Q: Our concrete driveway was poured with wooden spacers between the sections. Now the wood has rotted and weeds have taken over. How can I get rid of them?
A: Whether you have a driveway, patio or garden path paved with concrete, bricks or flagstones, you're almost certain to be doing battle with weeds at some point. Although the narrow spaces between pieces of the paving don't seem like an ideal place to grow, weeds seem to find what they need there. Yanking them out isn't always easy. And they're sure to come back. There are effective ways to keep the paving looking tidy, but the best solution really depends on the situation.
