It isn't cement, it is mortar. The tiles aren't likely to go anywhere - as
you said, they are heavy - but you can lift the tile and add more/new
mortar.

I guess some of the tiles are broken, where branches hit, or who knows
why. Just go to the home improvement megastore and look for generic
"mortar"? Sounds about right for my skill level.

Thanks.
