When weeds grow between paving slabs and paving stones, this also affects safety. However, chemical weed killers are taboo here. In addition to mechanical brushes and scrapers, motor-driven joint brushes, flame-removal devices and high-pressure cleaners provide a remedy.
Clean, tidy joints on patios and paths are a must for many garden owners - whether for visual or safety reasons. It's quite amazing what tiny niches some plants can still get a foothold in: Frugal species like horned sorrel even germinate in the narrow cracks between paving stones or sidewalk slabs. If the sand in the joints has mixed with a few decomposed leaves from last fall, the humus-rich mixture is enough for these plants as a breeding ground. The tiny seeds are usually carried by the wind. If the area is also in the shade and dries only slowly, moss and algae also feel at home on the stone surfaces.
A little greenery on the edge of the path bothers few garden owners, but if it grows luxuriantly, the surface becomes slippery and thus dangerous. The simplest and most effective control is regular sweeping: Then less organic material collects in the joints and the weed seeds are also decimated. If the plants have already taken root, they can be removed at least superficially with joint brushes.
The work can be done more quickly with electrically operated devices. Deep-seated plants are better reached with a joint scraper. A flaming device kills the plants: A gas-powered device reaches about 1000 °Celsius, so the growth immediately disintegrates into ash. With an electric flamer at 650 °Celsius, the plants die but do not decompose - both types of device are effective. Moss and algae can be easily removed from insensitive surfaces with a high-pressure cleaner.
Basically, you have to be aware that weeds will come back as long as there is organic material in the joints. Therefore, you should replace the sand from time to time. You can replace it with a weed-inhibiting product or grout the stones firmly right away.
What many garden owners do not know: The use of chemical weed killers is generally prohibited on paving stones, paved paths and squares - there is a fine of up to 50,000 euros! Even agents approved for the allotment garden may only be applied in beds or on the lawn, but not on paving stones or slabs. The reason for this is that the active ingredients are broken down in the garden soil, whereas on paved surfaces they can be washed into the sewage system by rain and thus into the water cycle. The ban also applies to "home remedies" such as vinegar and salt solutions.
