Anything growing up through the gravel is a weed. Anything growing more than a few inches tall under a tree near the house, with the potential to be a fire ladder, is a weed. I think that most of the "weeds" are beautiful, I have pictures of many of their flowers on my walls. But I can't afford that beauty near the house in wildfire country. And I'd like to keep my gravelled areas clear, including the driveway and around the structures, and asphalt or concrete aren't options.
