Factors to Consider

It controls a broad spectrum of common lawn weeds including dandelion, clover, dollar weed, and chickweed, but it does not kill existing crabgrass, only prevents new growth for up to four months.
Suitable for a variety of grass types such as Bahiagrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Bermudagrass, and Tall Fescue, making it versatile but important to ensure compatibility with your lawn species.
The coverage area of 4,000 square feet and the weight of 11.31 lbs cater well to medium-sized yards but might require multiple bags for larger lawns.
