Iam trying to do a natural stone patio and where I live I can't get my hands on some polymeric sand so I was wondering did anyone come up with a portland/sand recipe to do the job ?thanks

Is the stone set in mortar or gravel/sand base?

I can't imagine that no one would carry poly sand, have you tried home depot. I believe they carry it.

Call any place where they sell pavers I'm sure they will have it.

the stones are set on a 3"gravel base with about a 6"sand on top of the gravel.Iam in newfoundland and the closest thing here is envirosand..was told to stay clear of that!Plus i can get my hand on plenty of sand for the cement mixture for free.so it would be alot cheaper than getting it shippped from out of province.

Wise move staying clear of Enviro Sand. That stuff moves and grows weeds like crazy.
