Hello,
I have an elevated driveway where I’m dealing with a minor weed problem.
The gaps between the paving stones are a few centimeters wide (see photos).
When I purchased the property, these joints were filled.
However, the previous owner had to have them reopened by the city because the water was draining into the sewer system.
The water must, of course, infiltrate on the property itself.
The area is about 60m² (650 sq ft).
There is standard gravel beneath the paving stones.
Does anyone have experience with how to solve this weed issue?
Jointing sand? No-grow additive?
Basalt gravel 1–3mm (0.04–0.12 inches)?
Weed membrane and re-laying the pavers?
Blowing out everything between the joints?

Please do not use salt on the ground; it is no coincidence that this is prohibited in winter against snow.
If it bothers you that much, why not fill the joints with concrete again and prevent rainwater from running into the sewer with a drainage channel and infiltration system? Or is that also not allowed?

No, only on public roads, and even there it depends on the local municipality regulations. This is also the case here in winter. But no problem, our street is 3 meters (10 feet) wide, and when the spreading vehicle has passed, some material also ends up on the sidewalk. Still, we have weeds every year.
And you are allowed to use it on private property.
But hey, no problem, alternatively Roundup is still available for purchase.

This weed killer from Neudorff contains carcinogenic residues (hydrazine, absorbable through the skin). Interesting and new information for me. I couldn’t find anything about this—could you please share your source?
