5. Weed spray*
OR I have another idea. Tell me what you think. My back patio is in pretty bad shape. The bricks have spread apart and the area is not in any way level. Grass and weeds grow between the bricks and each year I pull as many up as I can and then do the weed spray to keep them away. I know I really should just hire someone to come in and make it nice and pretty but I just hate spending money especially because I would prefer to do the hardwood floors first than sink money into the outside. So, at any rate, I was thinking, rather than fighting the plant growth, how about instead I plant pretty stuff into the cracks? Like this article and this article recommend. I guess my fear is it will look worse and what a bitch of a time I will have getting the plants out.
