One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only calls for that 1 to 2 inch range, not a full bed. For paver joint filling or small mortar batches, a single cubic yard often outlasts the job, so measure your actual square footage before you order a second yard.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!
Mason sand is often ordered alongside crushed rock base or chip stone for paver projects, since the base carries the load and the sand fills the joints or beds the mortar. If you are pouring block walls or setting flagstone, having both on site at once saves a second delivery mid project.
Service area
In Buckeye's heat, mortar mixed with mason sand can start to set faster than you expect once the sun is on your mix board, especially outside the cooler winter months. Mix smaller batches during summer work, keep the pile shaded if you can, and have your mason sand pre-wetted slightly before mixing so it does not pull moisture out of the mortar too fast.
A common mistake is using mason sand as the main bedding layer under pavers instead of just for joints. It shifts more than clean chip stone under Arizona's freeze thaw swings near the surface, even in a mild zone 9b winter. Use it for joint filling and mortar, and let a proper base material carry the paver bedding load instead.
If you are doing both a paver patio and a block wall on the same property, order your mason sand and your base rock together and have them delivered on the same day. It saves a second delivery fee and lets your crew move straight from base work into mortar mixing without waiting on materials.
Buckeye sits on sandy loam already, but that native soil is too coarse and inconsistent for mortar work or paver joints, so masons here bring in washed mason sand to get a workable, predictable mix. With growth this fast across the city, a lot of the demand is new construction, block walls, paver patios, and pool surrounds that need a finer, uniform sand than what is under your feet. The dry climate here also means sand stays workable longer before it sets up, which is an advantage when you are mixing mortar in the heat.
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.
