What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the ease of application and immediate visual improvement, with many noting it sweeps smoothly, hardens quickly, and prevents weeds effectively. However, a substantial portion report significant durability issues—the sand washes away in rain, loosens in joints, and blows out entirely, sometimes within weeks despite following instructions. Some experience inconsistent performance between batches and note that power washing removes the sand, limiting maintenance options. While most appreciate the neat appearance and color options, weather resistance remains a major concern that divides customer satisfaction.

Sakrete Polymeric Sand

Would Recommend

This product works well. In spots you should double check things to make sure it set but for the most part it worked like a charm

This polymer material is a must to avoid weeds and moss in joints. Previous application lasted for well over 8 years ago.

Patio Paver

Would Recommend

Worked like a charm. After power washing my patio and removed the stuff between the pavers, I broomed the sand into the cracks between pavers and lightly watered the patio down as per instructions. Did another watering an hour later to make sure the glue held.

It works OK

Would Recommend

I purchased the 4 Sakrete 40-lb Gray Polymeric Sand kits. The first kit worked like a charm. However the other 3, not so much. I followed the same steps, and for some reason the sand did not stick the bricks together.. I think the last three batches were probably old.

Followed Directions-Great Results

Would Recommend

I applied this product on a 25x15, 25 year old paver patio that had been neglected. Used a power washer to thoroughly clean out the joints and pavers which were encrusted with dirt and weeds. Spent most of my time on this. Let the pavers dry, and blew the joints out with a leaf blower. Spread and swept the Paver Set into the joints, and used a plate tamp and 2x2 piece of plywood to help set the sand. Used the leaf blower to remove excess sand. Multiple light sprayings of water - careful not t...

Worked as expected

Would Recommend

Due to heavy rains and frost heaves to brick walkway needed to add more sand. I watched youtube videos to make sure I was doing it correctly and in fairness I did not take out old sand so wasn't sure what to expect as I wanted to fill in gaps before next rain. Although I did not apply completely as directed the sand held in most areas and has done its job. The reason for the 4 vs 5 stars is that this sand isn't quite as fine as I had expected so the very small gaps did wash away somewhat. I ...

Doesn't work

Would Not Recommend

They stopped carrying the other brand of polymer sand I bought years ago so I purchased this. It's as if there isn't any polymer in it at all as none of it hardened. Even after waiting two days and watering it again, it's as loose as it was before I even put a drop of water on it. What an inferior product. Don't recommend, and taking it back. What a waste of my time.

Applying product to my backyard pavers

Would Not Recommend

Followed directions as stated and at completion of project there was sand hardened on to surface of pavers and it also dulled the finish of my pavers. I followed directions and am very unhappy with finished product. I will not use this product again. I also suggest you revisit your instructions as they are not specific and complete.
