Round-up at 2 oz per Gal of H2O, a teaspoon of dish washing liquid. scuffle hoe dead material, use a granular pre emergent herbicide either liquid or granular. I have used

the following material with good results and control. Monterey Weed Impede (Surflan Herbicide,

Oryzalin 4 Pro Pre-Emergent Herbicide

Round up strim round up patience.....or hire front mounted mulcher to make it look brand new

I have a thing like they use at speedway on the back of a compact tractor, it's like angle irons that are on a frame, you can adjust the top link to make it more or less aggressive in what it digs up and turns over I think it's a menage grader

Tried one of these, think I may weld some scarifiers on to make it a bit more aggressive at digging in.....

 

No one seems to rent mulchers round here so this looks next option

 

Roundup

Strim

Grade

Repeat until sorted .....

depending on size of drive and quantity of grass a weed burner may wrk well and works a lot quicker than round up

Yeah, I'd try that too. 'Land leveller' is what I've referred to it but not sure of the official .

Is it actually possible to mulch gravel based weeds??

Pic required. There is 'infested' - gravel with thinner long grass stems growing through (roundup, dies, withers and disappears in 2 months) and there is 'infested' - 50% soil 50% gravel, and turf encompassing all the gravel in which case above answers plus more gravel probably

 

(hours spraying and spreading gravel )
