What happens here
After the first compaction pass, visually inspect the paver joints. The sand should now be firmly settled at the bottom, leaving very little sand visible at the surface. The video shows a close-up of a perfectly filled joint after compaction. If there are still areas where the sand appears shallow or not fully compacted, sweep additional polymeric sand into those joints. This ensures complete and uniform joint fill before the final compaction.
Goal: Ensure all paver joints are fully and uniformly filled with polymeric sand.
