Weeding splits by where the weed is growing. A weed in open soil is lifted with the root, which a hand weeder does by levering under the crown. A weed in a paving joint has to be scraped out of a narrow gap, which needs a blade shaped for the joint rather than the soil. A weed left with its root in the soil regrows, which is why lifting rather than snapping matters on the soil tools.
That is why a patio weeder is a different tool from a hand weeder rather than a smaller one. Its blade is narrow and hooked to run along a joint, and it is held in carbon steel with an ash handle and in stainless.
Working posture is the next question. A long handled weed puller lifts a weed from standing height, which is what makes a large area practical, and a 230V patio weed sweeper at 140W clears joints by brushing rather than scraping. A hand patio weeder is held in both carbon steel and stainless at the same blade shape.
Prevention is the other half of the job. Weed control matting suppresses growth before it starts, held at 8 x 1.5m, and a paving brush keeps a cleared joint clear. Matting is laid before planting rather than after, which is when it does the most work.
