Best Weed Killer For Gravel Driveways 

I inherited a small house and trying to keep weeds in the gravel driveway under control have been driving me insane for about 2 years. Thank you for the tip on this product.

I see alot of good ideas here. Try adding a surfactant or sticking agent to get the product to stick to the leaves, some folks use dish soap. This will also allow you to cut back on how much grass killer you have to use. Spray on warmer sunny days with little to no wind to avoid the drift on the desired lawn.. I have someone who also adds a pre emergent like "PREEN" for garden weed control over the driveway to Aid in vegetation control. Also avoid throwing any grass clippings on to the driveway when cutting the grass. Hope this helps.

I have a 1/2 acre gravel parking lot and tested several herbicides on 1000 sq ft sections measured out so the test would be completely fair using 6 oz per gal. and the Roundup 365 kept the weeds down the best over a 5 month period spring thru summer a lot better then the RM43 that I had to constantly respray with regular Roundup. I even tried bags of cattle salt which worked but didn't last long. Roundup 365 is not cheap but kept weeds at bay the best. Next spring will be trying Prodiamine 65 pre emergent herbicide ,it's cheap and more effective so I've been told.

Thanks for the video, it's nice to see what other people are using. I bought a product called Diquat and it is listed as an aquatic herbicide but it works really well on dry land too. I use 1oz, per gallon and it turns the weeds brown in two days. The question is how long will it last?

Round Up 365 seems to last longer than RM43 I was using RM43 for a few years & it does work but realized there wasn't much price difference in Round Up 365 and RM43. Once you kill the grass spraying Pramitol on bare ground seems to help keep vegetation from coming back.

I use the same product. I would recommend adding the herbicide before filling with water to mix properly. Removing the spray nozzle from the hose will prevent it from foaming so bad.

I have the same exact situation. What do you do to clean up the dead weeds?

Thanks for the video, i have recently moved into a new house with a very large gravel drive way that i have sprayed, whats the best way to get all the dead weeds off the ground , I used a leaf blower but not joy, do i have to use a spade and clean out the stones ? Or does anyone have any good suggestions . Thanks :)

I noticed that the wind is blowing pretty hard. Look at the flag. Best organic & most economical household product is vinager. Works great.

Is this safe around dogs and other pets?

and NOW THAT THEY ARE DEAD HOW DO YOU REMOVE THEM

better watch that little dog or it will posion itself

Thanks, I’ve been trying organic methods but it doesn’t last long at all.

Nope. if you just use glyphosate, weeds will die but then come back in 30 days. You can spray a spot then see a new flush of poa in cold season, or crabgrass in summer. That is not a pre-emergent and is just a temporary fix. I am going to look into Pramitol as it is a pre emergent. I just don't have time to go through the process you lay out here every 30 days!

First you should not spray when pets are outdoors. Second you are way over spraying. One swip over an area will kill the weeds. The rest is just a waist of product. Surfactant and lazer chemical dye should also be used with this product. The dye will help you see where you have already sprayed and it will fade in a few days.

You would think they would make the sprayer wands longer.

Where is the part of the driveway where it was effective?

Hmm mate I wish you would wear some better protective clothing as seem of these chemicals are really very toxic. I use a combination of glyphosate, bindii and clover killer, dishwashing liquid, and a tree killer for maximum effect.

Anyone find this in Canada?

You should put your dog inside if your pet licks it your dog could die.

Or just spray vinegar on it..

I've used this stuff....not pet friendly. Took over a week to work. The worst part is if your a shade tree mechanic or like washing your car in the back yard...FORGET IT. Doesn't matter how long it sits it will transfer to other areas like dead grass tire marks in yard and rain will make it run in yard too. Awsome for fence line but causes damage everywhere else.

It's glyphosate and that is a carcinogen.

Stop using these poisons.

Chemicals?.....NEXT !!!
