One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar and joint work only needs 1 to 2 inches. For a paver patio or pool base, figure your square footage and depth first, then order in whole cubic yards since partial yards are hard to schedule efficiently.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most jobs that call for mason sand also need a base layer of crushed stone or gravel underneath for drainage and structure. If you are setting pavers, some Danville crews are shifting to clean chip stone for the joints instead of sand since it will not pump out over time. Either way, having both materials delivered together saves a second trip.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Mason sand pulled from a stockpile can carry more moisture than it looks like, especially after a wet stretch in Danville's silt loam region where drainage is slower. Wet sand throws off your mortar mix ratios and makes joint sand harder to sweep in evenly. Let a fresh delivery sit uncovered for a day if you can, or adjust your water content on the first batch of mortar until you get a feel for how it's behaving that day.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake on paver joints is sweeping sand in dry and calling it done without a second pass. Sand settles into the joints after the first rain or the first time the patio gets walked on, leaving visible gaps. Plan on a follow up sweep and compaction pass about a week after the initial install, especially before winter freeze thaw cycles set in around here.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project is purely paver joints rather than mortar work, ask whether chip stone makes more sense before you commit to sand. It resists washout and pumping better over a Kentucky winter, while mason sand still earns its keep for mortar mixes and pool bases where a fine, workable texture actually matters. Matching the material to the specific task saves a redo later.
Working With Sand in Danville
Danville sits on silt loam, which drains slower than sandy soil and holds moisture longer near foundations and patios. That makes a clean, well drained bedding layer matter more here, whether you are setting pavers near Constitution Square or mixing mortar for a stone wall. Zone 7a means freeze thaw cycles happen most winters, so joints and bases need material that will not hold water and heave. Mason sand's fine, uniform grain gives you that predictable, tight pack.
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.
