How to fill gap between pavers and retaining wall?

I have a small gap between a strip of pavers and a garden bed retaining wall. I recently pressure cleaned everything - but with all the rain we’ve had, I think that earth is splashing up from the pavers onto the retaining wall. I’m hoping that by filling in the gap, it will stop this happening. 
what would I use to fill this gap?

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: How to fill paving gap

Hi  @Scootergirl 

 

I would highly  recommend a polymer  sand that brushes in between the paver cracks and sets to form a  bond between  pavers.

Just  follow there instructions. 

 

This will lock the dirt  from washing out done right.

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,
