Gravel is a very common material used in many ways in backyards, ranging from a gravel driveway to a low-maintenance gravel garden. Wherever you have gravel, however, there are likely to be weeds trying to penetrate it.
Gravel is a popular landscaping material for paths, seating areas, or steps. Laying a membrane underneath is recommended to prevent weeds from growing up through the gravel, however, one may not always be in place and that opens the door to pesky weeds.
