Can anyone tell me what this weed is that's spreading through my patio? The leaves look like they have pock mark sort of things on them.

    I think it is almost certainly Liverwort.  Loves compacted poorly drained areas and shade:

    Can be tricky to deal with.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Yes that's definitely it, thanks! I don't think it looks that bad so I might just leave it.

    If you do want to get rid of it, spray with vinegar, the cheapest will work.   Be warned, though, it does spread, and you will suddenly find it all over the place.   Mine also thrives in full sun on a gravel drive.   It's a pest!
