    We try to keep on top of the weeds coming through in our Grid Force driveway by hand pulling them for a couple of minutes each day.  You do have to try to pull the roots out too. We have had this driveway for approx 3 years now - it is layered onto a hard core base. We don't use weedkiller, because we value our wildlife visitors and try to encourage them into our garden.

    Spray with Pathclear twice a year.  Not had any detrimental effect on wildlife.

    I use weedkillers, whatever says it's for driveways. It's too big and I don't have time to hand weed it  and often as not the roots break off and don't come up so the weeds grow again.

    A pic of the weeds would help identify them and gain advice on how to treat 'em  image
