When it comes to laying brick. Make sure that the sand is compacted with a mechanical tamper. Make a border with cement and bricks laid into them to keep the sand somewhat in. After you lay your brick I have seen a mixture of something of 3 sands to 1 cement mix to fill in the voids, broom it in powder mist it wet..top seal everything and you should be good.

This is good advice for sunny southern geographies.

If OP lives somewhere with a freeze thaw cycle, don't do this.
