Yup, we have the same problem.

1. Leave the decomposed granite and just weed- I don't have the time

That's what we do. Getting a weeding tools helps a lot and it's very
easy to do in the granite since there are no plants to be careful with.

2. Leave the decomposed granite and just use Roundup or equivalent-

Why not used concentrated vinegar? It works like a charm and it's
non-toxic. Plants pretty much disintegrate, unless they're huge weeds,
you won't notice them at all.

We apply corn gluten twice a year. It does help some.

4. Remove all decomposed granite, dig out dirt to a flat surface, put

Won't do you any good. Weeds thrive in decomposed granite.

Any other options? Any help would be appreciated. What do places
like the Wildflower Center do to keep their decomposed granite
pathways weed-free?
