Got a driveway about 6 years old that has been neglected. I have now pressure washed the surface and joints. I am planning on re-sanding joints and then coating with resiblock. Will I need to hire a wacker plate to compact the re-sanded joints? Or will just brushing in suffice. Must say that after the pressure wash treatment drive is looking good but would like to try and inhibit grass and moss in joins. Driveway is in the back garden leading to garage at rear of property so plenty of grass around.

Cheers

Graham

Hope you didn’t get carried away with that pressure washer and disturb the sub base.
Wait until the drive is completely dry then just brush kiln dried sand into the joints.
