Patio repair

Hi everyone, we had a natural stone patio laid about 10 years ago and within the past year a number of the stones have started to wobble. The smaller stones can be removed however the larger ones, whilst there is a little movement they are not completely loose. I'd like to have a go at putting it right myself, please can anyone tell me if there is a suitable adhesive that can be used to hold the smaller stones firmly in place and should I brush a patio grout into the gaps to help the movement of the larger stones? Thanks very much and hope you all have a good weekend

    Grout won’t fix this permanently.  The problem lies at the base of the pavers. One solution -remove the joint. Mix cement and sand 1:1 and make it into a pourable slurry with SBR and pour it into the rocking corner whist rocking he paver to distribute the mix (you’re filling the void underneath). A word of warning- if you get this on to your paving and fail to clean it up within 5 min, you’ll end up making a permanent mess or scraping for hours. Make it over a nice big tarp away from any hard structures.
