Spread and Dry-Sweep Joint Sand

What happens here

Begin by ensuring the paver surface is clean and dry. Then, spread a generous amount of dry joint sand, which can be either fine sand or polymeric sand (a type of sand mixed with polymers that harden when wet), evenly over the entire paver surface. Use a shovel to initially distribute the sand across the area. Once the sand is laid out, use the edge of the shovel or a stiff-bristled broom to aggressively sweep and work the sand into all the paver joints. Continue sweeping in multiple directions until all the crevices between the pavers appear to be thoroughly filled with sand. There should only be a thin, uniform layer of sand remaining on the paver surface.
