Thanks FDR. polymer grout...? Interesting! Seems, like it could be a
pain to install. If it installs like ceramic tile, you can’t rub off
the haze on pavers…
I wonder if polymer would prevent the natural drainage that is needed
around a pool.
FDR, What did you use for grout? Have any problems?

We never grouted it. We were going to fix the uneven pavers first,
but the contractor never came back. Now I just spray it with Roundup
long term weed preventer. It works well.

We have Unilock pavers around our in ground swimming pool. I'm
sure there are others who have pavers. How do you keep the weeds
from sprouting between the pavers? Tried an area with the weed
mat or newspaper, after a season (upstate NY) it looks the same
as the other areas. I use stone dust in the joints. I heard of
the chemical (weed stop) sand mix. Haven't located any around
here. I hear its very expense, and wears away. I hate to use a
chemical (ie: roundup) because of it getting into the pool
water. Tried the weed torch to burn them, PITA. Does anyone
have a good solution to weeds and pavers?

Thanks


A chemical but it will kill everything and anything. Be careful of
wanted roots that
may be near or under the weeds.

We had a contractor that was going to put a polymer type grount to
fill in the cracks....never got it done but sounded like a good
solution that would last.





Triox works better. Sterilizes the soil. Nothing can germinate...even if
you plant something in it.

Ortho makes both products. I guess one saves a nickel but may work just
as well. I go for the sure kill myself. No stragglers.
