Installed this marble paver patio less than a year ago and have weeds continuously growing the cracks. We spread a few layers of thin sand during install and about a month after but no polymetric yet.
Any ideas/suggestions on how to prevent weed growth? Thanks in advance

Salt the earth. Kill the weeds. Poly sand in the spaces when the weeds are dead and removed.
They make products like roundup 365 that’ll provide season long control for this application
Gotta spray baby spray!
Spray the area with white vinegar and dish soap.
1-3 oz of soap per gallon of vinegar is probably fine, can even dilute it down a bit with water. Also safe for golden doggo.
Bleach them, use a heavy solution of bleach water and spray the weeds but dont spray near the lawn or garden. Vigorous pool splashing should help keep them at bay.
Sorry, I stand corrected i missed the part where this is marble. My mistake. Dont’ bleach it.
A tea kettle of boiling water
Horticultural vinegar. Boom. done.

There’s no solution for weed free pavers. Usually recommend vinegar. But Vinegar is known to etch marble. Boiling water will work. Just have to keep up with it.
Roundup
Mixture of white cleaning vinegar, salt, dish soap & water is an effective & environmentally safe weed killer.
I have always recommended Boiling salt water or weed whip. And hand pulling. Good luck out there
Some herbicides claim a 1 year life for hardscapes- I’d look into that
Long handled hoe just chip the heads off over and over
I use boiling water from the kettle.
Weeds always find a way. All things take maintenance lad. I was digging out rain detention areas today because over time, they silt up a bit. No biggie.
