Dave - the only thing I can think of would be to paint the mortar either the color of the pine straw or the color of your pavers.
Yours is a good case it seems for application of this plastic stripping.
I also had a guy put in a paver walkway and he put a mortar footer down in two strips along the outside row of where the pavers were going, so the pavers sat right atop the footer, instead of atop a base material, thus providing more stability and eliminating the need for an outside framing material. never saw that done before but I liked the idea.
Took him forever to get his part done - he was hired by the owner - not the contractor - friend of a friend. I had to work around all his stuff and he never did clean up after himself....
