the final step of a paver patio
What happens here
After the pavers have been installed, begin by distributing polymeric sand over the entire surface of the pavers. Use your hands to gently push and sweep the sand into the joints between the pavers. Special care should be taken when working near doorways or other structures to ensure that excess sand does not accumulate in areas where it could interfere with moving parts. Continue to sweep and work the sand until every little crevice and joint is completely filled, ensuring a uniform and dense packing of the sand.
Goal: Thoroughly fill all paver joints with polymeric sand
