Subject: remove stains from duck droppings
Hi Kent,
Yes, you will need to use a higher graded cleaning solution for this. Here are some paver cleaning products we recommend:

Subject: Paver joints
Hi Donald,
You could just sweep new masony sand into the joints as a temporary solution, however you may be better off filling the joints with a more longer term solution using a joint sand stabilizer product.

Best of luck!

Subject: Grass turf pavers
Hi Jeff,
For a driveway that has vehicular traffic, a 4,000 PSI rating may not be strong enough to absorb the heavier traffic load, especially over the long term. You should look for a minimum of 6,000 PSI rating or higher.
Here is a good article about this:

Is it advisable to use a square pattern grass block (4,000 rating) for a 6,000 SF driveway servicing 9 homes? I am concerned about the dimensional stability of the pavers with daily use of about 13 vehicles weighing 4,000 - 5,000 lb. & heavier vehicles who ignore the sign not to drive on.
What would be your recommendation?

Subject: coping around indoor pool
Hi Mitch,
Generally the thinnest bullnose paver should be no less than 1.5 to 2 inches thick, though it is does depend on what type of load bear will be required, so if it was for just foot traffic, this will suffice. But for vehicular traffic, you may need a thicker paver with a high PSI ratio.
Here is some further detail:
