass. Will be using tenacity and speed zone in a month or so when the grass is slightly older.
Thank you Colin! Much appreciated 😀
If creeping charlie is a major issue for you, may i suggest using Tzone instead of Speedzone, its the same formula from the same company but also contains triclopyr which specifically will annihilate your creeping charlie
@@PrincessCutLawnCare should the Tzone be combined with tenacity as well?
@@Colin.gallagher do you have grassy weeds too? if not, dont worry about the tenacity
i have been very impressed with the tenacity, where can i get the speed zone?
Amazon, do my own, blains farm and fleet
The third time is a charm on comments !!! George how did you measure your lawn ??
you can use the scotts app, it works great to measure your lawn
Hey George, great video buddy! What is your go to product for creeping Charlie thanks in advance. Appreciate it. Love your channel.
Hey Jim, thanks my friend!
Check out this video I did on our favorite creeping Charlie herbicide, it works amazing:

What spray nozzle do you use in this video? You are giving great advice, keep up the good work.
Hi bud, i usually use the teejet aixr11004vs nozzle but i couldnt find it when i was making this specific video so i used the stock 110 degree cap that came with the sprayers plus.
BUT of coarse, since then i have found my teejet haha
Great video - I have areas of my yard that is everything BUT grass... question, for wild strawberry, what will work for killing that vile weed?
Thanks for making this video. I live next to a huge open private lot that is out of control. This will definitely help me control my lawn!
No problem buddy, good luck! don't be afraid to cross the property line just a little bit 🤫🤫🤫
Tenacity, Speedzone and Blue Dye GREAT combination!! Thanks 😊👍
No problem! its a killer combo!
So I planted a new lawn in the backyard. The seed is germinating however in some spots I'm getting a lot of baby weeds coming up. Should I spray them? Should I wait until they are bigger and pull them? My plan is to over seed those areas once I get the weeds taken care of. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
Awesome vid this was super helpful. My lawn is completely covered in these yellow bud looking weeds. Once they die can I put down lawn seed. Or should I apply seed before spraying. Thank you!
Thanks justin! you can use tenacity before or during seeding but speedzone you have to wait 2 weeks
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the response one more question. Is it ok to use a fertilizer after putting seed down. If I do so will it harm the grass? Thanks!
new to your channel im outta of work now and have time to tackle my messed up lawn , its summer here in nj and hot as hell lately i watched and saved most of your videos already ill also share to friends who like DIY lawn videos thanks enjoying all of them hopefully my lawn looks as good as yours next year
Tenacity, for sure. I'm in WI and use it spring and fall. Never have needed it during the warm months. My lot buts against a wooded area so the borders get a lot of dandelions and thistle . Tenacity keeps them in check. Great channel!!!
Thanks!
Excellent presentation! Easy to follow and very straight forward.
thanks boss!
Watching this today and seeing that you have made it to 100k subscribers from the 10k you were at 3 years ago! Awesome work man, keep it up!
From Ontario Canada here. I was lucky enough to get some Par3 2-4D and tenacity shipped to me seeing we are not allowed to sell it in Ontario. And that combination has been working well for me. The surfactant is a must !!
Glad to hear a Canadian finally got the good stuff!
I am in Ontario as well. Where did you get the 24D and tenacity?
@@expressogino3971 Amazon I just used Amazon.com not .ca and there are a few sellers out of Florida they just fedex it and I had no issues it cost a bit more but worth it for me
Thank you for the awesome videos. Could you please let us know from where you buy tenacity ?
Here you go, cheapest price and comes w surfactant and blue dye : amzn.to/3Nfqbim
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thank you for the link :)
I see you pasted the link to Mesotrione, is it better than Tenacity ?
When would start watering again after tenacity and when can you apply fertilizer? Thanks nice video
Thx G another gr8 video. I’ll definitely am motivated to stay ahead of preventing the weeds from taking over my lawn this season.
