Weeds can be very tenacious things, able to grow in all manner of unusual places. As well as in your lawn, you can also find weeds growing in walls, gutters, even sometimes in damp carpets. One of the more common locations you can find weeds growing is in the driveway, through cracks in the concrete or in between paving slabs. Although a driveway may not seem like prime growing conditions, that doesn’t seem to matter much to the weeds!

Whilst the weeds growing in your driveway might not seem like such an intrusion at first, if left unattended, they can continue to grow an unmanageable amount,  where they can cause further cracking damage. They can even lift and deform your paving to create an unstable surface.
