How To Install A Natural Stone Patio

What happens here

After all pavers are laid and cut, spread polymeric sand evenly across the paved surface. Use a push broom to meticulously sweep the sand into all the joints between the pavers, ensuring complete filling. Then, use a vibratory plate compactor to firmly settle the sand. This initial dry compaction helps the sand penetrate deeply into the joints.

Goal: Sweep polymeric sand into the paver joints and compact the area for stabilization.
