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.



Type "S" mortar if they have it, whatever if not. Keyword is "mortar"...it
is used for sticking stuff to other stuff.
