for a DIY, they did decent! #diy #paverpatio
What happens here
Spread a layer of polymeric sand over the entire paver surface. Use a push broom to sweep the sand into all the joints between the pavers. Ensure the joints are completely filled. After sweeping, lightly mist the patio with water according to the polymeric sand manufacturer's instructions. The water activates the polymers, causing the sand to harden and lock the pavers in place, preventing weed growth and insect infestation.
Goal: Lock pavers in place and stabilize the patio
