How I Weed-Proofed My Driveway - One Man's Experience:

I used a quality, 30-year-guarantee weed barrier (Sta-Green Ultimate Weed Barrier) that I bought at Lowes.

Two things about the barrier: 

- I used a layer of DG (decomposed granite) over the weed barrier. 
- Rather than cut to size, I did a lot of folding (which was easier), so it's doubled in some areas -- along edges.

I do see an occasional weed, but weeds are pretty much under control for me.

Weeds in Driveways

If you have converted your driveway to a hardscape please remember that weeds are your responsibility.

Driveways are homeowner property (part of the residential unit). The HOA has an easement and an obligation to maintain the grass in the driveway strips. Once a driveway is converted to a hardscape, an HOA landscaper legally cannot touch it.

- Make sure the hardscape is installed properly (a layer of DG (decomposed granite) on top of a weed barrier underneath the decorative top.

- Periodically remove accumulating organic debris from between the rocks. Decomposing leaves are excellent organic matter for weeds to grow in.

- Pull the weeds manually (great weekend workout!) or apply a weed killer.

- Have your private backyard landscaper remove the weeds.

Dog Urine Spots

Our grass looks great but multiple dog urine spots spoil the party.

We have limited control over the issue as some of the spots are from visiting dogs from Cambria and elsewhere but if it's your pet - please do not damage your / your neighbors' grass.
