Does Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer prevent weeds?

Yes! This product prevents weeds from growing for up to a year. Remember, apply only to areas where you don't want growth. Desired plants planted after application will not grow, as the product remains active in the soil for 1 year.

To avoid damage to desirable plants, DO NOT apply over their root systems. For shrubs and trees, DO NOT apply closer than twice the distance from the trunk to the drip line as roots may be within this area.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works! This stuff performs well as you can see by the attached photos. It easily killed a dandelion in the crack between pavers. The only complaint I have it the sprayer included with the bottle leaked therefore getting the product on my hands. I quickly washed it off and will use PPE moving forward to ensure it doesn't get on my skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast acting, easy to use weed and grass killer! I’m really impressed with the Ortho Ground Clear Weed and Grass Killer! It was easy to use, and the comfort wand made it simple to target the weeds without having to bend over or worry about spraying areas I wanted to keep. I started seeing results quickly, which was a huge plus. Overall, it’s an easy to use and effective product that makes keeping my yard looking neat and well maintained much easier.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great for thick grass in my yard First of all I would say this thing is strong scent of a chemical so I had to use mask .Setting this thing up is so easy and I really like the secure lock and string to stretch for spraying.I have used this to the thick grass in my area to really see the difference and even tried this in the vines that were spreading out.I did the first application and I would say that this really did a huge difference from being so thick to a thin and starting to dry out.The next few days it rained and I had to skip application and re-apply and I would say it went to a point where it’s almost completely eliminated after the second application knowing that it’s very thick grass and full grown.I really like this because it works and I could tell that by the third application this will completely eliminate the grass issue.I like that it doesn’t leave anything because it just killed the grass and I like the quality of this product that it is effective.Overall this is very useful as for me even for the vines because it helps a lot and killed mostly even how thick of a grass that I have in my area.I would surely use this again.
