Sweeping in Polymeric Sand and Final Compaction

What happens here

Polymeric sand is spread over the entire patio surface and swept into the joints between the pavers. Once the joints are thoroughly filled, the entire patio is compacted again using a plate compactor, which helps to further settle the pavers and consolidate the sand. Finally, the polymeric sand is lightly watered to activate its binding agents, causing it to harden and effectively lock the pavers in place, preventing weed growth and insect infestation.

Goal: Lock pavers in place and finish joints
