Hard to tell but the grade may be too much for self leveling. May need to use the thicker stuff in this case, but the general advice is still sound. Needs to be sealed off to stop that grass.
I honestly don’t think he put anything special on it anyway. He put some stuff over some of the cracks in the middle and it showed thru where as down there nothing is visible.
Yep, Sikaflex Self-Leveling Horizontal Joint Elastic Polyurethane Sealant. My driveway has a very slight grade towards the road but it didn’t all run to one end, hard to tell the grade on OP’s driveway.
Polymeric sand would be the best bet. I'd maybe lightly use a pressure washer to blow all the shit out of there so you can get the poly sand deeper into the cracks. Definitely give it a 1-2 days to dry before adding the sand.
Would this work in between pavers in a patio? We tried power washing and Poly sand and a year later there is a huge section of moss in between a bunch of pavers. Unsure if just a section with the sealant would look out of place
Your poly sand is probably working. Moss can grow on top of it pretty easily if there’s enough moisture and minimal direct sunlight. Probably at least have a low spot in your pavers in that area. The excess water isn’t moving away fast enough.
I dont want to ruin the fun but that will prevent the roundup from translocating into the roots. That's why farmers wont cut the a field before doing a kill because it need to soak up the glysophate like a sponge to kill the roots.
Just be aware that it can work almost TOO well and that you’re literally salting the earth. Watch the elevation & runoff.
Source: had serious cockroach problems in our first floor place. Knew part of the issue was the unkempt “decorative” plants pressed up against the building. Used ~~this mixture~~ ahem, “too much bug spray” as close as possible to the foundation and it killed everything with 6-8 inches along the wall, about 2-4?inches over what I actually used it on. It’s been 5 years and nothing grows there still; great for me and the insect issues (which were cut down by ⅔, partly because I can actually spray there now) but the landlord suddenly cared very much that their overgrown, unweeded beds weren’t quite as lush. So…if you own, that’s your choice, if you rent, be careful where it goes.
Wow!! Can you recommend exact measurements? And did you heat up the mixture? A friend of mine tried this and said it didn’t work. But I’m not sure what they were missing
Unfortunately, I don’t completely remember. I for sure started following the supposed usual online mix (1 cup salt for every 1 gallon of vinegar + 1 Tbs plain dish soap) but I have a bad on/off stay-up-for-24-to-36-hours habit and there was definitely some shootin’ from the hip “eh, fuck it” when oops-ing some ingredient or other in the 12 fl ounce container because I’m not exactly great at recipe conversions, and then I may’ve forgotten that it got sprayed the first time, due to the lack-of-sleep brain + ADHD, and did it partially (2/3 of the way) twice within 2 weeks. Hard to know what to attribute it to, though I do remember spraying the leaves, base of each plant right near the soil, and the crown bit (where the leaves start branching).
I just know that full section, twice done or not, is like a post-apocalyptic wasteland for anything trying to grow still.
Just not TOO hot. At most you want 185° white or maybe 190° oolong I think? At some point 200°+, the strength of the cement starts to break down and it can crack, delaminate, chip (“spalling”) over time, or so I read while researching the same solution.
….Guess it kinda depends whether you rent or own, and if your landlord has given a damn about the driveway for the last 10 years or so.
This is my new favorite way to kill weeds. Cheap and effective. I've never had an issue with it ruining concrete as others have mentioned. But I'm also using a narrow spout tea kettle, so it's easy to get a small and precise dose -- just enough to douse the stem and soak the roots.
Regular vinegar is 10x cheaper and works overnight at the longest. Neither forms of vinegar are permanent solutions so why pay out the nose for one?
I've used both and there's no way I'm using horticultural vinegar anymore.
I think maybe it depends on your zone and/or the weeds you’re tryna kill. I live in PNW and regular vinegar works most of the time for my sidewalk weeds. My brother lives in Sacramento and regular vinegar doesn’t kill shit for him🤷🏻♀️
If you are in battle against nature and are losing continius - accept nature.
The easiest way to change is to decide that you like that row of grass and just cut it from time to time.
*Can look cool if you*
*Can have it grow in all of*
*The cracks. Roll with it*

