This sand is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth. Most bedding applications run 1 to 2 inches, so a 300 square foot patio job typically needs somewhere between 1 and 2 yards depending on how deep you set it. For mortar mixing, figure your batches separately since that use eats sand faster than a bedding layer does.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Most jobs using this sand also need base material underneath it, typically crushed stone or gravel to handle Ashtabula's clay subsoil before the sand layer goes down. If you are setting pavers, some crews are shifting to clean chip stone instead of sand for the joints since it does not pump out over time. Either way, it is worth deciding on your full material list before the truck shows up.
Service area
For mortar mixing in Ashtabula's climate, keep your sand covered before use if rain is in the forecast, since wet sand throws off your water to mix ratio and weakens the bond. This matters more here than in drier climates because lake effect moisture off Erie can turn a dry pile damp overnight even under a tarp with poor coverage. Check moisture before every batch, not just the first one.
A common mistake on paver jobs is using this fine sand for joint fill on pavers, then wondering why joints wash out or grow weeds within a season or two. This sand was built for mortar workability, not joint stability, which is why more installers around here are switching to chip stone for joints and saving this material strictly for mortar mixing and pool base work.
Order your base gravel and this sand together when possible so you are not paying for two separate delivery trips to the same clay soil site. Since Ashtabula's clay drains slowly, a thicker gravel base paired with a modest 1 inch sand bedding layer often performs better long term than skimping on base and going heavy on sand.
Ashtabula sits on clay soil, which means drainage is already working against you on any hardscape project. This sand does not fix drainage, it is a bedding and jointing material, so plan your base prep with that clay in mind rather than expecting the sand layer to do the drainage work. With hardscape season running spring through fall here, most orders come in for patios, walkways, and pool decks going in before the Oct 20 frost date. Mortar work especially needs to happen before temperatures drop enough to affect cure times.
Masonry sand is washed and finely screened, the right choice for mortar work, paver joints, and sandboxes. Fill sand is coarser and less processed, better suited to leveling, bedding pipe, and filling low spots.
For pavers, screed a 1 inch sand bed over a compacted base rather than using sand to fix deep grade problems. A thin, even bed locks pavers in place. A thick one shifts underfoot.
Slightly damp sand spreads, screeds, and compacts far more easily than bone dry sand, which just flows back into your screed lines. Lightly wetting the pile before you work it saves real effort.
