What happens here
The video showcases the crucial step of applying polymeric sand to a paved surface. A dry, granular polymeric sand is first distributed evenly across the surface of the pavers. Following this, a person uses a stiff-bristled push broom to meticulously sweep the sand back and forth, ensuring that it penetrates deeply and completely fills all the open joints between the pavers. The sweeping action is performed carefully to work the sand down into the crevices. This process is repeated across different sections of the paved area, including curved borders and steps, demonstrating the technique on various configurations of pavers.
Goal: Thoroughly fill all paver joints with polymeric sand.
Tools and materials
- Pavers/Paved Surface — The surface onto which the polymeric sand is applied
- Push Broom — For sweeping polymeric sand into paver joints and distributing it evenly
- Polymeric Sand — To fill and stabilize the joints between pavers, inhibiting weed growth and erosion
