Weeds coming up through stones

in Gardening
Hi all
my front garden is just a raised area cordoned off with little wooden stakes and filled with small stones/gravel and I get a lot of weeds coming through it. There are liners under the stones, but are very old (ive been there 10 years and who knows how long they were down before I moved in) and have obviously deteriorated with age and cut by edges of stones. I hate gardening, and the area often looks quite untidy by the time I get around to doing anything with it.
Other than lifting all the gravel and relining the area, do I have any options for stopping these weeds - or at the very least reducing them?
There is no grass or plants/shrubbery, just a stoned area.

Roundup...........
Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

Use Neudorff Weed Killer it is the best I have come across.. slightly pricey but works without doubt, doesn't need a second dose or reapplying, so worth that little bit extra cost0
