Don’t skimp on this step

What happens here

Begin by emptying bags of polymeric sand directly onto the dry paver surface. Use a stiff-bristled push broom to roughly spread the sand across the entire area, ensuring a generous layer covers all paver joints. The initial sweeping helps distribute the sand and starts to push some into the larger gaps. This ensures a good foundation for filling the joints.

Goal: Evenly distribute polymeric sand over paver surface and into initial gaps.