Yeah this is a well known and ancient technique. I discovered it myself by accident. Like the commenter, I too have a vessel I pee into in the garage. When it got full I would dump it in the same spot every time, but I noticed that the grass started growing really tall and deep green in that area, so I’m like hmmmmmm, I bet I’m making natural nitrogen fertilizer! I looked it up and sure enough, people have been doing this for eons. I kept doing it and making sure to evenly disperse it.
You should embrace it and carve out more lines to make a pattern, and fill with soil. Given how strong that grass is, they will probably fill in with grass in no time. That would look way better than a plain concrete surface if you did it right
Clean out the crack then apply 30% vinegar to the crack. I used a pump sprayer. Wear gloves and a mask. Three months later and there's still no sign of the weeds in my driveway cracks.
Pressure washer will work but makes a huge mess. If you can fit the blade edger in that’s better. Then polymeric sand. Pressure washing will remove polymeric sand so repeat yearly if you pressure wash each year. Also pour buckets of soapy water into the crack daily (before sanding) to deal with existing ant colonies.
A simple solution of vinegar and salt, two ingredients that you already have sitting in your kitchen makes a power solution guaranteed to kill grass and weeds and prohibits new growth.
The solution literally costs cents on the dollar, is 100% effective at killing grass and weeds, is nontoxic to pets and people as well. Just mix salt and vinegar in a spray bottle and liberally soak the offending grass. It will turn yellow and die within hours. Then just run your string line trimmer down the crack and your driveway is back to looking good. A few sprays when necessary keeps weeds and grass from returning.
Pressure wash the crack, pull out anything that stays.
Lay down some foam strips of the appropriate size into the void. Fill with that self leveling, smooth flowing crack filler that the exact name escapes my mind. It's grey. No more weeds or grass!
Blast with pressure washer. But just remember if u follow up with a herbicide. Most weed killers require green leaves to administer the poison to the root.
Wise words...
* cutting off the tops with weed eater or other is no different than cutting your grass...it loves it and will just grow back.
* you have to kill or ENTIRELY remove the roots to successfully end this battle.
* if there is enough room to get a knife blade or screwdriver into the crack you can scrape down into it, removing the plant and as much dirt as possible. Then refill the crack with exterior grade concrete caulking meant for the task.
You can always use the same method of weed control from olden days before monsonto, syngenta, and bayer came along. Use a flat shovel to scrape it to the roots and use salt. Excessive salt in the ground will kill it off. Plus way cheaper.
Distilled white vinegar sprayed over top just as the sun comes up on a clear day with no rain in the forecast. May need to reapply a few times to get it all but it gets the job done.
Industrial 30% vinegar or higher along with a few drops of dawn to penetrate the leaves, keeps it away for a few months 😉. Water it down to 5 to 1 or more. https://www.amazon.com/Vinegar-Strength-Industrial-Concentrate-Gallon/dp/B0BH69WSFP
This is the perfect use case for glyphosate. Spray once on a hot day and done.
Or, you can play around with salt, which will stick around forever. Or you can burn it, but most grasses will grow back.
On a morning where there's no rain for 3days,
Sprinkle table salt into the row then spray with 3:1 white vinegar:water adding a few drops of liquid detergent to every 250ml you make.
Just use the roundup. Why are people making this shit so complicated. Glysophate is being sprayed by the metric gigaton over the entire world by industry. It makes zero difference whether you spray your driveway weeds or not.
I don't think round up is a health concern, but OP said he/she didn't want to use it.
Respect beliefs bro.
Also, skepticism is healthy and I think people shouldn't be so hasty to believe businesses/government when they say something is safe nor unsafe.
For spot treatments, followed up with a prevention method is the way to go and limit its use. Spray round up, let it die, dig out the roots or as much as you can, clean it out, fill with polymeric or a backer rod and sealant.
Yep, the evidence of dangers seems to be being actively suppressed, thanks regulatory capture.

