Fixing vertical paving slabs?

[V8 Stang]

So after a near year of work i have nearly finished a patio....

However i didn't like how it met the grass, mostly as the grass is so uneven, one end was 50mm below the patio, the other 50mm above, with the centre flush.


So have decided i would like to make a step out of left over paving, create a 50mm or so step, then level the grass to suit.


I have dug a 200mm deep trench up to the paving, cut through the excess mortar and carefully removed some hardcore, so that a slab can go vertical, then backfill with dirt and level.






I am thinking of shoving a few inches of mortar in the trench, wedge some into the hardcore, then push the slab into the mortar.

Maybe coat the back and bottom of slab in paving slurry to give it some extra stick.

Do we think this should this work ok? Or a better way of doing it?

Cheers

I don't know if it will work, but I like the idea and may 'borrow' it.

I'd use an angle grinder to cross hatch the back of the uprights before you start. It will provide a key to grip.

Tiling adhesive.

Ct1 will stick them to the other slab, mortar in the bottom
