Hello all...my first post Just wondering what is the best product for filling the cracks in a Brussels driveway. My problem is the rain and general cleaning off the driveway causes a lot of the slag sand to disappear. I've heard of polymerized materials, but the color is tannish (is that a word?) and my pavers are gray and mahogany. My base is excellent, so I haven't had any serious movement of stones yet. Thanks in advance. BTW, I live near a Unilock plant, if their product is the best suggestion.

My supplier has polymeric sand in grey as well as tan. It sounds like it will be the ticket for your situation. I believe Unilock's ploymeric sand has multiple earth tones, at least it does from their Brewster plant.

Pelican, thanks for the reply. I'm glad you pointed out the alternate colors exist.

Regarding the polymerized sand...if you happen to leave some of the dust on the face of the pavers does it bond to the surface, thereby creating a problem?

Sure does.

If it's in a place with foot/vehicle traffic it should wear off with time. In less travelled areas, it will eventually come off.

Key, of course, is making sure it's thoroughly cleaned before misting.

A very valuable trick provided by a member here (*nod to Site*) - if you get plymer sand on the tops of pavers, use vinegar to help get it off.

But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