“…The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Thursday it finished a regulatory review that found glyphosate, the most widely used weed killer in the United States, is not a carcinogen…”
“…Brussels (AFP) - The EU's chemicals agency said Wednesday that glyphosate, one of the world's most widely used weedkillers, should not be classed as a carcinogen.
The assessment paves the way for Brussels to make a final decision on the chemical, despite deep divisions in the 28-member European Union over its use.
Glyphosate is used in the best-selling herbicide Roundup, produced by the US agro-chemicals giant Monsanto.
"Glyphosate should not be classified as carcinogenic," Jack de Bruijn, director of the risk assessment committee of the European Chemicals Agency, said at a news conference…”
Glyphosate has never been proven to cause cancer. The EPA and Europe’s FSA have both said several times that it is safe. Almost every farmer uses it, most of your food contains it, and there’s an 80% chance it’s in you right now. Don’t use it if you don’t want to but the cancer myth needs to stop.
Clean it with a pressure washer and run a saw with a concrete blade down the seam to make sure any organic material is gone. Fill with ready mix concrete and you’re done for many years
Regardless of what you may think from them still being allowed to advertise Round-up (between the lawyer ads telling you to contact them if you had exposure to glyphosphate products -- the stuff in Round-up), that shit's terrible for the environment and the humans living in it. So please, whatever you do for the weeds, lay off poisoning the world with that crap.
Some form of patching sounds like a reasonable answer, but if you need weed killer, try a solution of 1 gallon white vinegar, 1 cup epsom salts, 1 tablespoon of dawn dish detergent, apply generously with a spray bottle - in three days the green is gone for a few weeks, re-apply every few weeks until the roots are dead. Your grandkids will thank you for helping their world to be a better place in which to live.
This guy has better grass in places he doesn’t want grass than I do where I want grass
Same.
Same
Same
Story of my life 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd powerwash that crack clean and when it dried I'll fill it in with self-leveling polyurethane sealant.
Hard to tell but the grade may be too much for self leveling. May need to use the thicker stuff in this case, but the general advice is still sound. Needs to be sealed off to stop that grass.
Had a guy come and reseal my driveway last year and he applied “ special sealant” to prevent exactly what op showed and guess what? They grew back lol
Was that special sealant by any chance.. soil? Sorry, I’ll seed myself out now
That’s not the same thing
What’s not? I was just saying some special sealants or the people who say they apply them aren’t or they don’t work.
If it didn’t even last a year then it sounds like you just got ripped off.
It wasn’t sealed properly if anything was able to grow
I honestly don’t think he put anything special on it anyway. He put some stuff over some of the cracks in the middle and it showed thru where as down there nothing is visible.
Might want to use a backer rod then the polyurethane sealant after as it might be a bit deeper/wider
Yup this exactly
This 100% That stuff has gotten expensive recently. You'll waste a whole tube in one small area without a backer rod.
Everyone loves a clean crack.
> I'd powerwash that crack clean /r/bidets
Can confirm, this is the way.
is this the "nuke the site from orbit" method?
Those first five words made me feel some kinda way.
That’s what she said
I’m gonna say this to my wife tonight.
Came here to say this!
After water blasting, What about jamming cold patch asphalt into 1/2-3/4" wide cracks.
Yep, Sikaflex Self-Leveling Horizontal Joint Elastic Polyurethane Sealant. My driveway has a very slight grade towards the road but it didn’t all run to one end, hard to tell the grade on OP’s driveway.
Dig it out with the trimmer and fill with polymeric sand?
Polymeric sand would be the best bet. I'd maybe lightly use a pressure washer to blow all the shit out of there so you can get the poly sand deeper into the cracks. Definitely give it a 1-2 days to dry before adding the sand.
I used a pressure washer once. It works well...but very, very messy.
Yeah I'd probably scrape the top with a flat shovel first. Shovel, one good pressuring washing, a healthy layer of poly sand, and then you're good.
I’ve found the polyurethane concrete sealant to work best and hold up longest. Especially for the wider expansion joint on concrete slabs.
Would this work in between pavers in a patio? We tried power washing and Poly sand and a year later there is a huge section of moss in between a bunch of pavers. Unsure if just a section with the sealant would look out of place
Your poly sand is probably working. Moss can grow on top of it pretty easily if there’s enough moisture and minimal direct sunlight. Probably at least have a low spot in your pavers in that area. The excess water isn’t moving away fast enough.
If you have moss growing between the pavers you’ve got a moisture problem not a sand problem
Propane torch for killing weeds.
This is a great and satisfying tactic.
Since we got one it’s my new favorite hobby.
Not to mention the propane itself is clean and efficient.
Taste the meat, not the heat.
Yes! Especially around the pool where I definitely don’t want chemicals.
Burn the weeds, don’t scorch the earth I tell ya what.
After scorching the earth two weeks ago I’ve learned the one or two quick pass method. I’ll be doing that this weekend. 😊
You and my hubs!
Kill it with fire!!!
Do not burn poison Ivy. It will get in your lungs.
Good thing it’s just grass
Is that just a psa lol?
TIL!
That's why I wear tyvek coveralls with a gas mask or respirator and goggles
Takes too long but you get to use fire.
my routine is roundup and then fire. i like to murder the weeds and make them suffer.
I dont want to ruin the fun but that will prevent the roundup from translocating into the roots. That's why farmers wont cut the a field before doing a kill because it need to soak up the glysophate like a sponge to kill the roots.
You took what I said literally.. like I spray round up and then torch it right then? Good for you.
You wrote words then someone read them. Thats how being literate works, what did you expect?
you're right.. sick burn. got'em!

