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?
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?
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,
