Question froma newbie

Hello every one.
I hope some one here can help me with a plan.
I have these cement patio bricks,about size 15x15 each.
I made a winding path,now,where the blochs do not meet,there is dirt inbetween,and a lot of weeds grow inbetween these.
I am really sick and tired of trying to keep the weeds out, it never looks nice.
My question is this:Do you think i could fill in-betwee the blocks with cement,would i have to dig out the dirt inbetween,will the cement hold, or do you think it would break up over time?
It can also be a stumbling path for some,as there are gapes inbetwee some of the blocks as much as 2-3 inches,and not real even,over the years,they have settled quite a bit.
Any ideas?
Thank you for reading this,i hope some one has a gret idea.

Carol, Due to your zone you can't just fill in with concrete it will crack apart and heave in the Winter. You would have to excavate the pathway to the recommended depth in your area. Mine is about 6" then put down a weed barrier then stones for drainage or a bed of sand depends on the soil in your area then you reset your blocks.
Can you just reset your patio blocks? Dig them up and fill in under them with soil to level them. That would be the easiest fix.
There are also plants called steppables. I believe their low growing herbs and when you walk on them the scent of the herb fills the air. You could plant them around your blocks to fill in. Billie |

Even if I palnt steepables, weeds will still grow in between,so, i guess i will re-do them in the spring.Thank you,
