Polymeric Sand

Polymeric sand is a popular and effective solution for stabilizing paver joints and enhancing the durability of outdoor surfaces. This specially formulated sand contains polymers that bind and lock the sand particles together, creating a solid and cohesive surface. One of the primary benefits of using polymeric sand is its ability to prevent weed growth and insect infestation.

The polymers create a barrier that inhibits weed germination and growth between the paver joints, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance and weed removal. Additionally, polymeric sand helps to deter ants and other insects from nesting in the joints, preserving the integrity of the paved area.

Another advantage of polymeric sand is its excellent water resistance and durability. When properly installed and activated with water, the sand forms a strong bond that withstands heavy rainfall and helps to prevent erosion. The hardened polymeric sand acts as a barrier, preventing water from seeping into the sub-base and compromising the stability of the paved surface.

This water-resistant characteristic also makes polymeric sand resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, reducing the risk of cracks or shifting of the pavers. Overall, polymeric sand provides a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution for enhancing the aesthetics and longevity of paved areas, making it a popular choice for homeowners and landscapers alike.

Benefits of using polymeric sand on interlocking stones

By applying polymeric sand to interlocking stones, customers can enjoy a number of benefits, including increased stability and durability of the stones. Polymeric sand also helps to resist erosion, weed growth, and other types of wear and tear, making it a great choice for customers who want to maintain the beauty of their interlocking stones for years to come.

How we apply polymeric sand on interlocking stones

To apply polymeric sand to interlocking stones, we follow these basic steps:

Clean the interlocking stones thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any other substances that may interfere with the application of the sand.
Apply the polymeric sand evenly over the surface of the interlocking stones, taking care to fill in all of the joints between the stones.
Compact the sand firmly into the joints, using a broom or other similar tool.
Remove any excess sand and clean the surface of the stones.

Professional Help With Your Polymeric Sand Project

The application of polymeric sand needs to be done with a professional knowledgable company, otherwise a variety of issues can arise. Polymeric sand can be a difficult product to work with, requiring specific weather conditions, proper water spraying techniques and a knowledge of the depths of stonework. Polymeric sand will not help with the level of stonework, therefore it is recommended that a mason or landscaper fix any underlying issues prior to using polymeric sand.
