What happens here
A worker uses a garden hose with a spray nozzle to lightly mist the entire area where polymeric sand has been applied. The water activates the polymers in the sand, causing them to bond together and solidify, locking the pavers in place. It's important to wet the area evenly and slowly to allow water to penetrate the joints without washing out the sand.
Goal: Activate the polymeric sand to harden and secure the pavers
