Great job mark! Love the whiteboard drawing as it makes the explanation much more easier to understand.
This is a great video to make everyone realize that we should all just use regular sand. Who in their right mind would pull up all the pavers to do what his recommendations are to fix it.
I sell polymeric sand for a living and have spent countless hours installing it, evaluating it and discussing it. This video is phenomenal, terrific content!!
Thanks for explaining the inner workings. Great video!
Excellent explaination, Mark
This was a very inciteful video. Thank you. Living in the Pacific North West, where we'll get rain for eight months straight, it seems that polymeric sand would not hold up. Things here get wet and stay wet for many months.
I think my best bet for grouting an uneven sloping Flagstone walkway will be concrete.
Dude, super helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Excellent
After the winter (freeze-thaw, I'm in Canada) gaps in between the pavers widened and thus the polymeric sand now has gaps in between. I don't know what the cause could have been whether it was the contractors not stamping the pavers after applying the polymeric sand or it could be because the car parked on top somehow move the edging a bit, ( the paver extrude above grade a bit) Wtih repairing, can we just remove the polymeric sand in those affect areas and redo it? Or do we have to redo the whole driveway?
I live south of Seattle. We get plenty of rain in the winter. We can go weeks without my pavers getting dry. Is poly sand still a good choice? I sloped the pavers so there will be good drainage.
I have scenario 1 where rain comes off a porch above the patio (no gutter) and washes sand out of the joints. Is there a better product to use in this scenario than poly sand?
I live in SW Florida, and we get torrential rain in the summer. There will be days when the sand won't have a chance to dry completely before the next storm. Would using polymeric sand be a waste of money for walkway? Thank you.
I've given up with polymeric sand and am using easy joint instead
This video is good before installing pavers not after installed with random contractors
I got regular sand mixed with my polymeric sand and now it's not really holding up. Can I salvage my pavered walkway?
Can it be used in FLordia weather
What are some methods to clean haze from polymeric sanded pavers
Can warm soap and water be used to brush the pavers one day after installation.
Hi Terry - Please check out our video "Why do some pavers turn white?" ua-cam.com/video/j4yMg0mhbPA/v-deo.html. This might be referring to the haze you are mentioning.
Great explanation!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
We just got new pavers installed by a landscape company. The sand just keeps draining from the perimeter of the steps causing open grooves. Shouldn't the sand solidify and stay in place?
Hi Madonna - Polymeric sand should mostly harden and stay in place. If you're experiencing sand loss, it could be that it wasn't installed correctly, there is inadequate drainage, or a different kind of sand was used.
Well the majority of jobs are incorrectly installed so polymeric sand is NOT recommended especially in FL! Unfortunately no one is tearing up pavers to do all that correction..
everything, use concrete...
