7 ways to remove weeds from your patio

A dandelion growing in the cracks of a patio

In the summer heat, our patios can make for a picturesque space to sit back and relax. Or perhaps you prefer to entertain with one of the best grills, so long as you learn how to repel bugs while dining outdoors. But, in either case, one thing that can ruin the atmosphere is unwelcome weeds cropping up between the slabs. Weeds can unfortunately pop up at any time of year, and they’re so hardy and determined, that even your patio can serve as a potential home.

Should a seed find its way into the grouting, it will grow and sprout, even where moisture and nutrients are limited. Before you know it, ugly weeds will border your patio and thrive despite the trampling. Weeds are tricky to remove at the best of times, and with the roots protected by your patio, they’re arguably more awkward to deal with here.
