Mix a salt water solution. Half a cup of salt to one gallon water. Spray the pavers and weeds till saturated. Warning: this will kill everything growing.
Round Up has an extended formula plan that works pretty well. You will always have weed seeds settling in driveway and sidewalk cracks - there's no permanent way to stop them. They blow in from neighbor's yards and are airborne all the time.
You just have to keep after them. On the first of every month, I go around and spray the weeds and do the best I can with keeping them out of my flower beds and other areas. I've found that using landscape fabric in the beds along with using Preen helps alot with keeping weeds out of flower beds.
Vinegar also discourages ants. Ants can be a niusance, but they have benefits, too, so best to try to direct them where you need them (like around your peonies. They control the aphids).
if the weeds are between pavers or sidewalk, boiling water poured directly on the weeds will take care of that. It really depends on the weed itself and where they are growing. Most weeds need to have the entire root removed. Before using any poison like Round Up, read the instructions and think twice. It's just my humble opinion but natural methods are better. My yard is very small and my neighbor has a gorgeous koi pond so I am cautious about what I use, I would never want to hurt his pond.
I have used a mixture of Dawn, salt and vinegar with good results. But the best results I have had is pouring boiling water on the weeds. It takes awhile to fill and heat and pour large pots of water, but my yard is small so it wasn't a big deal for me.
PLEASE don't use Roundup!! PLEASE try natural methods first! Roundup kills milkweed and milkweed is the only plant that Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on. Monarchs are dying off because of this!! I implore you for the sake of the earth! Thanks for reading.

Try vinegar. It's good on driveway cracks and brick patios.
The home talker has not stated where the weeds are , so therefore the question can not be answered correctly.

Dawn 1/4 cup white vinegar one gallon one pound of Epsom salt mix together then put In a spray bottle and watch the weeds die
Use organic or horticultural vinegar with at least 20% acidity but only on the weed, not anything you want to keep.
