πŸ’‘ How Much Polymeric Sand Do I Need?

Polymeric sand fills paver joints and hardens when wet, preventing weed growth and insect penetration. Coverage depends on joint width, paver thickness (which determines joint depth), and paver size (which determines joint density).

A standard 50-lb bag covers roughly 25–50 sq ft for standard pavers with 1/4-inch joints. Wider joints and thicker pavers require significantly more sand. Apply in dry conditions and activate with a fine mist of water.

200 sq ft of standard pavers, 1/4" joints, 2-3/8" thick: approximately 2 bags of 50 lb polymeric sand. Add 10% for waste and uneven joints.
