Just had our paver patio pressure washed. Some sand washed out between pavers at that time. Would you top dress/fill in the spaces with regular sand or use polymer sand. Space between pavers is <1/8 of an inch in most places.

If you go with the paver sand in the black bucket at hd or lowes it actually has an adhesive in it that helps prevent the same issue you ran into.

sand is not a compositional description, but a textural description. Sand is an actual size of particle. It ranges from 2 mm in diameter to 0.0625 mm in diameter. You can see the finest grains of sand with your naked eye!

I used Gator Maxx on mine, and have been happy with it. I didn't use a compactor on my test area, and some of it got washed out (that is right where most of my roof water hits the ground though). Everything else has held up very well, and there are very few random weeds that'll poke through once every couple of months.

So OP, rent a compactor when you do it
