How to get rid of weeds and spruce up your patio

Weeds can be a constant nuisance in any garden, especially when they start to pop up between your patio slabs. Keeping your patio area free of weeds ensures you can enjoy your Charles Taylor garden furniture in a tidy space. Here are a few actions you can take to combat these weeds without harming your slabs.

Pull up what you can

It’s strenuous work, but it’s best to pull up anything you can by hand first.

Use tools

You can use weeding tools or scrapers to get at anything that cannot be easily pulled up. Handheld burners can also help get the job done quicker.

Don’t use salt

There are lots of tips on the internet to get rid of weeds by using household products, but salt can actually damage your paving and harm your soil.

If the weeds don’t seem to be giving up, you can get organic herbicide to help slow their growth.

Maintain the rest of your garden

General upkeep of your garden, including regular cuts and regular weeding, is the easiest way to maintain the general tidiness of your outdoor space. The more often you do it, the easier it will be the next time you come to do it!

Other simple actions you can take to spruce up your patio include making sure you regularly clear away leaves and debris from windfall, and plant new flowers along your paving edge to add a splash of colour.

With any luck, by following these tips, you’ll have a beautiful, weed-free garden!
