  • In this video we go through how to use this awesome new product, ( Easy Joint ). It is far different than your typical Polymeric sand in a few ways. I explain the differences in the video, so enjoy the video and feel free to comment with questions or feedback!

    • @TheChristianHardscaper

      Thank you, this stuff sets up very hard, not sure how it will hold up under a pressure washer though. I know any polysand that you install will get blown out if you pressure wash them. Unfortunately that just happens... They sell cleaners that you mix with water and use a brush with, then just rinse off the pavers once your done brushing. not sure if that would help in your situation... ✌

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think this sand is excellent, but very expensive…. Also, you need a good size joint for this sand to work right. If the joints are less than a 1/4 inch, this stuff doesn’t work well. But if the joints are wider then 1/4, it’s excellent ✌🏻

    Another great video! Dude...did you freak out at the owner for getting seeding into the pavers before they were jointed? 🙀 I know this material is supposed to require more work with smaller joints. I've got a paver body with Techo-Bloc Blu 60 Smooth, which has a reasonable 1/4" gap, and their Victorien pavers (basically Holland) for the soldier course, which has a much narrower gap. Do you think this product would work with that setup or do the tight joints on the soldier course make it a no go? 🤔

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, unfortunately the hydro seed guys were to blame for that…. Not a huge deal though, some extra clean up before hand, that’s all. This stuff will work fine for the Blu 60, a little more difficult with the Victorian joints….. I think you could make it happen but polymeric sand is better for those tight joints. ✌🏻

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If cost was not a factor, i would use Easy Joint as much as possible. It hardens like crazy.... But something to think about is that Easy Joint only works for somewhat wide joints, if you have small joint lines, this product will not work to good. Poly Sand has finer sand in it to allow for filling tight joints. Easy Joint has bigger sand particles in it, preventing you from filing tight joints. Other than that, this product is an A+

    Your statements seem a bit contradictory. It gets really hard, but it lets water through? How does that work? Also, how do you clean up the sand that got rinsed off onto the side of the yard and flower garden?

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  ปีที่แล้ว

      I guess they do if you don't understand how hard things can be permeable. Even concrete allows water to go through unless it is sealed or painted..... Regular polymeric sand for paver joints harden, but also seal to prevent water from going through. This Sand I am using in this video is made of slightly different polymers and different sand particles which harden, but also remain slightly permeable. Allowing water to slowly permeate through the joints and down into your base layers. The extra sand on the edges can be easily cleaned after you finish installing the sand. ✌
