What to do with grass coming through stones?

Hi folks,

UK based here and as the images show, I'm having issues with grass coming through my slate stones in our front garden.

I've had a wee look and it appears the membrane on top of the lawn has torn in some places, allowing some of grass to come through.

Would spraying some sort of weed/grasskiller get rid of this problem? Or would I have to clear the stones, replace the membrane with something heavier (tarpaulin perhaps) and then put the stones back on top?

How bad is the reoccurrence?

If it's just a couple plants every year/month poison.

If this is a week after your last pull. You'll want to buy a garden rake. (Metal teeth) and some landscaping fabric. (About $50 worth of materials and a weekend of labor.)

Honestly if you can see years in the fabric it's probably time to replace. I recommend a woven fabric as the weed prevention. I also see dead vegetation between the rocks. I recommend a leaf. Lower for this as that stuff will breakdown into dirt and give grall a place to live.
