    Why We Use Roundup: Because It Works

    When it comes to controlling stubborn weeds fast and effectively, there’s one product that consistently gets results: Roundup.Yes — we know it’s controversial. You’ve probably heard about bans in certain countries or seen mixed opinions online. So let’s address the facts openly and honestly.

    Is Roundup Safe?

    Roundup contains glyphosate, a herbicide that’s been used safely by professionals for decades. Is it a “good” chemical? Not necessarily. But when handled correctly, it’s low-risk and highly effective. When applied by trained professionals, in the right conditions and amounts, Roundup is safe to use around your home.
    In fact, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) — Australia’s national regulator for agvet chemicals — has confirmed that glyphosate does not pose a health risk when used according to the label. There is no scientific reason to ban its use in Australia.

    Why Is Roundup Banned in Some Countries?

    Some overseas regions have restricted or banned glyphosate mainly due to ongoing legal battles, political pressure, or concerns about misuse in agricultural settings. But that’s not how we use it.At MD Lawns & Driveways, our use is:
    • Targeted, not broadcast over entire areas
    • Carefully mixed and measured
    • Applied only in the right conditions (no wind, no rain)
    • Left to fully dry before any foot traffic resumes
    Once dry (usually within 1 hour), Roundup poses no risk to pets, children, or lawns.

    Why We Still Use Roundup

    We’ve tested alternative products over the years, and frankly, nothing matches Roundup for fast, reliable weed control. It works, and when applied correctly, it works safely. It’s especially effective for:
    • Bindii, clover, and broadleaf weeds
    • Grassy weeds in driveways, pavers, and garden edges
    • Weed regrowth in hard-to-reach cracks and fence lines
    The result? A cleaner, neater property without hours of hand-pulling or repeat treatments.

    Applied by Professionals — Not Just Anyone

    We’re not your average backyard DIYers. Every treatment is:
    • Handled by trained, experienced team members
    • Applied with professional-grade equipment
    • Followed up with clear aftercare advice
    • Compliant with all local regulations
    You won’t see us spraying on windy days, overwatering, or using excess product. We do it right — because your family and pets deserve a safe outdoor space.
