How to install polymeric sand, seal pavers, lay base and more, step by step.

  • How to install polymeric sand, start to finish

    Spread, compact, top up, sweep off to 1/8 in, blow off, shower and let it cure. The Alliance method in order.

  • Sweeping polymeric sand into paver joints

    Work the sand in from several directions until every joint is packed full.

  • How to seal pavers

    Clean and dry, spray a thin even coat, then back-roll.

  • How to clean pavers

    Apply, scrub and rinse.

  • How to glue wall caps

    A bead of adhesive on a clean, dry block, then set the cap.

  • How to lay landscape fabric

    Roll it out and pin it with staples.

  • Wall drainage and geogrid

    Geogrid behind the wall, clean gravel backfill.

  • How to use ice melt

    Spread a thin, even layer on steps and walks.

  • How to install paver base

    Level the bed, then lay and lock the panels.

  • How to install paver edging

  • How to repair concrete cracks

  • Paver tools in use

    Mallet, broom and pump sprayer.

  • Polymeric sand filling a paver joint

    Close up of the sand dropping into the joint before compaction.

  • Compact to settle the sand

    A plate compactor vibrates the sand down so the joint fills from the bottom.

  • Blow off before you water

    Every grain left on the paver surface can haze, so the surface goes clean first.

  • Water activation, slow motion

    A fine shower wets the joint without washing the sand out.

  • Locked-in joints

    Hardened polymeric sand keeps out weeds and ants and holds the pavers in place.

  • Choose your sand color

    Compare samples against your own pavers in daylight before you buy.
