I'm not overly interested in the "style police" side of the story, but why a vacuum lifter for block paving? Once you've lifted one then the rest are easy. If you couldn't lever out the first one you could drill, plug and screw-in a couple of screws and use them to lift the block out. Levers may be needed. When finished, put the holey block in an inconspicuous place or....save the drill dust, mix it with PVA and poke it back down the the drill holes to make a near invisible repair.
Bodge version: Drill a hole and inject expanding foam and watch the blocks lift....then lift...until you have made a complete mess of it.
