Polysanding paver joints.

What happens here

After sweeping and compacting, wet down the entire paver surface with a hose. The video emphasizes that this is a "polymeric sand," meaning it bonds when wet. Slowly and evenly apply water to activate the polymers in the sand, causing it to harden and form a durable bond within the paver joints. This bonding process secures the pavers and helps prevent weed growth and insect infestations.

Goal: Activate the polymeric sand to create a strong, bonded joint.
