If weeds keep growing between the bricks near my patio, can that actually cause the brick to deteriorate faster?
Answer
When weeds and vegetation are growing between the brciks we can assure you that you already have damage behind the bricks & its only a matter of time before the damge gets more serious. Weeds & vegetation need moisture to grow. That means you’re getting moisture in that area & the moisture is being trapped which is what is allowing the weeds to take root & grow between the bricks. Moisture is one of the biggest causes of brick and mortar deterioration. Adding roots to the equation only accelerates the speed at which the damage spreads.
You likely have a bigger problem than you realize & we strongly suggest you have a professional take a look at it.
