Another paving question

Another paving question

I have a strip of pavers, and there is a concrete (I think) edge - but some of it has broken away & there is now a gap between it & the pavers.

Next to that there is a strip of earth, & a strip drain. This is where the gutters overflow in the torrential QLD rain, & the earth has washed away a bit; and moss grows on it.
How can I fix these 2 issues?

Re: Another paving question

Hi @Scootergirl 

 

I would  dig /scrape out the  cement  crack and dig out the dirt besides the drain.

 

I would use  pre mixed sand and cement and fill both the crack and where the dirt is making that a solid cement strip between the  drain and  pavers.

 

This process can  be done gradually a bag of sand and cement at a time no rush.

 

Buy a  cement trowel to help you,
