I have had pampas grass take over my entire borders and swamp all other plants. I managed to dig them all out a couple of years ago, after burning them as advised. They have come back with a vengeance in the form of thousands of tiny plants, which I have tried to kill off with weedkiller to no avail. A few larger plants have rooted in between patio slabs. I have Googled it and there doesn't seem to be anyone else with this problem. I can't plant anything until I know I have eradicated them. Please can you give me some advice.
Here is a great article with some help for you.

I was told that burning the middle of my pampass grass in the fall would help it not to spread out so much and allow the middle of the plant to come back to life. Is this true? My grasses are spreading out too much and I want it to stop. Thank you.
Burning was once considered a way to control Pampas Grass.
I would not recommend it as a preferred method.
These grasses can burn hot and get out of control fast.
Also the grass will will regrow quickly so the spread of the grass will not change.
You will want to check with your local government if you do decide to attempt burning.

I planted new white Pampas Grass last spring and it grew slowly throughout the year until the cold weather in my Zone 7, at which time the leaves turned white and dried out. It is protected by mulch and in a well drained, yet moist, soil at the top of a small hill. It's now getting late April and after cutting back to the ground in early spring, I have still not seen any signs of new green growth emerging. Is this normal and, if not, what can I do, if anything?
I would give it some more time. Warm season grasses begin to grow much later in the spring.
