What happens here
The most labor-intensive step is to thoroughly pressure wash the entire paver surface, with a particular focus on the joints between the pavers. Use a pressure washer equipped with an appropriate nozzle (e.g., a 25-degree or rotating turbo nozzle) to blast away all old sand, dirt, weeds, moss, and any other accumulated debris. The goal is to remove the joint material completely down to the very bottom of the paver's base layer, not just the surface. This process is described as "very, very tedious" and requires patience and meticulous attention to detail to ensure every joint is free and clear. A worker is shown using a pressure washer on the paver patio, systematically cleaning the joints. The pressure washer itself is yellow, suggesting a common brand such as DeWalt or Stanley.
Goal: Remove all old sand and debris from paver joints
