How to kill my weed

Hi all - I am having difficulty removing these weed from the drive it seems like they regrow every 4 weeks. 

Does anyone know what these weeds are called?

best and easy way to remove with using a patio brush?

Whether a pressure washer will be benish?

    A brush or pressure washer will only remove the tops, not the roots, so they will regrow.  Systemic weedkiller is the easiest way to kill 'em off.

  • Roseate 360 in a spray bottle on a still day.  Does the job. 

  • Thanks for the suggestions everyone

    I have several colonies of ants that live under my block paving so the boiling water is excellent for keeping them in check and busy moving. First I spray with a weedkiller, wait two weeks and then follow up with the water. Then I carefully put back all the sand filler the ants have thoughtfully piled up.

    Its such a good game I might do it all again in October.............
