Poly sand vibes 🥰
What happens here
After the initial sweeping, continue to consolidate the polymeric sand within the joints. You can gently tamp down the sand in the joints with the push broom or a hand tamper. As shown in the video, use a rubber-edged squeegee or a similar flat tool to firmly sweep away any remaining loose sand from the top surface of the pavers. For tighter areas, such as against a door threshold or wall, use your hands or fingers to push the sand deeply into the crevices, then brush away any surface particles to ensure the paver faces are completely clean and free of sand.
Goal: Ensure paver joints are fully packed and the paver surfaces are clean
