How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only needs 1 to 2 inches. For paver joint filling on a typical patio, a half yard often goes further than people expect since you are only filling gaps, not covering the whole surface. Mortar mixing jobs should be sized against your block or brick count rather than square footage.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Mason sand pairs with paver base gravel underneath and paver joint sand or polymeric sand on top, depending on what your patio design calls for. If you are working near Rainbow Row style brick, you will likely want mortar mix on hand too. Some crews are switching paver bedding over to clean chip stone since it drains better and does not pump, worth asking your crew about before you order.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Charleston's water table sits close to the surface, and that matters more for sand than people think. If you are setting a pool base or mixing mortar on a humid August afternoon, the sand will already carry some ambient moisture, so cut back slightly on added water in your mix and test a small batch before committing to a full pour. Overwatering mason sand mortar in this climate is one of the more common mistakes we see on the peninsula.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A lot of crews still spec mason sand for paver joints out of habit, but it washes out and settles faster than polymeric sand or the clean chip stone some contractors now prefer. If your patio sits near a downspout or gets regular runoff, budget for a joint sand refresh every couple seasons rather than assuming a one time fill is permanent.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your job needs both mortar sand and paver base material, order them together rather than as separate deliveries. It saves a trip charge and lets you stage the materials in the order you will actually use them, base gravel first, then sand, then pavers. Most patio jobs in this city run gravel base, sand leveling layer, then joint fill, so sequencing the order that way on delivery saves handling time.
Working With Sand in Charleston
Charleston sits on sandy loam already, so this material is not fighting your native ground the way it might further inland. That said, most orders here are not for garden beds, they are for construction work, mortar batches, paver joints on patios, and pool bases. With the water table close to the surface at 20 feet elevation and a long humid building season, contractors like a sand that packs predictably and does not hold water like clay would. This mason sand does that.
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.
