Patio and Driveways' New Best Friend. Meet No Weed™ Dansand®.

Why is it the fastest growing plants in your garden are usually the least desirable? Winning the war on the weeds is often a battle that requires a stronger determination than the weeds themselves.

However, there is good news on the weed front. When it comes to your patios and driveways, tiles or bricks, there is a solution available to help you keep the weeds at bay in a natural and eco-friendly way.

So what exactly is No Weed™ Dansand®? The range was created in 1971 by Danish Group Dansand, part of the SIBELCO Group. The product is a combination of dried silica sand and other special minerals. The naturally high pH value helps to inhibit weed growth and germination by creating desert like conditions.

The No Weed™ Dansand range of weed inhibitor and block paving sand products are water resistant, long lasting, easy to apply and eco-friendly, suitable for use on new and old stone and block paving, whether for driveways, patios, tiles or bricks.

Popular with builders and landscapers who are involved in laying patios, pavements and driveways, the No Weed™ range offers an added bonus to their workmanship, by helping inhibit pesky weeds much appreciated by homeowners.

There are three products currently available to buy in the UK, all available in a 20kg bag offering coverage of 5-10m(2).

1. No Weed™ Block Paving Sand; Created for narrow joints, this product helps create desert-like conditions to keep weeds at bay in a natural way.
