What happens here

Once the joints are filled, a worker uses a standard broom or brush to sweep off the excess polymeric sand from the surface of the pavers. This step is important to prevent a hazy film from forming on the paver surface after wetting. The sweeping is done carefully to avoid dislodging the sand from the joints.

Goal: Clean the paver surface of any remaining loose polymeric sand
