At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a 200 square foot paver patio bed needs a little under a cubic yard at that depth. Most paver joint and bedding work only needs 1 to 2 inches, so double the depth roughly halves your coverage per yard. For mortar mixing, order based on batch volume rather than square footage since it is combined with cement and water on site.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Sand pairs with crushed stone as a compacted base layer under patios and walkways, and with polymeric jointing sand once pavers are set. If you are building near the water table in a low lying part of the city, a gravel base under the sand helps with long term drainage. Mortar jobs usually need cement and sometimes lime on hand as well.

Areas we deliver sand in Bridgeport, Connecticut
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
For paver bedding in Bridgeport's sandy loam, screed your sand layer to an even 1 inch before setting pavers, since going thicker just adds a soft spot that shifts under foot traffic. Some contractors here have switched to clean chip stone for bedding because it locks in place and will not pump up through joints the way sand can after a hard rain off the water.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake is ordering mason sand for paver joints when you actually need something coarser for drainage in low lying areas near the harbor. Mason sand is finer and more uniform, which is exactly why it works for mortar but can compact too tightly for joint sand that needs to shed water. Match the sand grade to the job, not just the name.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are running both a mortar job and a paver base on the same project, order sand and base stone together so the truck makes one trip instead of two. Bridgeport's tight older streets and narrow driveways in some neighborhoods make double deliveries more of a hassle than the material cost saved by splitting orders.
Working With Sand in Bridgeport
Bridgeport sits on sandy loam at low elevation near the water, which means most of the sand jobs we see are hardscape work, not lawn or garden fixes. People here are building paver patios, laying pool bases, and mixing mortar for retaining walls and steps around older Park City neighborhoods. The native soil already drains fast, so this sand rarely gets used to loosen compacted ground the way it might inland. It shows up as the working layer under and between pavers, and in the mortar mix for brick and block.
Masonry vs Fill Sand
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.
Bedding and Leveling
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.
Working With Moisture
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.
