Gap between driveway & sidewalk

6 years ago

What should I use to kill the weeds (forever) that grow in the gap between my driveway and the side walk? And once the weeds are gone what should I fill the gap with?

Pour salt brine in the crack. It may affect your lawn nearby too, but so will herbicides.

How wide is the gap?

If you clean it out real nice you could fill it in with polyurethane sealant. The asphalt should abut right up next to the concrete.

Look for an extended control weed and grass killer that lasts 6 months. It won't be forever, but it should last for most of the growing season. I use it on our limestone patio. Weeds like to grow between the spaces between the pieces of limestone. Be careful not to get it on the rest of the grass.
