We are so tired of the unanticipated expense of constantly cracking pavers and the continuous cleaning and "sealing" that does not last even half as long as we were told. Just want something that will not continue to be a financial drain !
You must have the cheap thin pavers. We had our put in 6 years ago using the thick, I believe they are over 2" thick, pavers and have never had one crack. As far as weeds, there are no more weeds growing in the seams than around any other driveway, I might give a quick shot of weed killer spray once every 3 months, takes about 2 minutes. Maintenance wise, $300 every 3 years for power wash, re-sand, and sealant applied, well worth it for the appearance.
