About this item

  • Fills joints up to 4 inches. Traditional installations take joints from 1/8 in right up to 4 in wide; overlay applications up to 2 in.
  • No dust and haze free. The G2 intelligent polymeric formula sweeps clean, so you are not scrubbing white polymeric haze off the paver faces afterward.
  • One watering. A single activation instead of the multi-pass soak older polymeric sands need, which means fewer chances to over-water and wash out the joints.
  • Rain safe in 15 minutes. On a traditional install you are clear of the weather window fast, which matters in spring and fall.
  • No blower required. Less equipment on the truck and no risk of blowing sand back out of the joints.
  • ASTM C144 gradation. Graded to pack tight joints properly, and OSHA crystalline silica compliant.

Why Contractors Ask for Gator Maxx G2 by Name

Wide paver joints are where ordinary jointing sand gives up: it washes out in the first storm, weeds move in, and the patio starts shifting. Gator Maxx G2 is the polymeric sand grade built for exactly that job.

  • Fills joints up to 4 inches. Traditional installations take joints from 1/8 in right up to 4 in wide; overlay applications up to 2 in.
  • No dust and haze free. The G2 intelligent polymeric formula sweeps clean, so you are not scrubbing white polymeric haze off the paver faces afterward.
  • One watering. A single activation instead of the multi-pass soak older polymeric sands need, which means fewer chances to over-water and wash out the joints.
  • Rain safe in 15 minutes. On a traditional install you are clear of the weather window fast, which matters in spring and fall.
  • No blower required. Less equipment on the truck and no risk of blowing sand back out of the joints.
  • ASTM C144 gradation. Graded to pack tight joints properly, and OSHA crystalline silica compliant.
  • 15 year residential warranty. One year commercial, backed by Alliance Gator.

Where Gator Maxx G2 Works

Alliance recommends Gator Maxx G2 polymeric sand for concrete pavers and natural stone, on traditional or overlay base systems:

  • Paver patios and pool decks
  • Driveways and parking areas
  • Walkways, footpaths and garden paths
  • Commercial hardscape and pavements
  • Natural stone and flagstone with joints up to 4 in

Where Gator Maxx G2 Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)

Per Alliance, Gator Maxx G2 must not be swept over asphalt, and must not be applied to wet or damp pavers or joints.

Do not install at 32 F (0 C) or below. Clay pavers require a test on a dry surface first.

Joints need a minimum depth of 1-1/2 in and a minimum width of 1/8 in. Pavers must be fully interlocked and the base must meet ICPI specification.

Plan for at least a 2% slope so water runs off the surface. Pool coping joints must be mortared, not sanded.

The full step by step guide is in the official documentation below. Here is the shape of the job:

  1. Spread. the polymeric sand across a completely dry paver surface.
  2. Sweep and vibrate. it fully into the joints, compacting with a plate compactor so the sand settles and you can top up any low joints.
  3. Sweep off. every last grain from the paver faces before water touches it. This step is what prevents haze.
  4. Activate with water. on a shower setting, a minimum of 30 seconds per 30 sq ft, until the joints are saturated but not flooded.

Questions about this product

Ask a question ›
How wide can the joints be?
The manufacturer rates this product for joints up to 4" (traditional base) / up to 2" (overlay). Measure the widest joint on the job, not the average; if it is wider than that, pick a sand rated for wider joints or use the project finder.
How many bags do I need?
Coverage depends on paver size, joint width and joint depth, so a bag count from a square-foot number alone can be off by half. The coverage calculator uses this product's own data sheet figures: enter your area, paver size and joint width and it gives you the bag count.
Which colors does it come in?
4 options: Slate Grey, Black Diamond, Ivory, Beige. Screens shift color, so check a color sample against your own pavers before ordering full bags if the shade matters.
What sizes are available?
Size: 50 lb. The price shown is per 50 lb unless you pick another option.
When will it ship?
In-stock orders placed before 2:00 PM Eastern on a weekday ship the same day from our Williamstown, New Jersey warehouse by UPS or FedEx Ground. The cut-off is when the carriers start arriving; order after it, or on a weekend, and it ships the next business day. Just missed it? Call (856) 418-4895: if the carrier has not picked up yet we do our best to get it out the same day.

Phones are answered 24/7; the warehouse itself is open for pick-ups and returns Monday to Friday 8 to 5 and Saturday 8 to noon, Eastern. For a pick-up, call first so we can pull your order.
Can I buy by the pallet?
Yes. Full pallets ship by freight truck, so we price the delivery for your address instead of guessing. Request a pallet quote or call (856) 418-4895 and we will call you back with a delivered price.
Where are the technical and safety data sheets?
The manufacturers' technical and safety data sheets are collected in the TDS and SDS library. Coverage, cure time and application temperatures on this page come from those sheets.
Is contractor or bulk pricing available?
No. One price for everyone: the price on the page is what contractors, landscapers and homeowners all pay. For full pallets, request a pallet quote and we will price the freight to your address.
