Block paving drive weeds

[r4vvm]

Hi,

I know this has probably been asked a million times but could not find anything in the search.

Is there a weed killer i can put on my block paving driveway to kill all the weeds.

I am always pulling them out every few weeks, but my driveway is quite big and would be easier if i can just spray the whole drive to kill these.

Thanks

Pathclear, glyphosate....any good quality brand will do it.

Sodium Chlorate used tio be the death juice of choice but it's not legel for civilians any longer (and rightly so!)

Think Glyphosate is going the same way....

Is it? What will we have left? Salty water???

I'm curently battling an invasion of Mare's Tails from my new-ish neighbour, who, unlike the previous occupant, has buggerall interest in maintaining the garden and is letting it revert to meadow. This is what happens when I'm denied the power of veto over potential new neighbours!

Anyway, glyphosate is the only thing I've found that will travel down to the roots and kill the whole thing, not just the bit above ground level.

Thanks - where is the best place to get it from?

Any of the DIY sheds, I suppose.

I got a big 5 litre pack of Resolva from Costco at the start of Spring and it's lasted me well enough.

whats the best way to apply Glyphosate

Spray, if suitable, or via fine rose

Which paving is good? Asphalt or Blacktop?

[Tony McC]

Good for what?

And why raise this in a discussion about block paving?

Thanks - When i spray this on my drive way.
Would it be ok to jet wash the drive day after or should i wait a week for it to kill all the weeds?

Weedkill it and leave at least 3 weeks for it to work into the root structure, then remove all weeds. Not a fan of pressure washing CBP, it takes the fines out of the face of the blocks and makes them rougher which helps moss etc take hold!
