What Customers Are Saying
The product is a mixed bag based on customer reviews. Many found it effectively locked pavers in place, prevented weeds, and provided a sturdy, attractive finish when applied properly. However, some customers reported issues with the product not hardening properly or washing away easily, even when following instructions. There were also complaints about the color not matching expectations and leaving a hazy residue. Customers recommend carefully reading instructions, testing a small area first, and considering alternative products if unsatisfied with the results.

Didn't hold up after one year.
Would Not RecommendWe bought this Sakrete polymeric sand and Alliance Gator polymeric sand online. After one year before sealing much of the Sakrete product turned back to sand and had to be scraped out and replaced. The Gator sand is still hard as rock. The Sakrete sand was also more coarse than the Gator sand. (Don't believe the Alliance claim that Gator sand is dustless. Neither was so plan on meticulous cleanup.)
Good paver polymeric
Would RecommendBonded well in pavers and looks good. Some bigger pieces, but those come to the top if you tamp or compact it after sweeping into cracks. Make sure to sweep it off paver stones well or it will set when you wet it.
Lasts about a year
Do yourself a favor and use something else like mortar or concrete since this isn’t permanent. I end up redoing several patches per year. You also won’t be able to use a hose let alone a power washer to clean your pavers as both end up washing this stuff away.

Excellent Paver Joint Product
Would RecommendEasy to use and provides great joint protection from insects and weeds
Bad batch - did not set
Would Not RecommendWe must have gotten a bad batch. Bought 3 containers of this for a small patio, followed directions to the letter and even watched videos to make sure were doing it correctly, let it set for the appropriate amount of time but it just never set. Has since started washing away in the rain and blowing away in the wind. Would not recommend this product to anyone unfortunately, it's not exactly a cheap experiment when you don't know if you're getting a good batch or not.
Faith, Thank you for your review and we apologize for the late response. It's unfortunate to hear that you had a bad experience with our product....
Awful
Would Not RecommendUsually not one to write reviews, but this product is simply terrible. Followed all instructions and the sand never hardens. Turned our light gray pavers a deeper charcoal/nearly black color.
Rick, It’s difficult to know what has occurred with the Polymeric sand and application at this time. Please contact us directly at 1-866-SAKRETE (866...
