A lot of thought actually goes in to the placement!!
What happens here
After all the pebble pavers are laid, the final steps typically involve stabilizing the surface and filling the joints. Although not explicitly shown in the video, this usually includes sweeping polymeric sand or fine aggregate into the gaps between the pavers. Once the sand is swept in, the area is lightly misted with water (for polymeric sand) or compacted with a plate compactor to settle the sand and lock the pavers in place. This helps prevent weeds, erosion, and shifting of the pavers, creating a durable and stable patio. Clean any excess sand from the paver surface as per product instructions.
Goal: Stabilize pavers and fill joints for a durable finish
