How to Kill the Weeds Around a Pool

A weed is an invasive plant that takes over gardens, lawns and pools. If the weed isn't treated and killed, it will continue to grow and take over. Pool decks often become home to weeds due to the high level of moisture; the cracks and crevices between bricks and pavement are their perfect breeding grounds. Pool salt can effectively be used to kill weeds around a pool and prevent weeds from returning.
