Default Mare's tail

Has anyone any experience of dealing with mare's tail?
Friends have moved into a house with the garden over-run with the
stuff. They are keeping it at bay in the lawn by regular mowing, but
it is coming up through the decking (which was already installed), and
is thick in a small area whee they hoped to grow a few veg, and under
2 apple trees. They are not keen gardeners, and not in the best of
health.
Is there any way of dealing with it?
I can remember the question being asked on GQT once and the answer was
"Move house". That is out of the question. Is there any other way?
