Best Ways to Get Rid of Weeds on Patios and Driveways?

Asked by GreenThumbGamer77
I'm looking for effective methods to clear weeds from my patio and driveway. I've tried pulling them out by hand, using vinegar sprays, and various commercial weed killers, but nothing seems to be long-lasting. Recently, I found a super strong weed killer that eliminates weeds and moss right down to the root, and I saw results in just a day! I'm curious about what others use – do you stick to manual removal or rely on sprays?

Honestly, I think using gasoline along with a flame works wonders. Just be careful with the torch! It's quick and pretty effective, but you obviously need to take precautions.

I've found that just pulling them manually is the quickest method! But you should keep in mind that they will come back eventually due to seeds being scattered by the wind or even birds.

I use a mix of 45% vinegar with a dash of Dawn dish soap and salt. It works really fast against weeds. Definitely a more natural option compared to harsh chemicals!
