Hello everyone,
I really can't get it under control—no matter how I pull, pluck, or scrub with a joint brush, I can’t manage the plants growing between the joints of my patio slabs.
After lifting a section completely, I noticed that the weeds and grass shoots don’t root into the gravel underneath but only spread within the joints. Therefore, I believe that a landscaping fabric placed below wouldn’t be very effective either.
Is there a product or method to permanently get rid of this growth?
Attached are some pictures

Well, it looks like the photo was taken either before or after the season.
As far as I know, you can’t fight nature (seeds float through the air and eventually settle on the ground). I don’t see this as a problem, since I’ve had a garden for over 30 years: at the start of the season, everything is tidied up and then stays that way throughout the summer.
This applies to weeds, fallen leaves, tree pruning, moss growth, dirt on garden furniture, and so on.
Next, the tiles turn green, which I find much worse because scrubbing them is more tiring than cleaning the grout lines.

hmm, looking at these pictures, I’m reminded again why we want WPC decking instead of stone 😉 We currently have stone at our rental place, with the same kind of growth… although we have more moss there, which doesn’t bother us. Anything that grows taller is either plucked out or burned away… it’s just a recurring maintenance task…

I have to admit that the picture is current BUT I can assure you that the regrowth happens so fast that you lose interest by summer
But you didn’t pluck last week, so that was after the season.
As I said: irrelevant 😉
