How to seal seams between bricks on a patio without using sand

brickgroutpatio

I have a patio that's made of bricks with fine sand filling the gaps. This is turning out to be a maintenance hassle. Every time the kid or dog gets mud or crud on the patio I hose it off and manage to blow more and more sand out of the cracks.

Is there a way to seal the seams between the bricks or use something more sticky than sand… like a fine grout? I like the look just fine, but it appears that I'm going to be spending a lot more time than I desire on maintenance of my patio.

What you are looking for is a joint sand stabilizing sealer. That should prevent washout as well as weed growth in the joints.
