Paul,
Complete boll**ks, block paving needs to be re-sanded (kiln dried) after washing, simple as that.
Can't comment on the price, as I don't know the size of the area.
Get them back to finish the job.

Sand is required to add stability to the blocks. Weeds will grow through equally as fast as without sand in my opinion.
