Sweeping
sand is an essential material used in landscaping and paving projects to fill the gaps between pavers and create a stable, even surface. Also known as joint sand or polymeric sand, sweeping sand is specifically designed for filling the joints between pavers or bricks. Here are some key points to understand about sweeping sand:
Gap filling:
The primary purpose of sweeping sand is to fill the spaces or gaps between pavers, ensuring stability and preventing movement. It helps to lock the pavers in place and create a cohesive surface.
Interlocking pavers:
Sweeping sand is commonly used with interlocking pavers, which have small gaps or joints between them. The sand is brushed or swept into these gaps, where it settles and hardens, providing structural support and preventing weed growth.
Difference from regular sand:
Sweeping sand differs from regular sand in its composition and properties. It is often a mixture of sand and additives like polymers, which help it to bond and harden when activated by water. This unique feature makes it more durable and resistant to erosion than regular sand.
