Working in the dark to get the job done

What happens here

Before wetting, ensure all excess polymeric sand is removed from the surface of the pavers. Workers are seen using Stihl backpack leaf blowers, illuminated by flashlights, to meticulously clear any lingering sand particles from the paver surfaces and joints. This step is critical to prevent hazing or a cloudy film from appearing on the pavers once the sand hardens.

Goal: Remove all loose polymeric sand from the paver surface and joints.

Tools and materials

  • Flashlights — Providing illumination for working in low light conditions
  • Stihl Backpack Leaf Blower Stihl — Clearing excess polymeric sand and debris from the paver surface
  • Polymeric Sand — Filling joints between pavers (excess is being removed)
