A thin-bladed knife to work between the paving stones will loosen
things enough to yank them.

Spraying them with vinegar often does it. A repeat application may be
necessary. Just be careful not to let the spray drift onto anything
nearby you want to keep.

Boiling water also works. Just take the tea kettle out there. Again,
it may have to be repeated.

Use sodium chlorate. Works for up to 6 months.

Sodium chlorate is not the safest stuff to handle. Roundup might be a better
choice if we are going to resort to chemicals.

I use the boiling water treatment too.
