How to clear weeds between gaps of pavers?

Good afternoon, how can I clear the weeds between the gaps of pavers, and fill in something to prevent weeds growing between the gaps? Thanks.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @sumleung33. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about weeds.

To clear the weeds between your pavers, you can use a path weeder spray to kill them off, then remove the dead weeds by hand or with a weeding tool to clean out the gaps. Once the weeds are gone, you can prevent them from coming back in a couple of ways. One option is to periodically spray the pavers with a path weeder. Most of these products only need to be applied once every 12 months to effectively stop weeds from re-emerging. 

Another option is to use paving sand mixed with a small amount of cement. 5 parts sand to one part cement would be more than enough. This creates a solid barrier that helps prevent weed growth. For the best results, ensure the gaps are clean and free of weeds before applying the sand.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
