Great vid and tips thanks 😊 I have a 3 car block brick driveway like this And my advise to everyone asking about weeds is the fact you’ll have to accept is ……weeds will grow everywhere and anywhere ….you’ll just have to accept it But by maintaining your driveway as shown in this vid is the only/ best way to keep it looking good especially here in the UK where you can literally have 4 different weather types in one day for most months .. we do get a few weeks of sunshine every year 🤪 One other tip if possible is to hire a compacter once the sand is down which also helps to level the bricks and obviously compact the sand not absolutely necessary but an added bonus 👍🏽
Can we mix jointing sand with dry cement to fill the gaps then wet it after? Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
We recently put pavers in our driveway and plan on sealing it but wanted to know the pros and cons before we go ahead? Does sealing the pavers stop the sand from moving around so much? The moment there is was water spillage from our water hose, we see gaps and the sand is all dispersed. Will sealing it help in anyway?
Hi i no this may be a random question but jst curious to know could u add some dry cement to that sand mix it dry an brush it in to the joints so it bonds wen it dose rain any help advise would b apresihated..
Please can someone answer this. Complete novice here. I feel there is still lots of gaps between block paving. What sand do l need please ? I still it into the gaps then slightly water it? Is this correct? Please help.
Clearview Pressure washing and window Cleaning here in Florida there's a method that uses wet sand. You need a specific pressure wash tip but it does work; it was invented by a company called seal n lock. I'm working on learning how to do it, since it is much faster and requires less effort
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?

You can seal the driveway

Hi, what other sand do you recommend? In south africa i can only find one supplier of kiln dried sand and its expensive (about $50 for 25kg)
You’re not anywhere near Pittsburgh, PA USA are ya?? Lol. If so you’re hired! Thanks for the video.
Wouldn't the pressure washer disturb the base beneath the pavers? Will the sand fill those voids?
No it will not disturb the base beneath the sand that comes out is between the blocks and this is replaced to lock the blocks together
Polymeric sand is useful at sealing those joints I would guess.
Where do you get the water blower?
How long should I let it dry for? And can I sprinkle water over it once it’s done?
I would give it a day or 2 depending what time of year you resand it and ones you have done the sanding you can sprinkle water over the area
How do you aply the mist of water
Great video, how far did one bag last? I've roughly 100m2 to fill. Any help would be great
For this driveway it done 2bags and abit

Paver or leveling sand. Not play sand. Should say leveling sand on the bags
Will last a few weeks looking good, weeds will appear unless you’ve sealed it. Should’ve explained to the customer the importance of it.
The customer started she didn't want it to be sealed
Could I brush cement in between the gaps instead of sand? That way when I spray it with water it will go hard and seal it properly.
No. It will cause efflorescence
Hello from America! What are your thoughts on wet sanding?
Why as how is the sand going to fall in to the joints being wet compared to being dry it just falls in to the joints

Do you mean brush in that's for patio slabs
Hi there how many bags do I need to do a 240 square meter please ?
All depends upon the size of the gaps also
Is it polymer sand you used?
I stated in the video what sand is used
Does this type sand washed out by heavy rain? Why not use polymer sand? Does sealing stop wash out?
You don't have near enough subscribers to warrant that kind of attitude.
@@aaronsbraga Yes he does. Would drive me mad too
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?
The area has to be dry firsr
Just done mine looked spot on wen jet washed but now it’s been sanded don’t look as good maybe cus of brushing sand on it
Or poor sand
No the sand it wear and tear or the blocks. You can give it that shin by applying a sealer
How many bags did you need?
3
How much sand for the average 1 car drive?
All depends upon the size of the gaps and depth
Hi, I am to do this & been told to mix cement with sand to stop weeds coming Back, would you advise using cement with kiln dry sand?
No dont mix it what ever you do weeks will always grow but never mix with cement
My patio is about this size
What kind of sand you used
Please watch the video as it states which sand we used.
@@clearviewroofcleaning but we can not understand what you said....kill dry sand is what i hear
Kiln dry sand
If you dont seal it.... how does the sand set if you're just leaving it like that?
I know, totally newb question.~
You don't have to seal the area all the time unless the customer ask for if as its a extra cost
@@clearviewroofcleaning but how does it settle
How many bags of sand for 30x20 driveway?
Fert or mt
Sealing it would make it keep a good appearance for much longer, I would think.
Yes but the custom did not want it sealing
@@clearviewroofcleaning I think it would be worth the extra for keeping it nice, seems a bit mad to spend thousands on it and not finish it off well.
This is the customers choice we did suggest doing it.
I totally agree in what your saying
It looked better before sanding, I live in CA and I might pressure wash mine and then leave it without sanding again. Sand throws me off
Your pavers will start to shift around
Bad idea
You paving will move and shift around
If you leave sand on surface then run a wacka plate over it will clean block even more. Extra cost of course but worth it.
what if the floor is wet from rain?
You can't sand the area
Can we mix jointing sand with dry cement to fill the gaps then wet it after?
Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
No you can't as it will not be fine enough to full in to the joints
