This problem is one reason we'd never have block paving. Good quality concrete slabs and/or selected gravel can give a really professional look, without weed or moss problems. We have a crazy paving patio in cotswold slabs and gravel/slabs in the front. No moss.
last winter I discovered that road salt kills moss quicker than anything I have ever come across. Just sprinkle lightly and brush it in with a stiff brush.
