What happens here
The initial phase of applying polymeric sand involves meticulously sweeping the dry sand into the joints of the newly installed pavers. This crucial step is performed to ensure that all gaps and crevices between the pavers are completely and evenly filled with the sand before it is activated with water. The narrator confirms that this preparatory step has just been completed, indicating that the paver joints are fully packed with dry polymeric sand, making the patio ready for the subsequent wetting process.
Goal: Thoroughly fill all paver joints with dry polymeric sand.