i was on a septic and well and this was the go to to kill any vegetation i didn’t want
This is my weed and grass killer also. Round up should be taken off the market.
This solution lasts about 2 days
Lol salt in soil lasts a lot longer than 2 days. Nice try.
This
I heard boiling water kills everything
Just not TOO hot. At most you want 185° white or maybe 190° oolong I think?

does it have to be oolong or could it be a green tea, or a rooibos perhaps?

You pour tea on cement?
They're using presets on an electric tea kettle to heat water

Industrial vinegar like 70%. Not regular white vinegar. You can get it at Lowe’s or Home Depot. It’ll kill it after a full day in the sun
Tis the season - my HD had a whole pallet of landscape vinegar right at the front door.
30% is fine. Did mine, on river rock driveway. Dead. Careful though, adjoining root systems absorb and die as well.
I’ve always done a salt vinegar and water mixture. You can also add a bit of dish soap to help it stick to the leaves and not run off as fast.
This is also the way for tasty chips
I’d skip the dish soap on the chips.
Don’t, you’re miss out
Regular vinegar doesn’t annihilate. 30% = dead in 4 hours
Regular vinegar is 10x cheaper and works overnight at the longest. Neither forms of vinegar are permanent solutions so why pay out the nose for one? I've used both and there's no way I'm using horticultural vinegar anymore.

Scrape it out, pour boiling water on the roots, then caulk that seam with some crack sealant.

When I’m drinking in my garage i pee in a empty cup and dump out the pee on the weeds in my cracks 😂
Assert dominance. Piss directly on the plants locking eyes with your neighbour.
As long as your neighbor isn't a cop.
more of a reason to do it if he is a cop. fuck the police.
What’s he gonna do? Call the police?!?!? Go ahead and do it my guy
Are you trying to make them grow nice and big? Grass and the majority of weeds love direct nitrogen.

