As title suggests. Weeds in paver drive have taken over, short of taking then off, leveling and putting weed barrier then laying them with polymeric sand… what can i do?
Sounds like you answered your own question I would go out with some salty vinegar, soap, water and spray everything down so it will die and then rinse and repeat when necessary

Weed torch 🔥

Don’t overthink it. Bleach it, wait an hr. Power wash. Repeat each spring.

Commercial property managers must have a solution for this, but I don’t know what it is.
To kill the weeds now I’d spray with glyphosate (haters in three, two, one). Then I’d investigate periodic application of pre-emergent herbicide. Perhaps alternating between Stonewall and Dimension granules? Broadcast it on the driveway, then broom it into the joints. It wouldn’t take very much.

Mine looks the same. I read baking soda for moss. Didn’t try it. Plan to attack next summer.
Pressure wash, remove any and all remaining weeds – however method. And was thinking from there, sand in any gaps and spray coat it.
Older lady here so will be doing sections at a time. It will get done but might take me a couple summers lol. Or maybe start this fall.

I’d say keep it looks better with the weeds.

I’m gonna combine most of thee advice here – spray vinegar with salt/soap to dry out the leaves, and THEN blast them with a weed torch because they’ll burn better and its more fun
don’t use weed barriers, they make a mess and don’t work.
Try to clear out the gunk between cracks with your hose and then (once dry!) spread some poly sand.

Lean into it. It looks great.

Looks like driving on it works for removing weeds. Just vary your parking and eventually you’ll get‘em all.

Pull or spray.

Strimmer with a wire wheel to take the surface level weeds out.
Glyphosate coating and let it sit for a week or two.
Pressure wash the driveway.
Add polymeric sand.
Have a brew.

A power washer might cut a lot of it out.
Weed torch is probably the best option but fire can be hazardous

Pressure washer, broom, blower, poly sand and a big bag of weed.

pressure wash and re-sand the area.
to keep future growth from reoccurring, spray with a mixture of salt and heavy duty vinegar.

For weeds near other plants I want to keep, I fill the kettle with water, boil and douse. For sidewalk weeds I use a chemical and spray.

introduce moss to fill the cracks, it’s lovely and stops the weeds.

I know there’s a wire brush attachment that can go on a string trimmer. That would get those weeds out of the cracks.
