Cover the area with a large tarp. Leave it for a few weeks and it will kill them.

You can also use newspaper or cardboard and place dirt on top. The newspaper/cardboard will decompose, but kill the weeds.

I’d try newspaper or cardboard as well or if it’s a larger area, rent a rototiller.

For paver/stone/gravel patios

I use one cup of vinegar, one cup of salt to two gallons water in a garden sprayer. Saturate the weeds till dripping. Do not use on lawn or in garden. Will kill everything. Boiling water on weeds in lawn and garden.

Straight white vinegar or this mixture, which will "stick" a bit better:

2 cups white vinegar

¼ cup salt

Squirt of dawn

Mix in a spray bottle. If you have a larger area, you can mix in a garden sprayer with larger quantities. Use when it will not be raining for a few hours so that it isn’t washed away.

Here's what I use: Take a spray bottle and cover the bottom with salt and fill it up with vinegar. Add a few drops of dish soap and shake. Spray on the weeds.
