'What joint width is recommended?', 'answer' => 'Most pavers use 1/4" (6mm) joints filled with polymeric sand. Wider joints (up to 1/2") allow for slight irregularities in paver size. Tighter joints look cleaner but require more precise cutting.'], ['question' => 'Do I need to seal pavers?', 'answer' => 'Sealing is optional but recommended. It enhances color, prevents staining, and helps lock in joint sand. Seal within 90 days of installation and re-seal every 3–5 years.'], ]" />
