How to Apply Polymeric Sand for Pavers FLAWLESSLY

[@joeytortorici405]

Dyna polymer sand is the best sand! Great job guys.

[@CesarMartinez-tp4bx]

What’s sealant brand did you guys use ??

After power washing our brick patio to remove weeds and moss between the pavers, I followed that up with a cleaning using a Zep cleaning product and a thorough power washing again. Yesterday, I broomed polymeric sand into all the cracks, used a leaf blower to lightly rid the surface of any remaining surface dust, then applied a nice misting of water over the entire surface. It's been dry overnight with no rain, and I have a great window of time this afternoon. Ques: Can I apply a sealer after only 24 hours of dry time?

[@AamasonryCa]

Yes, you can apply your sealer 24 hours after.

Great video! We just had our old poly sand replaced 2 weeks ago. The seal wasn’t placed yet and we thought it was safe to give the pavers a wash, before setting down the seal. Unfortunately the sand washed out some of the paver joints and we’re going to have redo them. Will we have to take out all that sand again or will new poly work with what’s already there?

I screwed up and left too much sand on bricks and I got sand still all over my bricks with sand

[@michaeljuers574]

Nice job but if you put it in 5 or 6 years ago it doesn’t seem to last a decade or more. 🤔

Thanks! What kind nozzle?

[@rajeshkumar27rk]

Hi A question, how much area did you guys covered and how much extra you guys charge for polymeric sand and sealing

[@domenickmedia7871]

Is it worth trying to color match existing polymeric sand if you don't know which product was used? (5-10% got blown out when we cleaned our pavers with a pressure washer). Have you had any luck doing this, or should we completely replace the sand like you have done here?

[@AamasonryCa]

No, new product won't adhere to the old. You have to remove the old polymeric sand completely by power washing, and make sure the cracks are fully dry before adding new sand and you need to tamp it again and again during the new sand application process so it makes its way down. You then brush off the excess, with a push broom so there’s no polymeric sand sitting on the stone, and then a light sprinkling of water (you can use a watering can or a light sprayer hose pointed upward, sprinkling down on the polymeric sand until saturated) for the best results.

[@domenickmedia7871]

What PSI do you recommend for pressure washer to remove the old polymeric sand?@@AamasonryCa

[@ryanreid1688]

What PSI pressure washer did you use to remove poly sand from between the pavers? Was it cold or hot water system? Any concerns with damage to top of pavers from the pressure washer? Thanks!

[@AamasonryCa]

The pressure washer is 3600 but the nozel depends on the pavers. cold water.

[@AamasonryCa]

The pressure washer is 3600 but the nozel depends on the pavers. Cold tap water is what we use.

@@AamasonryCadid you use any stripper? If so what brand?

[@JoshuaSkibinski]

What type of product is best for sealing? I assume the same as you’d use for stamped concrete?

[@AamasonryCa]

There are many products with different qualities. Contractors usually have access to the best products through trade suppliers.

[@CesarMartinez-tp4bx]

Can u please mention a few ? Thanks

[@AamasonryCa]

@@CesarMartinez-tp4bx We get a commercially only available sealer but I believe Home Depot has many sealers to choose from. Not having experience with them I can’t really recommend one over the other.

[@CesarMartinez-tp4bx]

@@AamasonryCa here in Ct some of us have access to commercial companies that sell to homeowners which is why I asked about sealers/brands you would recommend.. I will be avoiding the local box stores by all means ..

[@AamasonryCa]

@@CesarMartinez-tp4bx our supplier is a local manufacturer here in Ontario who creates products for our environment. Perhaps you can find someone similar in your local area.

Hi! I replaced my polymeric sand 4 days ago and immediately it looked like it was peeling and it never set up. I used polymeric sand that I had saved from initial job 3yrs ago so I don't know if I added too much water or if the sand was too old. Can you tell your thoughts

[@AamasonryCa]

Hi Shirley, Your result may be due to not removing enough of the polymeric sand by power washing or over saturated as you noted in your comment. A light sprinkling with a watering can is sufficient. If you are in the GTA region and require assistance with cleaning out the polymeric sand, this is a service we offer. Best, Corrine A&A Masonry 416-236-8721

[@cuarto5748]

if so, you can't powerwashing the bricks anymore. powerwashing will remove plymeric sands
