Get some nice tarmac ...

Never heard of weed killer
If you don't want weeds, get the blocks sealed. Keeps them clean, too. Only a few quid per m2 if done at the same time, but needs renewing every 2/3 years.
Stencilled concrete is another option and it looks exactly like block paving, but a bit more expensive and, no matter how thick, well reinforced or set with expansion joints, you can get hair-line cracks if you're unlucky. Otherwise though, no weeds.
Tarmac is horrible dirty stuff. Use only if you've got black carpets
