I poured and compacted several bags of decomposed granite on my front yard path, then sprayed NanoPave. The GD hardened so that it did not spray up or move when my 5 year-old grandson raced down with his bike and kept slamming on his brakes. It is imperative that we compact the DG or else the remaining air between the granules of granite will not allow the whole thing to harden properly. I poured 2 more bags of DG over the originally hardened path (to raise it higher) but failed to compact it and ooops - my mistake: the top layer did not harden properly.

Handyman, Glad you had solid initial results. Yes, compaction is key to attaining optimal results. Also, it's difficult to get a 'bond' when adding a layer of decomposed granite thinner than 1.5", it is like 'thin iced on a pond and oftentimes can be too brittle. Thanks for your business and please let us know if we can be of assistance. TechniSoil

Purchased three gallons to stabilize sand between pavers....major fail first rain. Used a gallon sprayer to apply during evening hours, looked great after application, but now it is mess.

    The product is good, but not great. What I applied generously is deteriorating with the weather is the same reason why I bought the product to deter from the weather!

    The JSS product shouldn't deteriorate in normal weather conditions.
    As you mentioned, it's designed to deter erosion, flaking, etc.
    Coverage rates, jointing material, application methods and job site
    conditions can always play a factor. To assure we can offer the best support
    please give our Technical Support Team a call @ 877.356.2250 so

    Easy to apply with a garden pump sprayer with easy cleanup. In applying to a paver pathway, there really wasn't enough standing solution to require use of a moss rubber squeegee, so I ended up returning that. I'm about 2 weeks post-application and the sand joints appear to have set well. So I can't comment on durability; using a gas blower on the pathway doesn't seem to be removing any material. As others have mentioned, I would certainly avoid using a pressure washer or even a concentrated stream of water from a nozzle.

    The pebbles between our pavers were always coming out making a mess on our walkway. Nanopaver has secured them down & now the walkway stays clean only drawback.....TOO expensive & we had to use 3 coats to secure the pebbles.

    So far so good. Can’t review the longevity of this product. But ease of use and quality is excellent. Finish is very appealing, made old pavers look new. I used this in place of the sand lock products, got tired of redoing every 1 1/2 yrs. i hope this stuff lasts longer

    Not very impressed!
    I have a patio made of 18 X 24" concrete squares that used to have 2 X 4" wood between them; the wood had rotted out so the spaces were thoroughly cleaned. I packed 1/4"-minus decomposed granite between the squares by a repeated process of filling and compacting with a piece of lumber and a rubber mallet; the material was fully compacted. I calculated the amount of area of the decomposed granite that I wanted to stabilize at 62 sq. ft.; since the Nanopave material is supposed to cover a minimum of 60 sq. ft. in this application and I wanted to make sure I applied enough of the product, I ordered and applied 2 gallons with a garden pressure sprayer. This allowed full saturation of the granite. We've had no rain and the daytime temperature has been 68-72 degrees for well over a week. As you can see from the photos, normal foot traffic continues to cause substantial scattering of the granite granules. I have to sweep or blow off the patio every 1 or 2 days to keep from tracking the granite into the house.

    We apologize your project did not meet expectations. The issue here is the compaction of the joint materials before applying NanoPave JSS. If the joint materials are compacted before application, it will significantly block penetration of the polymer into the jointing material effectively leaving a crust. Compaction of the joint materials after the NanoPave JSS application would increase stability, however it is not required if the project meets recommended material and application guidelines. For more information on repairing the project area, please contact our Technical Support department at 877-356-2250. TechniSoil

    Not to be used for older flag stone installations
    We have a larger flagstone patio we installed a few years ago. We wanted to cut down or eliminate the clover growing and ant coming up between the joints. We used this product and were extremely disappointed. We called customer service at the manufacture and they explained that you need DUST to be mixed in with the sand or crushed stone to harden the joint stabilizer product. This product may be good for new installations but not for existing installations. The pictures show what happen within 2 weeks of installation.

    The joint material in the picture appears to be severely degraded from washout and weed growth. The TechniSoil.com FAQ section for NanoPave JSS regarding existing applications discusses this situation in detail, essentially stating that hardscape surface stones and joints will need to be repaired if there is damage or degradation before NanoPave JSS can be applied. The NanoPave JSS installation guidelines are also explicitly clear when it comes to joint material selection according to the size of the joint. Joints from 3/4" up to 4" wide require a crushed stone mix material with a gradation that includes crushed rocks, fines, and stone dust. 3/8" minus decomposed granite (DG) is the most popularly used material for this reason. We also recommend to perform a test section first to determine suitability of the materials being used, and if there are any questions, it is best to contact our Technical Support desk before proceeding with the project.

      Easy to apply and performed above expectations
      I used Nano Pave on a small broken concrete patio I was making where the joints were as much as 3" wide. I didn't want to have just loose gravel in the joints because it's always a mess and awkward with regard to chairs, etc.; so when I saw this product, I thought I'd give it a try. It was all very simple to apply, cured overnight, and we love the natural look of the "Ghost" non-glossy finish. We're getting the 5 gal containing next time, we've got a walkway to put in!

      Outstanding product
      I typically don't do the online reviews but I figured I would put in my two cents. I had to reset about 300 square feet of older concrete pavers in my backyard. I needed something to stabilize the joints since I used a regular sandbox sand vs the polymeric sand which is a lot more expensive. The product is phenomenal so far only time will tell how long it holds up. Super easy to apply and it won't stain your pavers or stone if you overspray. Below I attached a photo which shows treated area and untreated area which was washed out after heavy rains. I ran out of the stuff so I had to order more from HD. Great product hopefully it will stand a test of time.

      This product is amazing!
      I am doing a flagstone patio and am using 1/4"-minus ground basalt as the joining material. This product is a 2-in-1 joint stabilizer and sealer and basically solidifies the joining material. It works GREAT! Easy to apply and after talking with one of their Rep's, even up here in the northwest I should only need the one coat which will last for at least a couple of years. I would HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone doing a project like this, especially if you want a more natural-looking hard surface. This is the 'Ghost' version of this which gives it a more natural look. They also have a 'Hi-gloss' version.

      This stuff does exactly what it says it does, stabilizes joint material. We had a new flagstone patio installed and decomposed granite was used for the joints. It was tapped into the joints thoroughly but it never really settled in. Strong winds and rain would cause the joint material to move around quite a bit and end up on top of the flagstone. Nanopave JSS doesn't set up hard like concrete but it does stabilize the joint material so it doesn't move so easily. Once it hardened I was able to use the blower without scattering the decomposed granite and no longer had to worry about a strong rain moving it around. I just sprayed the joints with it and let the overspray on the flagstone happen. It comes out cloudy but when it dries you can't see it on the flagstone. Well worth the money and now I don't have to worry about the material getting displaced.

      This product saved my stone patio project!
      Unknown to me, polymeric sand is designed to go soft when it gets wet. Due to my gap size (3/4"), the polymeric would wash out with rain... very frustrating. Looking for a solution I found the Nanopave JSS, which had great reviews. I called TechniSoil directly and their support is amazing. They told me how to directly apply the Nanopave JSS product to solve me problem... and it worked beautifully and only slightly changed the finish. What a great product and company!

        Used this product to harden the DG between our flag stone patio. Really works well as long as you really soak the DG. Expensive but I do not know another product that can do the job as well as this one.

        Paver sealer
        Easy installation with sprayer. No adverse effects to pavers still appear natural. After a month sand is firmly in place.
