Hi, I've not posted for ages, been really busy with work, Hurrah. I've recently been asked by 2 clients about stopping weed growth in Block paved drives. The weeds are airborne seed growth, not coming up through any dodgy sub-bases, by the way. I want to know what's the best answer to give them? One of the drives is in clay blocks and only 3 months laid and the other is probably 2 years old. None of the growth is bad, and a little bit of maintenance on behalf of the clients would easily sort, but that's not how people are, they don't want the bother. So any one got nay definite solutions I can offer? :)

Mick,
If you don't want to change the appearance of the surface, then Resiblock 22 could be one answer, works on both clay & CBP.

Cheers Roger, I'll look into that. It's not an area we normally cover, but I'm asked more and more for it, just need to work some costs out and possibly get hold of a Paving cleaner head for the pressure washer. I think that's what put me off is the need to get the necessary equipment, and will it pay to push the service, on top of an already busy schedule?
