Compact Pavers and Sweep Polymeric Sand (Initial)

base. That's the click and drop method. Phil, I want to talk about two different techniques that are being used in the industry. Pre-ompacting the 1-in sandbed or leaving it loose. I don't recommend pre-ompacting the 1in sand bed. This sand put in uncompacted is going to allow us to come back after the pavers are installed and do what we call bedding the pavers. So by compacting the pavers on top, it's going to take this sand and work it up into the first bottom third of this joint. What that's going to do is create tight interlock amongst each paver relative to the other one. And it's going to create strength in this pa system even before the polymer joint sand goes in. So, we don't recommend pre-ompacting the the bedding sand at all.
