In the past I have used rock salt (from my water softener) to treat
unwanted plant growth coming up through my pavers. I would dilute it
with water, 1:4 in a 2 gallon spay bottle and go at it.

Although effective, I am curious to know if this is deleterious to the
pavers over time. I don't want to use herbicides because of children
and domestic pet considerations.

Would appreciate if anyone is willing to share info or experiences.


Boiling water works good for me. I have a short sidewalk and it's
right outside my kitchen door, so when I'm making tea, it's easy to
step outside, and pour the extra hot water on whatever is growing
through the sidewalk cracks. Maybe it's not practical for a longer
sidewalk, but it works good for me.
