Block paving sand with weedkiller
Discussion
I have a large block paved drive, and keep on top of any weeds by using a K'archer pressure washer with a "turbo" lance attachment every six weeks or so in summer.
Over the years I have tried every block paved drive weedkiller you can think of without success.
My next door neighbour bought four tubs of stuff last year costing £200 in total, brushed it in and said to me "It's expensive but it's the dogs bks, this will sort it once and for all"
Now, twelve months later, his weed riddled drive is as bad as ever, it was totally useless...

I don't think any residual weedkiller is rated for 12 months. ATEOTD you're fighting nature, and nature always wins.Now, twelve months later, his weed riddled drive is as bad as ever, it was totally useless...

Kiln dried sand is only £5 a bag from Wickes which goes a long way.
Nothing beats regular use of roundup. It does work it just needs to be applied every couple of months imo. Best thing is a sprayer which is cheap and to spray the average drive takes minutes.
If block paving gets left it will get weeds, its as simple as that.
I haven't used that dansand stuff but have heard its not that great.
