More info would be a great help! Your climate perhaps ID on the weed.
Round-up that you mix yourself can be "enhanced" by first taking warm water and slowly adding ammonium sulfate fertilizer, stiring constantly until no more fertilizer will dissolve. Then use that liquid along with a teaspoon (or less) of liquid dish detergent per gallon of solution ( I use Dawn) to mix with the glyphosate (Round-up) and use that spray. It doesn't hold over from day to day, so use what you make at that time. When finished really clean the sprayer.
If you don't want to go thru the bother, try adding dish detergent to the herbicide you are spray........1 teaspoon per gallon.
Vinegar is currently the love of "non" chemical people, but the type required for your situation is not the type sold in the store. It requires a higher concentration.
As tempted as you might be to use salt or kerosene, that stuff leaches out and kills plants growing along side the walk way. Same thing with chemical soil sterilents......so called "kills all" type weed killers. They are disasters waiting to happen.

Maybe they are lichens (fungi + algae), particularly if your paving is often damp and not too hot. Lichens are great to look at through a magnifying glass - just enjoy them and identify the different species. Are they really doing any harm?
Some species can hold damp and become rather slippery but they'd have to be large to be hazardous.

I'm afraid its trial and error. I bought a weedkiller powder from one of those pound stores and it worked a treat but they only have it in at summertime so why not try some household salt make sure you pour it into the middle of the plant so it gets down and rots it, or pour on straight undiluted bleach, but be careful not to splash it on yourself. You may need to apply them a few times to get rid of it.

Have you tried Roundup. It's absorbed by the roots and kills the pesky thing off.

I had the same thing growing on mine. Must be new. I poured straight ammonia on them. There gone now.

Pour boiling salt water on them. They'll dry up and pretty much go away.

I do not know if you could do this in the particular area you need to but you can always burn weeds...but if not that then gas alone should work.
