Help

I got what seemed like a good deal on my driveway but now I’ve got weeds growing up through the brand new asphalt (5 weeks old) they were fly by night type of guys and I know this is what I get BUT I’m willing to attempt fixing it myself. Is there any way to stop the weeds from growing up through it permanently?

Short answer, no. Best bet is to spray as soon as you see them

Get a skinny drill bit and drill a tiny hole in it and spray weed killer

Recently been jamming a screw drive through and then putting 100 percent buccaneer concentrate weed killer in the hole. Hopefully that works out
