Apply and Activate Joint Sand (Optional Upgrade)

What happens here

After all pavers are compacted, sweep the patio surface to remove any debris or excess sand. For an enhanced, durable finish, apply polymeric sand across the entire paver surface. Use a sweeping broom to work the polymeric sand into all the joints between the pavers. Once the joints are filled, lightly mist the patio with water to activate the polymers in the sand. This causes the sand to harden, creating a strong bond that resists erosion, weed growth, and insect infestation. If using standard joint sand, sweep it in thoroughly and ensure all joints are filled.

Goal: Fill paver joints with sand to lock them in place and prevent weed growth.
