Weeds in Pavers

A common misconception that people have in regards to pavers is that they are destined to become a place for weeds to grow. Many people think that if you build a paver patio, you will have to deal with maintaining the weeds that grow up in between the pavers for the life of the patio. While this does happen for many people, it is because their patio is not properly maintained. A properly maintained patio will not have weeds that grow up between pavers. 

At Lorenz Landscape, we use a couple different types of jointing sand. The sand is not the typical sand you would fill a sandbox with, or see at the beach. It works as a bonding agent between the pavers, which prevents unsightly weeds from growing, as well as ant infestations. 

We use two different kinds of sands at Lorenz: Wet Sand, and Polymeric Sand. Both sands provide a beautiful, weed-free patio - if well maintained. Please see below for details regarding each type of jointing sand.
