		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion the key to a long-life concrete or brick unit paver surface&#8211;assuming the foundation structure is properly built&#8211;is re-sanding. As discussed in other articles at this blog the sand is the &#8220;glue&#8221; that &#8220;locks&#8221; the individual pavers together. The sand, when wedged tightly in the narrow joint between the pavers, essentially &#8220;locks&#8221; the [...]]]></description>
