Should sand between newly installed concrete pavers reach top of pavers?

When we had ours pavers put in, the sand layer ended coming up until about one fingers width from the top. It’s the same between all of them so we didn’t add any more sand.

It should be slightly lower than the top of the pavers.

My contractor husband said “yes, it needs more sand.” he said you should get it wet, let it dry and add more sand. Repeat until the sand stays to the top of the pavers.

@Judi You beat me to it. We just had ours done, and that’s exactly what the contractor did.
