Weeds popping up in your driveway are more than just an eyesore — they can quickly make your home look neglected. Many people reach for expensive herbicides or spend hours pulling weeds by hand, but my grandma, a lifelong gardener, taught me a simple, effortless, and chemical-free solution.
Not only does it work incredibly well, but it also uses ingredients you likely already have at home. Here’s how to do it.
What You’ll Need:
White vinegar – Acts as a natural herbicide.
Dish soap – Helps the solution stick to leaves for better absorption.
Spray bottle – Makes application quick and targeted.
This combination is inexpensive, eco-friendly, and safe for homes with pets or kids.
Step-by-Step Guide to Kill Driveway Weeds
1. Fill the Bottle
Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
2. Add Dish Soap
Add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar. This helps the vinegar cling to the leaves instead of rolling off.
3. Mix Gently
Give the bottle a gentle shake to mix everything evenly.
4. Spray the Weeds
On a sunny day, spray the solution directly onto the weeds, making sure to thoroughly coat the leaves.
5. Let Nature Help
The sun will enhance the drying effect of the vinegar, drawing out moisture from the weeds.
6. Watch Them Die
Within a few days, the weeds will wilt, turn brown, and die. Sweep away the dead plants, and you’re done!
