At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a typical paver joint or bedding job needs less material than people assume. For mortar mixing, order is usually based on batch volume rather than square footage, so tell us the scope and we can help size it. Depth for this material generally runs 1 to 2 inches, so double your yardage estimate if you are going for the deeper end.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.
I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Most sand orders in Cleveland pair with paver base stone or clean chip stone underneath, since chip stone is increasingly replacing sand as a bedding layer because it does not pump under freeze thaw cycles. If you are doing mortar work, you will also want to line up your block or brick separately, since we do not stock those. A tarp or plywood sheet to protect a driveway from a dumped pile is worth having ready too.
Service area
If you are mixing mortar for a brick or block project this time of year, keep in mind Cleveland's cooler shoulder season temperatures slow curing. Finer, more uniform sand like this one gives you a more workable mix at lower temperatures than coarser concrete sand would. Mix in smaller batches during cool weather so you are not fighting a mix that starts to stiffen before you can use it.
A common mistake on clay soil sites is skipping compaction under a sand bedding layer. Clay does not drain, so uncompacted sand over clay will shift and settle unevenly within a season, especially with Cleveland's freeze thaw cycles. Compact in thin lifts and check for standing water after a rain before you place any pavers or block on top.
If your project is paver bedding rather than mortar mixing, consider clean chip stone instead. It is increasingly the standard replacement for sand bedding because it will not pump up through paver joints the way sand can after repeated freeze and thaw. Save this sand for mortar and joint work where its fine, uniform texture actually matters.
Cleveland sits on heavy clay, and that changes how sand behaves on a job site. Clay does not drain well, so sand used as a base layer needs to be compacted properly or it will just sit on top of a wet clay shelf and shift. With hardscape season running spring through fall here, most orders come in for mortar work on brick and block, or for paver joint fill on patios going in before the ground freezes around the first frost in October. If you are mixing mortar, this finely screened sand is what keeps the mix workable in cooler shoulder season temperatures.
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.
