What happens here
The speaker explicitly states that "soon after, we'll get the polymeric sand swept into the joints of the patio." This final step involves carefully sweeping polymeric sand into the gaps between the paver stones. Once the sand is evenly distributed and compacted into the joints, it is then activated with water, causing it to harden and create a firm, durable joint. This helps prevent weed growth, insect infestation, and stabilizes the pavers, completing the patio installation.
Goal: Stabilize pavers, inhibit weeds, and enhance patio durability.
