How to keep grass from growing over your dirt path?

1. Edging: Installing edging material along the sides of your path can help to physically block grass from encroaching. Edging can be made from various materials, such as metal, plastic, or concrete. Be sure to install the edging deep enough so that it will not be uprooted by frost or movement of the soil.

2. Mowing: Regularly mowing the grass around your path can help to keep it from growing too tall and spreading into the path. Be sure to mow the grass short, and use a mulching mower so that the clippings will help to smother any new grass seedlings.

3. Trimming: Trimming the grass along the edges of your path with a string trimmer or edger can help to keep it from growing over the path. Be sure to trim the grass regularly, and use a sharp blade so that you do not damage the delicate roots of the grass.

4. Applying herbicides: Applying a pre-emergent herbicide to the soil along your path can help to prevent grass seeds from germinating. Be sure to read and follow the directions on the herbicide label carefully, and apply it at the proper time of year.

5. Covering the path: Covering your path with a layer of mulch or gravel can help to prevent grass from growing through. Mulch and gravel can also help to improve the drainage of your path and deter the growth of weeds.
