What happens here

This project demonstrates the crucial final step in installing a paver patio: compacting polymeric sand into the joints. Using a 'sand rattler' (vibratory plate compactor), sand is vibrated deeply into the paver gaps, interlocking the pavers and creating a stable, durable surface. The video shows the process in a backyard setting, highlighting the transformation from an older concrete and wooden structure to a new, aesthetically pleasing paver patio.
