What happens here

Begin by ensuring the paver surface is completely dry and free of loose debris. The video shows polymeric sand already spread across the patio. Using a specialized paver joint broom, which has both a scraping edge and stiff bristles, sweep the dry sand vigorously across the paver surface and into the joints. Work in multiple directions (e.g., diagonally) to ensure the sand penetrates deep into all crevices and fills them completely. The scraping edge of the tool is used to push the sand, and the bristles help sweep it into the gaps.

Goal: Fill paver joints with dry polymeric sand.
