Roundup is a toxic carcinogen! We haven’t used that crap in 15+ years, a solution of vinegar, salt and dishwashing liquid will work on weeds , especially on patios and gravel driveways. As to the conversation at hand, a stealth operation to cut the problem plants to the ground is in order. Keep at it and eventually they won’t come back.
