To solve this issue i would recommend to treat the soil to get to the root as most ways are un effective & you will end up with weeds re sprouting, then i would apply with a weed killer, please be careful with this. then add sheeting & apply whichever stone material on top.

Hi

Remove the 'weeds' you don't want by replanting with good ground cover, until you decide on more permanent plantings.

Weeds will eventually appear in gravel and bark. Cats have been known to poo on bark.

Best option is to tackle best you can from the root, cultivate the soil, apply weed killer. and finish with a weed sheet and then your bark/gravel/stone on top.

I don’t think u can kill them but u can delay the process of them coming back, for driveways you can use kiln sand but in garden in summer they will come.

Bark is best, but you need to keep topping up as is boi degrades, a weed mat and gravel will keep most thing at bay but you will still have to weed, due to the birds spreading the seeds. I like soil and planting an area up this keeps the weeds down and you have full beds. Or you can always hoe out the weeds every week or use vinegar

Apply one cup of bleach, undiluted, to the afflicted area. Wait until the weeds turn brown before pulling them out of the ground. Run water around the area to flush the bleach, especially if you are trying to grow plants or grass in that area.

Put down a weed proof membrane, such as Terram. Then cover with gravel or bark. Otherwise weeds will come through eventually. Or spray with roundup.
