I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches. For a typical patio or walkway job, figure your square footage, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yards rather than guessing low and running short mid pour.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Crews mixing mortar often order this alongside cement and a bagged lime for workability, and paver jobs frequently need base gravel underneath before the sand layer goes down. If you are doing joint work on an existing patio, a stiff broom and a plate compactor make the sand settle in properly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

At 6062 feet, sand dries out faster than it would at sea level, especially on windy Cheyenne days. If you are mixing mortar, keep the pile covered or damp until you use it, and mix smaller batches more often rather than one big batch that skins over before you can work it. Dry sand also blows off site if left uncovered, so tarp anything you are not using that day.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver jobs here is using this sand for bedding under the pavers instead of just the joints. Clean chip stone handles Cheyenne's freeze thaw swings better as a bedding layer because it will not pump moisture up through the joints the way finer sand can. Save this material for mortar mixing and joint fill, and use a coarser base material underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are doing both mortar work and joint fill on the same job, order everything as one cubic yard total rather than splitting into two smaller deliveries. It is more efficient to have one pile on site and pull from it as needed than to manage two separate loads, and it reduces the chance you underestimate one part of the job and run short.

Working With Sand in Cheyenne

Cheyenne sits on clay loam that holds water and heaves when it freezes, which is exactly why sand plays a role in drainage layers under patios and walkways here. With a first frost around October 5 and last frost near May 15, the building window is tight, so most hardscape crews want material on site and ready rather than waiting on a supply run mid project. Wind is also a factor at this elevation, dry sand can blow around a site if it sits uncovered too long. People building near the Cheyenne Depot area often deal with older paver work that needs joint sand refreshed after a hard winter.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

What is this sand actually used for on a typical Cheyenne project?

It is mainly used for mixing mortar, filling paver joints, and building pool bases. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what makes it workable for mortar. Most Cheyenne buyers ordering this are doing patio joint work or a masonry project rather than large scale grading.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a paver patio joint job?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint fill typically only needs a thin top layer, not full depth coverage. Measure your patio square footage and figure a fraction of a yard for joints alone unless you are also mixing mortar, which uses more.

Answer

When is the best time of year to do sand and paver work in Cheyenne?

Spring through fall is the real window here, roughly after the last frost around May 15 and before the first frost around October 5. Cold and freezing ground make mortar curing and joint compaction unreliable, so most crews avoid starting new hardscape work in winter months.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed when it is delivered?

The load is dumped at a flat, accessible spot you choose near your work area, typically a driveway or street adjacent pad. Let us know if access is tight or if there are slopes, and have the spot cleared and ready before the delivery truck arrives.

Answer

Should I use this sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For paver bedding, many crews now prefer clean chip stone over sand because it does not pump moisture up through the joints during freeze thaw cycles, which matters in Cheyenne's climate. This washed sand is still the right choice for mortar mixing and topping off paver joints after the base is set.
