Anyone use this sand to firm up a stone driveway? I have pea gravel, QP would have packed down nice but it’s not friendly for barefeet.
Thanks
Kevin

Just curious - where did you get the idea of using poly-sand for that application?
Well, i figured pavers are just big stones, and it works for them. I might get a bag and experiment with a small section, maybe at the start of the driveway. see if it works.
