What happens here

Before starting, ensure your paved area is clean, dry, and ready for polymeric sand application. Spread the polymeric sand evenly across the paver surface, making sure to fill all the joints between the pavers. The video then introduces a specialized tool referred to as a 'broomhose,' which is a broom with an integrated water hose. Observe how the water hose is connected to the broom's handle and how a control allows the user to activate and regulate the water flow. The narrator explains that water will pass through the handle and exit near the broom head, enabling simultaneous sweeping and wetting. Ensure the broomhose is properly connected to a water source, such as a standard garden hose, and the water flow can be easily turned on and off.

Goal: Prepare the paved surface and familiarize yourself with the broomhose's operation.
