A friend of mine installed pavers using sand in the joints for a year or two
until he was sure there would be no settling, then he (a) pressure washed
them to wash out some of the sand, (b) sprinkled grout over the pavers and
used a broom to sweep it off the pavers and into the joints, and (c) gave it
a light sprinkling of water. It looks great, nothing grows in the cracks,
and it's really solid -- Regards --

I set 500 sf of pavers 2 years ago. DW would only agree to pavers if I
promised that no weeds would grow in between them. I used a product
called
Surebond. So far not a single weed has appeared. It's not cheap but it
works! I am not affiliated with the company - just a very satisfied
customer.

We have Unilock pavers around our in ground swimming pool. I'm
sure there are others who have pavers. How do you keep the weeds
from sprouting between the pavers? Tried an area with the weed
mat or newspaper, after a season (upstate NY) it looks the same
as the other areas. I use stone dust in the joints. I heard of
the chemical (weed stop) sand mix. Haven't located any around
here. I hear its very expense, and wears away. I hate to use a
chemical (ie: roundup) because of it getting into the pool
water. Tried the weed torch to burn them, PITA. Does anyone
have a good solution to weeds and pavers?

Thanks
