I am in the process of building out a circular patio/firepit on an incline.
It is a 16' diameter patio with a slope change of about 1'. Thus, I have built out a retaining wall that grades with the slope. This will be a gravel patio but I want to use some grey rumblestone pavers along the border (about the same size as a brick).
There are approximately 175 pavers around the border (the short edge facing out) so there is about a 2 degree "gap" along the outside edge. For about 1/3" of the circle, that isn't an issue since the stones are flush and I am treating it like a standard paver install (sand between joints). For the remaining section, I plan on using masonry adhesive to attach the pavers to the top of the retaining wall.
Although the gap is small, is there a preferred way to fill the gap? Should I be looking at using mortar in between them for a cleaner look?
Thanks in advance!
