What happens here
After the pavers are laid and correctly spaced, the next crucial step is the removal of the black plastic spacers. The narrator demonstrates this action by pulling one of the spacers from between the pavers. He explains that removing these spacers creates the precisely sized voids or joints required for the subsequent application of polymeric sand. These joints will later be filled with sand to stabilize the pavers and inhibit weed growth.
Goal: Clear the paver joints to prepare them for polymeric sand application.
Tools and materials
- Paver Spacers — To be extracted from between the pavers to create gaps for polymeric sand
- Polymeric Sand — To be swept into the cleaned paver joints to lock them in place, preventing weed growth and insect infestation
