What is Polymeric Sand, and Why it’s Necessary

Polymeric sand is special sand that helps keep pavers in place. It keeps them from moving around and helps keep the area looking nice. It’s important to use paver sand when laying down pavers so they stay where you put them. Polymeric sand also helps prevent weeds from growing between the pavers, creating a neat look. It also helps improve water drainage and can prevent frost heave during cold winters.

Using Polymeric sand for your project is essential for keeping it looking great over time. Without the proper amount of Polymeric sand, your pavers may shift or become uneven due to weather changes or other factors. River City Pressure Washing has extensive experience applying Polymeric sand to ensure a long-lasting, beautiful finish. With our superior craftsmanship and specialized equipment, you can trust us with this important task! Contact us today to learn more about our paver sand application services in Central Illinois!

How to Apply Polymeric Sand After Pressure Washing

Applying polymeric sand after power washing is a great way to ensure long-lasting results and a beautiful finish. Here are the steps you should take to use polymeric sand correctly:

1. First, ensure the concrete pavers are completely dry after the power wash. Allow it to dry for several days before applying the polymer sand.
2. Measure the area where you’ll apply the polymer sand. Figure in the joint depth and width and buy enough polymeric sand to fill paver joints.
3. Spread out an even layer of polymeric sand over the area, using a broom or rake to smooth it out. Make sure the sand falls into the paver joints. Ensure there are no gaps or uneven spots in the paver joints that could cause problems down the line.
4. Use a plate compactor or tamper to firmly press down the polymeric sand into the paver joints, making sure there are no air pockets or gaps in the paver joints. Properly compacted polymeric sand will allow the polymer to bind when wet and prevent washout.
5. Sweep any excess polymeric sand off hard surfaces around your patio, driveway, or walkway. A leaf blower can remove extra sand grains from the surface.
6. Inspect the surface to ensure more sand is not needed. If needed re sand areas as needed
7. Mist the surface with enough water on the joints to soak the sand throughout. The best solution is a garden hose with a sprayer set on the shower setting.
6. Adding sealing to a finished project will help protect your pavers from water damage and other potential hazards like weeds growing between them.
