Hello,

I hope you can solve a problem I have. I installed 16x16x2 cement pavers over well compacted stone dust at my home in Connecticut. A lot more work than it looks I may add. The pavers I purchased have a 1/2" wide by 1/2" deep grove making each block look like it is 4 individual pieces similar to these....

I would like to use something like dry pack cement or mortar between all the joints so they actually end up looking like individual blocks. I was told that using cement or mortar between the 16x16 blocks is not a good choice on a stone dust base. I was told the joints will crack. How bad will they crack? Will it become a disaster?

The other choice is some type of polymetric sand I would assume. The problem with that filler material is the brand I looked at said it is not recommended for filling the shallow groves. Do any of these work in the shallow groves?

I would have picked another block if I knew all this before . Now I am in a real jam because I have all 200 blocks installed.

H E L P !!!!

Thanks a bunch,
