The most tedious part of a paver patio project. #hardscape #paverpatio

What happens here

Begin by spreading polymeric sand evenly over the entire paver surface. Once spread, use a push broom or a similar soft-bristled broom to sweep the sand into the joints between the pavers. Ensure that the sand penetrates as deeply as possible into all the gaps.

Goal: Fill paver joints with a first layer of polymeric sand.
