What is polymeric sand?
The majority of exterior interlock is held together with polymeric sand. Polymeric sand is a granular substance that fills in the gaps between interlocking stone, and when water is applied turns into a glue making your hardscape a more durable surface. The sand comes in black, grey and beige (custom colours can be available).
Polymeric sand should be re-applied the second you notice that certain areas have been washed away or weeds are slowly starting to appear. Once weeds have fully overgrown the area, it is difficult to remove them for good.
Benefits of using Polymeric Sand
- Improves the overall durability of the hardscape that you install
- Weed deterrant
- Insect deterrant
- It takes a long time for sand to wash away with heavy rain
Professional Help with your polymeric sand project
The application of polymeric sand needs to be done with a professional knowledgable company, otherwise a variety of issues can arise. Polymeric sand can be a difficult product to work with, requiring specific weather conditions, proper water spraying techniques and a knowledge of the depths of stonework. Polymeric sand will not help with the level of stonework, therefore it is recommended that a mason or landscaper fix any underlying issues prior to using polymeric sand.
