Don’t skimp on this step

What happens here

Continue sweeping the polymeric sand into the paver joints with the stiff-bristled push broom. This is a crucial and often tedious step that requires patience. Make repeated passes, working in different directions (e.g., diagonally across the pavers) to ensure the sand fully penetrates and fills all the gaps from top to bottom. Pay close attention to narrow joints to ensure they are adequately filled. The video shows a close-up of the sand being pushed into the gaps by the broom.

Goal: Thorougly fill all paver joints with polymeric sand.
