Leave the resin or jointing alone, the water has to go somewhere. With gravel underneath, nothing grows out there for me either.

We had 40x80 slabs laid in a split bed. Simply also because we were still unsure whether the tiles were really the right choice for us. Conclusion: Yes, after a while (now 3 years) it starts to wobble at the edges. But with us only where we subsequently set foundations for the canopy. Some joints at the edge are also somewhat wider now than others. In other words, we will have to have that corrected sometime.

In principle, you could just do the jointing later if, for example, weeds really start to grow, right? I’m just concerned that the gravel between the slabs will spread all over the terrace when cleaning / sweeping, etc.

Nothing will come out. If you're unsure, you're welcome to come over and sweep my terrace in all directions, I don't want anything for it. Afterwards, we'll have a beer.

Afterwards, you can clean an IKEA kitchen at my place to see if it is harder to clean than a Nobilia. And my Hornbach tiles, to see if they are harder to clean than Villeroy & Boch. ymmd!

I have 120×60 ceramic tiles in a gravel bed - one is already loose - after 2 months. But whatever, I'll wait and see - if it stays with just the one, it will be fixed eventually.
