It's a bit of a hard question to answer....any pressure washer will remove weeds, although that is not their primary function.
 To clean block paving (and remove weeds ) at a reasonable rate so you will make money, I would suggest a minimum of 15 lpm  3000 psi . A turbo nozzle will increase the efficiency of the machine. Weedkilling prior to cleaning would make the job easier. A FSC  will reduce the time spent cleaning the surface.

A good dose of weed killer will help eliminate weeds, then even if you don’t completely remove them during cleaning you can tell the client they will eventually disappear

I have  12lpm loncin machine with turbo.

It's fine for small areas such as patios and decking etc. However mines only for occasional use as an add on to window cleaning business. It's decent enough, more so when used with chemical assistance but if you were looking at anything other than occasional use or larger areas you need something bigger as it just takes too long.
