Anyone know if there are any problems with using sodium chlorate solution on block paving? The weeds are starting to show but I don't want to damage the blocks.
TIA

I have used sodium chlorate on my block paving for several years and it has not affected the blocks.
It does not clear moss very well and I use a separate moss killer for this.

There is no problem using any weedkiller on block paving, except that SC doesn't work.
Roundup is what you need - around £4.50 for a litre of ready mixed stuff in a spray gun and an hours work instead of 5 minutes, but it kills the roots, whereas almost all other weedkillers kill the tops only.
SC is supposed to make the ground unplantable, but the last house I had had a large paved area at the back and the horsetails and dandelions used to thrive on the stuff.

Weird, it's worked well for me in the past.
