Weeds, whacked: 7 ways to kill weeds from your driveway and sidewalks

HomeServe says simple tools, boiling water and sealants can help stop weeds from returning in cracks.

  • HomeServe released a guide featuring 7 methods for removing weeds from driveway cracks. Paul Dolan, writing for the company, notes these techniques help maintain a home's exterior appearance.
  • Weeds growing through driveway cracks can make a property's exterior appear overgrown and unkempt. These methods provide homeowners with alternatives to harsh chemical herbicides for managing unwanted vegetation in concrete or stone surfaces.
  • Boiling water serves as one of the simplest, environmentally friendly ways to kill weeds instantly. Because it only uses water, this method is safe for households with kids and pets.
  • A weed torch utilizes intense heat to rupture plant cells, causing them to wilt and die. While effective, this chemical-free method poses a significant fire hazard, requiring extreme caution during use to avoid accidents.
  • For persistent growth, applying a small amount of salt directly into cracks helps dissolve the salt. Homeowners should wait for the weed to dry out before removing the dead plant from the crack.
