Weed Control with no Lawn
 

Do no have any grass, only gravel landscaping. Having trouble finding anybody to do weed control. Deans, Massey and Tru-green will not do it for only gravel. Any suggestions?

Weeding, trimming, leaf blowing....

We were told to use regular salt and it seems to work better than roundup or similar products.

Round up

Roundup.

Or as an alternative - Vinegar with some salt in it. Kills some weeds quickly. Others need a few applications. Works pretty good.

If you’re home few years old the weed barrier under rocks has enough dirt in it to sprout weeds. Over time wind blows dust in that builds up. Plus if previous owners planted plants and they died? Now you got hole in the ground cover barrier. I try roundup them while there are just sprouting, easier to kill that way.

What he said. Get a little squirt bottle and spend 5 minutes a month on it. No big deal

If you care at all about your health and the health of the creatures we coexist with, you might do some research on roundup and its link to cancer.

Ground control
 

Go to Lowes and get a gallon of weed killer and spray your rocks.

spectricide works much better than roundup for me. or spray vinegar...no big deal

Use this with the dish soap. Haven't tried it with the oil. Works really well.

Vinegar Weed Killer
• 1 Gallon White Vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon Liquid Dish Soap or Vegetable Oil
• 1 Cup Salt (only if you don’t want to replant there)

That recipe works really well if there isn't a weed fabric down under your stones. Liquid has a difficult time getting at the roots to kill the plant. You will kill anything above ground, may have to go back a couple of times to finish it off. Also, I use a lb of Epsom Salts instead of table salt.

Contact A Woman's Touch Landscaping on Facebook. Heather took care of our no grass lawn this week along with trimming. She did a great job.

spectraside then spread Preen, it kills the seeds

I use 1/4 cup Dawn dish soap, 2 cups Epson Salt and 1 gal white vinegar in a sprayer.
