After removing weeds, lay sheets of landscaping fabric along the entire section of the driveway and then cover it with gravel. Before adding gravel to strengthen the weed barrier, place mulch over the top of the landscaping fabric.

Can you put salt on a gravel driveway?
Sprinkle a 50/50 mixture of sand and rock salt on your gravel driveway. The rock salt will melt the snow and ice and give your tires traction. Sand and salt should be applied to your driveway to keep it clear of ice and snow.
How do I permanently get rid of grass?
Cut the grass to a short length and then cover the area with plastic or glass. You can hold the plastic down with rocks, soil staplers, boards or whatever you have handy. Don’t rush it because it can take a few weeks to kill the caterpillars. Once you’ve got your caterpillar under control, it’s time to move on to the next stage of the life cycle.
This is where you’ll find the pupa stage. The pupae are tiny little things, about the size of a grain of rice, and they’ll take about a week or so to develop into a butterfly. Once they’re fully developed, the butterfly will emerge from its cocoon and fly off into the wild.
How do you shovel a gravel driveway?
This will allow you to shovel just above the surface of the gravel and keep your shovel out of the dirt. Place the bucket of gravel in the center of your work area. The bucket should be at least 3 feet from the floor. If you don’t have a 3-foot bucket, you can use a smaller bucket that will fit inside the larger bucket.
Make sure that your bucket is level and that you have enough space between it and the work surface so that it won’t tip over when you’re shoveling. You can also place a piece of plywood on top of it to help keep it from tipping over, but this isn’t necessary if you are using a 2-by-4 or a 1/4-inch thick sheet of wood.
Can you lay grass on top of concrete?
The base of real turf can’t provide good depth and drainage, so it’s not suitable for use over concrete. Before installing artificial turf, make sure there are no bumps and gaps.
Can you put sod on top of concrete?
Do not attempt to lay sod over concrete. To form a healthy lawn, sod needs at least 6 inches (15 cm) of soil below it in order to send down strong roots. If you wish to lay sod in an area that is currently paved, you must first remove the concrete, level and grade the area so that the sod can be laid on top of the soil.
If you are laying sod on a paved area, it is best to do so in a well-maintained area where there are no weeds or other weeds that could cause damage to the grass. It is also a good idea to use a lawn mower to cut down on weeds and grass clippings that may be on the surface.
What to put under slabs to stop weeds?
Jointing compounds are a sand product that is brushed into the gaps between your slabs and set over 24 hours. It is more effective in stopping weeds than any other product on the market, because it provides a firm joint between your paving slabs.
How do I get rid of grass between paving stones?
Baking soda is used to quickly remove weeds between paving stones. Sprinkle baking soda over the paving stones that have weeds. Using a broom, brush the baking soda into the cracks that hold the weeds in place. Baking soda can also be used as a soil conditioner. It can be applied to the surface of the soil and then allowed to sit for a day or two before watering.
