So I've only used this pressure washer one time. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.
We just set our perma sand today. We noticed that we have a few flawed areas that can use some more sand. It has hardened by now. Not yet 24 hours. Can I reapply more perma sand and water it again? Or are we stuck with the imperfections?
We used it like it is recommended but we have a big problem with ants and them burrowing underneath while making huge mess and damage to the patio. Is there anything stronger than polymeric sand to use in between the stones to prevent ants from destroying it? Thanks

under your pavers do you have weed barrier above the dirt? I laid down pavers a month ago and there was 1 section I forgot to put the weed barrier directly above the dirt. Before and after a rainstorm that section is the only section ants will burrow through and bring the dirt between the pavers to the surface. So I suggest if you can, to remove the pavers and install a weed barrier directly over the dirt or gravel, and then put the leveling sand on top. So Option 1 Dirt, Weed Barrier, Gravel, Leveling Sand, then Paver. Option 2: Dirt, Gravel, Weed Barrier, Leveling Sand, then paver. For some reason the ants move the dirt but the sand they just burrow through maybe because it dries quicker and they have more room to move through it.
@@moselc09 Round-Up has a product that supposedly prevents new growth for up to a year. It's pricey but if you apply ONLY to the joints I would imagine it would go a long way. Good luck.
I am resealing and sanding my cement pavers i have been reading that i should activate the sand with water then wait 30 days to seal the pavers with joint stabilizer to make the joints even stronger , the contractor says all i need to do is activate the sand with the sealer with joint stabilizer and just skip the water can you please give me your thoughts
Stone Works Canada installs interlock pavers from Unilock, Techo-bloc, and others in Toronto, Mississauga and Oakville and we use Techniseal polymeric sand in all installations to the highest client satisfaction
Yes, waiting 30 days before sealing freshly installed pavers will allow the natural efflorescence to evaporate from concrete products, avoiding the formation of whitish spots underneath the coating. This is a rule of thumb; the waiting period may vary depending on the climate and the type of product used. For specific information, please feel free to contact our technical support team.
@@danbalkey2580 Even in the case of a surface restoration, it is recommended to wait for at least 30 days to make sure the polymeric sand has fully cured. Sealing a freshly jointed installation too quickly might affect the polymeric additives and jeopardize joint stabilization. In all cases, waiting for at least a month before sealing pavers is recommended by both concrete product companies and maintenance product manufacturers. We hope this answers your question; if you wish, you can always reach out to our technical support team to discuss the situation further.
ok I want to use Gator Sealer after this application. How long should I wait? I know you recommend 30 days to cure before a cleaner is used how about a sealer? Unless you recommend cleaning before you seal? Thanks...
Hun! Going to get a Leaf Blower. Thank god I didn’t start my project before seeing that. I got the brick layer down from a builder and it’s a year later. Time to finish the job.
We recommend waiting at least 48-72 hours before placing patio furniture and BBQ grills back on the surface. This will allow the sand to properly cure and gain sufficient resistance to sustain the weight of such objects.

We recommend waiting at least 30 days after pavers have been jointed to consider sealing them. For more information, please consider visiting our website at 👉 bit.ly/3Gz4ln7
At a minimal, temperature must be above 32°F for 48 hours following installation. For more information about our polymeric sands, you can always get their complete Technical Data Sheet online at bit.ly/30vw0AT

Just got done taking out the old polymeric sand on my front walk and installing new sand. Your directions were on spot on.,,,, Thanks!
How did you remove old sand?
Did you vibrate the new sand?
We're glad it could help :)
I love the details in this video like the polymeric is not done curing until 90 days. Great video I shared it widely.
Thank you!

Just curious, how many bags did it take to do that job?
About 20

Do you reccoment sealing the pavers after cleaning and adding Polymeric sand. I live in Florida and pavers always are covered with mold...

You totally don't need a leaf blower. Just sweep it well.
Any other tips
What a beautiful paver. Where do I buy like this?!
At a paving store
amazing work
Thank you for the kind words 🙂
No rain for 24 hours? Yikes… I guess I’ll ask the contractor to point the blower towards the clouds as well so it doesn’t rain! 😂
what a great well explained video :)
Thank You :)
WHY DO I WASH ONTO STONE NO MATTER HOW CLEAN IT IS. I have sand tracked all trough my house now that the sidewalk is finished. Help!
Explain super
Thank you 🙂
You should always try and hose those suds off of the pavers.
