I'm quite pleased with my loose lay block brick paving. Lots of people have excess at the end of a project and give or sell very cheaply As for weeds you get some, but they struggle and are easily dealt with. Being loose lay you can easily fix any subsidence though of course a decent base helps that not happening.

If you are looking for long lasting, oak or chestnut are the best in the UK.
