Moss growth and empty spaces. #paverpatio #hardscape

What happens here

Following the inspection for vegetation, closely examine the gaps between pavers for areas that appear empty, meaning there is no sand, dirt, or vegetation filling the space. The video highlights examples of such gaps where the edges of the pavers are exposed and nothing is visible in the joint. These empty gaps indicate that the original polymeric or regular jointing sand has completely eroded or washed out due to rain, traffic, or other environmental factors. These gaps not only allow for future weed growth but also reduce the interlock and stability of the paver system, potentially leading to shifting pavers.

Goal: Locate areas where jointing sand is completely missing, leaving empty gaps
