7 Most Common Reasons for Polymeric Sand Failures

Ill be doing this myslef in a small area of 11x23 here in NYC. I think its going to be a fun project. I watch lots od videos and read all instructions before even beggining. If i make a mistake so be it. Thats called live and learn.



Thanks for sharing.

I watched this a day AFTER installing my polymeric sand 😂 fortunately I did exactly as you recommended. The instructions on the bag were followed closely as well. This video put me at ease about the job done. Thank you!

Super helpful explanations and the supporting B-roll was great. Thanks!

Very well explained in detail. I have watched many videos, but this video claimed 5 stars.!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very helpful! Thank you so much.🙏🏻🙏🏻

You did a great job on this video. We are considering pavers around the pool vs stamped concrete on our remodel. I'll go look at more of your videos now. Thanks.

One of the best video-based presentations I've ever watched. Thank you for sharing. I'm applying your knowledge to a current project.

Guys 100% correct, this was great - senior engineer and builder. Good job man,

I've always used 21AA crushed limestone and it holds up for a long time. I run a blower after sweeping the sand in and compacting to remove any dust on the pavers and I use a mister most of the time when watering the poly sand so it doesn't run out over the pavers and leave that nasty haze. This was a fantastic video though, well done. I still learn new things from your videos all the time!

Thank you for the hints.

You know your what your talking about. I wish the contractor that did my paver install watched your video first. Would have saved me a headache.

Excellent tutorial.

Thank you for the fine explanation. Have you ever done a video where you install or build a pergola on a paver patio start to finish?

Thanks so much for all the great content and sharing your wealth of experience and knowledge!

I’m installing a 300 sf patio with 1/8” inch joints…. What is the best polymeric sand that you would recommend for such small joints?

Thanks, ......a lot of good information !

Wow, I learned a lot. Thanks,

Good video, but shouldn't you use a blower to make sure no sand is left on the pavers after the sweeping is completed? The sand will harden on top of the pavers if left behind. Thanx

Hey there I really enjoy your videos and they have been super helpful when paving my backyard. I have just laid all of my pavers and my question for you today is.. Should I put my concrete edge on before doing the polymeric sand or should I do the polymeric sand process before my concrete edge? Thanks!

Very good video.

Thank you so much for an extremely helpful video; and I really appreciate your direct and clear approach - no attempts to be clever or talk about extraneous stuff. I just want to add one thing about this stuff - if your pavers have significant texture (as mine do), it's really hard to clean off the excess polymeric sand with a blower without it coming out of the joints, as well. So I ended up with joints that will need to be "topped off," maybe even with some kind of direct applicator (a straw??). Any thoughts about that situation? (And btw, this was a re-do of an existing patio whose pavers were sinking; if I had started from scratch, I probably would not have chosen these pavers!)

Good stuff!
