Weeds in cracks

[largeinnit]

Hi,

I've recently had my drive paved about 6 months ago. The problem I now have is that weeds are beginning to appear between the brick work.

Whats the best way to remove these weeds from re-appearing?

I was going to hand pick, use weed killer and re-cement, but am just wondering if there's a better alternative?

thanks in advance

Weedkiller. Depending on the type of paving, you might want to consider using a sealant, which will prevent future weeds from getting themselves established, but you have to choose the right sealant for the paving you have.

The "Weed Wands" featured in Gadget mags and the Sunday Glossies are useless, and too expensive. A good dousing with weedkiller 2 or 3 times each year will keep everyhting under control.

cheers for the info I'll give it a go. My paving type is basket weave using silver sand.

thanks

Basketweave is your paving pattern - the paving type is block (or brick) paving!

The actual pattern has no effect on the efficacy of the various weedkillers, but the type of paving, ie, whether it's bitmac, stone flags or block pavers, does have a bearing. :)
