Default Re: Keeping drivway weeds down

One of the problems with working the gravel on the driveway is you are making it thinner every time you do this. Gravel needs to be a minimum of four inches thick to lock together. When you scrape it, you are taking off some of the rock in one place and moving it to another. When it rains, some of this material is lost. Over time, this happens anyway, but you are just speeding up the process.

The best way to get rid of weeds is to kill them with a spray. If that isn't an option, you can burn them with a torch that is designed for this.
