My wordy title is pretty much everything 😅.

New to home ownership, I didn’t know about pre emergent (or if it would’ve even worked for this)?

Lots of gras came up between these rocks despite having a tarp under these rocks (the tarp is a minimum of 10 years old though I think). I put down grass killer and then went away for vacation. Now I have more greens!

Effectively, what would be the best way to remove this grass? I’ve been doing it all by hand but it’s pretty much miserable, there is more rock bed than what is in this picture.

I think if a hoe works I would be pretty happy with it, but I’m not sure if there’d be a better way to tackle this?

    I think you’re referring to a loop hoe? It’ll work ok to decap the deep root weeds and kill that grass… but like the other person said, it might be in your benefit to spray first. You’ll still, obviously, have to rake out the crap after the spray kills off the plants tho. Also, the hoe will knock around those pavers a bit, but you might need to move them to get some of the weeds anyway
