How were they installed? Photo?
What are the pavers made from, and how were they installed? Generally you remove sod, dig down about 3-4" add a layer of decomposed granite, landscape fabric, sand, then pavers, leveling as you go. Then lock in place with polymetric sand, sweep into all the seams, and then wet down.
Sand helps stabilize them

Ive been reading a number of threads, and the most consistent is that an “edge“, brick or half-sized pavers, or plastic, needs to literally be glued down to restrain movement of the pavers.

on google there a ton of info, but I hope these help.
Well, you’ll have to clear up the old stuff. HD sells edging to keep your pavers in place. It’s glued to the initial cement surface. Or you can use half blocks or rocks or whatever. Like tray edges to keep stuff from sliding off. When thats done, you’ll clear out the trash grouting. HD and others carry an epoxy sand resin, which “freezes” the sand, etc grout. Remember that you’ve stabilized the movement of the pavers, so they won’t shift to mess this up.
Go to Google to get a far more intelligent and informative direction than I’ve given you, but hopefully I’ve peaked your interest and given hope.
