Description
Lock paver joints fast with the Techniseal SmartSand — Jointing Sand for Interlocking Pavers. This professional-grade polymeric jointing sand stabilizes interlocking concrete pavers on patios, walkways, pool surrounds, and driveways — resisting washout, weeds, and ant tunneling once water-activated. Ideal for residential maintenance and contractor production work, available in two color-matched finishes for warm and cool palette pavers.
Product Code: 211-002 · Available in: 50-lb bag · Colors: Granite, Tan
Why SmartSand?
- Built for interlocking pavers — engineered for the typical joint widths on residential paver patios and walkways
- Water-activated polymer bond — sets a hard, semi-flexible joint that resists washout, weeds, and ants
- Color-matched finish — Granite for cool grey pavers, Tan for warm sandstone palettes
- Fast install workflow — sweep, blow off the surface, then mist to activate — standard polymeric sand installation
- All-season performance — withstands typical freeze–thaw cycles when installed per the technical data sheet
Color Options
- Granite: deep cool-grey finish — pairs with charcoal, slate, and bluestone-toned pavers
- Tan: warm sandy-tan finish — pairs with sandstone, beige, and warm-buff concrete pavers
Specifications

- Compaction: Plate-compactor required for typical install (see technical data sheet)
- Suitable Surfaces: Interlocking concrete pavers on patios, walkways, pool surrounds, and driveways
- Joint Profile: Designed for typical residential paver joints
- Use: Exterior pedestrian and residential vehicular areas; confirm vehicular suitability with manufacturer
- Bag Size: 50 lb
Application
- Prep a clean, dry surface with proper slope and drainage. Sweep to remove debris.
- Compact the paver field per Techniseal’s technical data sheet.
- Sweep SmartSand into joints until fully filled.
- Blow off all residue from the paver face with a leaf blower — surface haze comes from product left on the paver, not in the joint.
- Mist with water per the label — saturate the joints without flooding. Avoid overwatering.
- Cure per the technical data sheet before traffic, washing, or sealing.
- Test in an inconspicuous area before full installation.
Tips
- Work in dry, warm conditions — protect from rain during cure
- Best used on bare paver joints — sealed surfaces should have the sealer stripped first
- For vehicular driveway use, follow the heavy-traffic install method on the technical data sheet
- For full chemical, application, and safety information, refer to the Documentation tab below for the Tech Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet
A polymeric jointing sand — ASTM C144 graded sand blended with special polymers — that hardens after water activation to lock joints between interlocking concrete pavers against erosion, weeds, and insects.
SmartSand uses the same NextGel technology for clean application and fast wetting, but is the cost-effective choice for smaller residential jobs with normal traffic. HP NextGel is the high-duty option for wide joints, slopes, and vehicular areas.
Regular joints under 1 inch wide on flat surfaces — concrete, clay, wet cast, and interlocking pavers — in pedestrian and light vehicle areas like patios, walkways, and driveways.
Sweep the dry sand into clean, dry joints, compact, remove all dust from the surface, then activate with a controlled watering. Full steps are in the Technical Data Sheet under Documentation.
