Over a three to four week period, many weed-seeds will germinate in the cracks and crevices of the StaLok stairways and walkways. StaLok paving material is a natural aggregate soil that is enhanced with a polymer. It is heavily compacted and eliminates infiltration. The weed-seeds usually find their way into the staircase cracks or near the edges of the paths. This can be seen in the picture on the left. This picture shows many juvenile and adult weed plants. These weeds can vary from Dandelion, Thistle, Fescue, and Ryegrass. The removal process of these weeds is quite a bit more difficult than in bare soil. It is much more difficult to access and remove the rootzone in the heavily compacted StaLok surfaces. The tool that I found works the best is a Hula-Hoe. It is also pictured on the left. The Hula-Hoe breaks up the
surface and reveals the rootzone of the weeds. This makes weed removal easy and clean. The picture on the right shows what the path looks like after the weeds were removed and the StaLok material was re-compacted.
