Don’t skimp on this step

What happens here

After all joints are filled and compacted, perform a final, very thorough sweep to remove every last grain of polymeric sand from the paver surfaces. Any sand left on the surface before wetting can cure and create a permanent haze or stain. A leaf blower can be very effective at removing fine dust and remaining particles to ensure a pristine finish. The video shows the final sweeping action.

Goal: Ensure paver surfaces are completely free of polymeric sand.
