Problems With My Newly Built Patio?

I just built a patio with cement pavers and builders sand. I followed the directions I found online and from looks alone, it’s a success. But, the sand in between the pavers will not settle. I have to sweep and blow off the patio almost daily and within a few hours there’s sand stirred up everywhere. I’ve bought more sand and swept it into the spaces but it just sits there very loose. Why won’t it settle? It’s like I have a big sandy mess. I’ve not bothered to buy any patio furniture because it’s not very pleasant being in a mess. Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Thanks

    You should use a polymeric sand instead of the regular sand. Polymeric will bond once wet and it will create a seal. It will also stay in place for you. Good luck!
