Paving question

I had a paving job done recently. The actual paving itself is fine, but they didn't sweep paving sand/concrete in between the pavers. I have questioned the tradie about this, and he has said that sweeping paving sand into the joints wasn't in the contract.

My question is, isn't it a part of the job? Like grouting between tiles? Is it worth my trouble to pursue this, I feel as though I am being taken for a ride here.

Any advice appreciated.

Even if they broomed sweeping sand over the pavers when they laid them, after a couple of rains and as the pavers settle, voids will open up and more sweeping sand will be required. This would be your responsibility. You may have to do this several times in the first year.

Thanks Beetaloo. I figured I would have to re-apply, I thought that the initial sweep would be part of the job though.

Oh well. You live and learn.
