We use pool salt on our interlock, works like a charm - just keep 1’ back from the stuff you want to keep alive.
Mixed with water or just dump salt?
Tried this numerous times, limited results. May have to just manually remove.
A soon as the new goes in I get a work/potting area behind the shed. It tends to be a bit wet there so I plan to cover it with coarse mulch. I figure mulch wipes off the boots easier than mud and I can get mulch free.
The area is also very shaded so nothing grows well.

I didn't like the way my front downspout poured onto the interlock walkway near the house and a leader across the path would just be a trip hazard. Instead I put in a new downspout at the gate, six feet of trough across the gate, a drop to a catch and twenty feet of horizontal leader to the front lawn through a cut out in the lower gate.
The front downspout is now capped.

We sweep it into the cracks between stones. On the dark side of the garage I have a gravel path I just broadcast it using a fertilizer spreader. You need quite a bit.
Another option is to use a black tarp. Place it over the weedy area when the ground is a little damp and the sun is shining. It will cook everything underneath.

Farmers too. I get concentrated Roundup from BIL at $20/l - when diluted it makes 30l ($1000 worth) of the retail blend.

Crabgrass is my issue. Can't get anything to kill the stuff.
You can get alligare 65 from Florida. Banned by the province but the feds control the border. Also need dye and methylation seed oil as part of the mix.
Same here. I have real Roundup that I've used to get rid of ivy but crabgrass is taking over much of my lawn. Green is green imo (as long as it doesn't make me itchy) but the crabgrass dies halfway through the summer so I'm left with a half brown lawn.
