You would have to clean out all the joints from weeds, dirt, and debri. A power washer would be the easiest way, than doing it by hand. Then refill the joints with polymeric sand, sweep it into the joints, wet it down, add more if needed.

Spray vinegar on, it will all die, just pull it up,  and most of time will not come back.

If you want to avoid using weedkiller, the vinegar/salt works sometimes. Be aware though, if you use it near soil you want to plant in you might have to wait a long time. It can make the soil sterile for several years.

I use vinegar and salt at home. It's an inexpensive, eco-friendly, alternative to harsh chemicals. Just be careful to keep it away from desirable plants and landscaping, and keep an eye on the weather - rain can wash the solution into nearby plants.

I use pots of hot water after cooking corn, blanching beans, etc.  It does not 'poison' the soil like salt will.

Pour hot water on the weeds. It will kill them but as far as getting rid of them permanently  so far nothing out there yet.
