How to get rid of weeds in interlocking

Weed in interlocks  an Issue for aurora landscaping

weeds are not growing from beneath the interlocking stone. There is no such weed that can grow from 10″ or even 4″ compacted gravel base and find its way to throw brick joints. seeds usually travel by wind and trap between the brick joints. All they need in order to germinate is a bit of dust and moisture.

Weed control methods:

Organic method:

Living and landscaping in aurora for more than 20 years now, i understood that use Horticultural winger in your garden spray and wash the entire weed area.  do not dilate with water

Make sure you apply it on hot sunny days. It is important to follow the local weather forecast to make sure there is no rain in the next 48 hours.

Chemical method:

Before using any chemical weed killer, make sure you read the labels and follow all the safety precautions.

It is very important to follow the direction of each product. Never use these products to control weeds in your lawn. If you use your garden sprayer, make sure you mark that sprayer to be only used for weed killer in the paving stone area.

If you are planning to have an interlocking paving stone for your driveway, walkway, or patio, you should consider applying polymeric sand between the brick joints. Ask your contractor about the polymeric sand and its benefits. Make sure to choose the right contractor who is certified or at least is a member of landscape Ontario.

How to apply polymeric sand:

Usually, 2 applications with one compaction between will be sufficient to fill the brick joints of the interlocking paving stone. If you are going to do it yourself; make sure to remove all the excessive sand after the compaction. Use a blower to lightly remove the remaining dust from the surface of the paving stone. while using a blower,  do not get too close to the surface of the paving stone since you may remove the polymeric sand from the brick joints.

The next step will be misting and washing. ( read the direction of the use on the bag). Use a garden hose to lightly mist all the paved area, wait for 5 to 8 minutes then wash the entire paved area. do not apply the water in high pressure.

It is recommended to apply the polymeric sand every 2 years in order to maintain the interlocking paving stone.
