Even sharp sand? I was led to believe it might be more suitable

Sand is rated coarse -> fine

“Sharp sand” is coarse sand, like concrete sand. Mason/Playground sand is much finer so it feels “softer”.

That is why I mentioned, if you must use sand, to use a coarse sand like concrete sand BUT it should still ONLY be used as the top 1” of bedding under the pavers, and NOT used for the base foundation. Even then, I would still recommend DG or 1/4” chip stone for the 1” bedding instead of sand.

Watch a few videos by “The Christian Hardscaper” on YouTube.

Btw I sent you a PM if you want to check it out!
