They need laying on a sand / cement bed like you would stone setts, use a brush in polymeric jointing compound to point up.

Yes a sand and cement screed/bed would be best, then use a product like easy joint which is swept into the joints after paving the drive, remembering to use plenty of water whilst sweeping with a soft brush. After check the joints between blocks for any sinkage/indentation and top up with easy joint if needed. This Resin joint compound product also comes in a variety of colours to match coloured block. Any left over easy joint can also be stored for future use.

You can point with a few different products! Try out easy join resin , you just brush it between the gaps and it will go off solid :-)
