After compaction, spread polymeric sand evenly over the entire paver surface. Use a push broom to sweep the polymeric sand into all the joints between the pavers, ensuring each joint is completely filled. Remove any excess sand from the paver surfaces, as residual sand can leave a haze. Once the sand is properly distributed, gently mist the entire paver area with water according to the polymeric sand manufacturer's instructions. This activates the polymers, creating a durable, flexible, and weed-resistant joint that helps lock the pavers in place.
