I just moved and inherited a yard with what looks like it was once a beautifully landscaped garden. But it's obviously been neglected for a while and it's in need of some TLC. There are wonderful paths through the yard, but the pavers are overgrown with grass and a bit slimy. I'm wondering what the best way to remove the grass and clean up their appearance would be. I know I could Round Up the grass, but I'm not any more thrilled about pavers filled with dead grass than I am the live grass. ;)

Would a wiry push broom and some diluted bleach do the trick? Would it seep at all into the new flower bed I've planted (which is edged with stones, but otherwise comes in contact with the paths) and damage the plants?
