Is there some chemical made to stop this?


Is there some reason why you cannot get down on yer knees and pull the
weeds?


Pulling them disturbs the dirt that's there, which just makes it
easier for more weeds to grow. Also, many times with pulling, you
just break off the top of the weed, the rest stays and continues to
grow.

There is special sand you use to fill the gap between blocks. It settle
like a hard rock preventing weed growth. I bought and used this stuff
from HD when I prepared my front patio.
