grass in asphalt

amo · Dec 29, 2019

I just had my driveway resurfaced with a coat of liquid asphalt sealer . The grass is coming up through cracks in the asphalt. What can i kill the grass with? Any help is appreciated , Thanks Amo.

Roundup. Be careful & follow the directions. jal-SD

Roundup (glyphosate) will kill the grass, and then follow up with some "Barrier" to prevent the grass from coming back. Apply it once in the spring, and again in the fall.

Will the roundup mess up the asphalt up. Thanks Amo

No, it can be purchased in a trigger squirt bottle. Being careful means don't put a sandwich where you sprayed, and be tidy when spraying, and wash up well when done. Jim

I think there is a chemical called Pramitol (sp?) that will last all year. Mark.

Won't hurt the asphalt at all.

My first choice would be roundup/glyphosate, but there is also an "environmentally friendly" weed killer:

1 gallon white vinegar

2 cups Epsom Salt

1/4 cup Dawn Dish Soap-blue original

If the cracks are not too large, just grab a box of table salt and apply generously.
