I have a gravel driveway and would like to permanently kill everything

grows there. I saturated the area with Roundup which killed some of the
weeds but not all, and after two weeks everything was growing again. I
sprayed it with Green Thumb Weed and Grass Killer and that also killed
only
some of the weeds. Has anyone had any experience with anything that will
permanently and totally kill weeds and grass and prevent regrowth for an
entire season?

Most weed killers only kil gowing weeds, Seeds are uneffected and will
sprout when ready
Roundup will need reapps..
I use Triox Vegetation killer years ago but it letches away with rain &
watering...............kills plants "downstream" Ooops!

Leaches/washes away. Sure does and then into our, or somebody else's, water
supply!
How come, for example, the North American Great Lakes are becoming so
polluted with chemicals. Chicago water supply here we come!
Driveways on the usually smaller urban lots are often already paved when you
buy the house or cost little to do so!
Coupla thousand maybe!
So whenever anyone mentions a 'gravel driveway' it envisions a rural area?
That often means either ground water or deeper drilled wells for domestic
supplies?
We have a well that today is unusable (certainly undrinkable) because of
various neighbours over the years having irresponsibly used pesticide and
herbicides. Sometimes for no better reason than a few dandelions!
Ah well; global warming, additional flooding and the increasing number of
typhoons etc. will take care of all of us. Let alone a few weeds!
