Weeds grass elimination
A commercial herbicide would work if you dont mind chemicals, or a flame torch like a weed dragon.
We had a 200 foot pea gravel driveway that was a nightmare to maintain. Weeds grass and nuisance vegetation constantly popped up. Our options were to use round up vegetation killer or the weed dragon.Both worked but needed continued reapplication which seemed like 7-10 days. We ended up putting in a concrete driveway to solve this issue and I’ve never been happier!

They come in different sizes and prices depending on individual need. Great for gravel driveway weeding.
