What happens here

This project focuses on a critical step in paver installation to prevent weed growth: the proper compaction of polymeric sand. It instructs on sweeping polymeric sand into paver joints twice, with a vibratory compactor used after each sweep to ensure the sand fully settles and completely fills the joints. This creates a solid, impenetrable barrier against weeds. Additionally, the video briefly reiterates the importance of robust subsoil compaction as a foundational measure for weed prevention.
