Install Edging and Apply Jointing Sand

These natural stones were the perfect fit for this natural environment!!
What happens here
Complete the patio by installing edging to define its perimeter. For this project, small, rectangular edging pavers are carefully laid along the curved outer boundary. Once all pavers are in place, spread polymeric sand evenly across the entire patio surface using a shovel. Then, use a stiff-bristle broom to sweep the sand thoroughly into all the joints between the pavers. Ensure all gaps are completely filled to help lock the pavers in place, inhibit weed growth, and deter insects. Typically, after sweeping, the sand is misted with water to activate its bonding agents, which was not explicitly shown in this video.
Goal: Secure the patio perimeter and fill paver joints.