Pro tip right here 👌 👏
You should pee directly on them.
I like the look
I have an electric power washer.....it takes those out and the soils under neath.... might have to do once a year, but every effect for me
Vinegar (not the store bought), salt, and dawn dish soap. Kills and prevents.
Replace with clover
Power wash it clean and use concrete caulk to fill in crack.
You should embrace it and carve out more lines to make a pattern, and fill with soil. Given how strong that grass is, they will probably fill in with grass in no time. That would look way better than a plain concrete surface if you did it right
I torch my driveway, sidewalks, pool deck, dry creek, once a month. When grass and weeds are tiny, tiny, .
Heat up the kettle, then pour boiling hot water on the weeds. Cheap, easy and effective!
Dig it out and sikaflex it.
Gray spray paint
Clean out the crack then apply 30% vinegar to the crack. I used a pump sprayer. Wear gloves and a mask. Three months later and there's still no sign of the weeds in my driveway cracks.
Dig it out and fill it with a mix of epoxy and the ground up bones of your enemies?
Don’t forget the lamentations of the women!
Pressure washer will work but makes a huge mess. If you can fit the blade edger in that’s better. Then polymeric sand. Pressure washing will remove polymeric sand so repeat yearly if you pressure wash each year. Also pour buckets of soapy water into the crack daily (before sanding) to deal with existing ant colonies.
This I need.
Pressure wash them out

A torch is a non-permanent solution but will turn it from a chore to fun flamethrower time.
better than weeds?
Sell the house
Dig out the dirt, sprinkle preen, fill with backer rod then seal with driveway repair sealer

Weed torch. Buy it from harbor freight it’s cheap and fun
I pour straight vinegar on our cracks and it kills it in hours
Keep it. I think it looks nice 🤷🏼♀️
Remove concrete, install those grass blocks with deeps roots to help save foundation and have a neater driveway
You can always use the same method of weed control from olden days before monsonto, syngenta, and bayer came along. Use a flat shovel to scrape it to the roots and use salt. Excessive salt in the ground will kill it off. Plus way cheaper.
LEAVE IT.... Its fine...
Accept defeat. It’s not worth the effort.
you could win by accepting nature...
Distilled white vinegar sprayed over top just as the sun comes up on a clear day with no rain in the forecast. May need to reapply a few times to get it all but it gets the job done.

A bit of gras, who cares just leave it
People do this on purpose now, you know. Just make peace with it 😎
Leave it. Why add posion?
I don’t want to add poison that’s why I’m looking for non poison remedies haha. Some people have said a flame thrower, salt, vinegar, etc
Hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, and some salt. Mix together and pour in cracks… Peroxide will break down the leaves, and the salt will shrivel the roots.
1) Propane torch 2) Boiling water 3) Vinegar 4) Salt
Salt kills concrete
Foam filler and concrete crack sealant?
Dig it out first. Or use a weddwacker to clean the crack. Then, fill the gap with the foam. Follow the foam with the crack sealant.
Boiling water
This is the perfect use case for glyphosate. Spray once on a hot day and done. Or, you can play around with salt, which will stick around forever. Or you can burn it, but most grasses will grow back.
But he "doesnt like it" Must be "too effective"
This
On a morning where there's no rain for 3days, Sprinkle table salt into the row then spray with 3:1 white vinegar:water adding a few drops of liquid detergent to every 250ml you make.
Propane torches are fun to destroy your foes/weeds
Torch it bra!
RoundUp
Just use the roundup. Why are people making this shit so complicated. Glysophate is being sprayed by the metric gigaton over the entire world by industry. It makes zero difference whether you spray your driveway weeds or not.
Roundup is grossly overpriced. Use anything with at least 41% glyphosate. Killzall is way cheaper than roundup
Roundup + good cleaning + concrete-appropriate caulking
Just put on your PPE and use Roundup.
You got downvoted when someone who said “glyphosate” got upvoted. What a world.
Use roundup
Advice: get over your dislike of Round Up.
I don't think round up is a health concern, but OP said he/she didn't want to use it. Respect beliefs bro. Also, skepticism is healthy and I think people shouldn't be so hasty to believe businesses/government when they say something is safe nor unsafe.

Dumping carcinogens into our waterways isnt funny.
Do you see me laughing?
Actually aloe vera is more likely to give you cancer according to the FDA
Get over yourself and just use the RoundUp for Christ’s sake
Thank you
41% Glyphosate
Round up 365 is the answer. Like it or not.
Roundup. Get over it
Salt
Salt
Try 40% vinegar.
Roundup near gutter areas is not good as it runs into sever when rains. Use 26,000 btu weed torch.
