Concrete question

[DR]

My wife is laying flagstone for our patio. She's using a mixture of concrete
and sand to "grout" the stones. It holds the stones in place but doesn't
"glue" them in permanently. Is there something I can spray/apply over the
mixture so that sand isn't being tracked into our house? Something to hold
the mixture more in place? Thanks

If she mixes the cement and sand correctly - the right ratio - and mixes
them thoroughly with the right amount of water, tracking sand shouldn't be a
problem.

I swept dry mortar mix in and misted it when done . It hardened like cement.

In any instance, it's impossible not to track sand, grit and dirt into the
house. A coco fiber mat will do wonders to protect laminate floors like
Pergo or natural wood. Problem is most folks forget to shake out entry mats
periodically.
