Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, or roughly 162 square feet at 2 inches, which is the typical install range for this material. For paver joints or mortar mixing you will use far less per square foot than for a base layer, so measure your actual project footprint and depth before ordering. Most residential jobs, like a pool base or a paver patio's joint sand, run somewhere between half a yard and two yards.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base stone underneath and paver sand or polymeric sand on top for joint work. If you are pouring a pool deck or laying block, you will likely also want portland cement on hand for mixing mortar. Some crews are shifting to clean chip stone for paver bedding since it resists pumping, worth asking about if that is your project.
Service area
Mason sand for pool bases should be screeded, not just dumped and leveled by eye. Use a straight board or pipe screed to pull it flat across the pool floor before the liner goes down, checking for low spots with a level. In Deerfield Beach's humid climate, damp sand compacts differently than dry sand, so screed it slightly damp for a more predictable, stable surface under the liner.
A common mistake is using mason sand for paver joints on a driveway that gets regular rain, which we get plenty of here. Fine mason sand can wash out of joints over time in heavy downpours unless it is topped with polymeric sand that binds when wet. If you are not using a polymeric product, expect to refill joints seasonally, especially after summer storm season.
If your project spans both mortar mixing and pool base work, order mason sand for both rather than switching to concrete sand for one task. Concrete sand is coarser and will not give you the smooth, workable mortar you want for coastal block construction, and buying one consistent material in bulk is simpler than juggling two deliveries for one job.
Deerfield Beach sits on sandy native soil already, but that native sand is not washed or screened the way mason sand is, so it will not behave the same in mortar or joint work. At 12 feet of elevation and with a zone 10b climate that means humidity and rain most of the year, contractors here need sand that drains and compacts predictably rather than native beach sand that holds moisture unevenly. Pool base work is common given how many backyard pools this city has, and mason sand gives a stable, level bed under liners and decking. It is also the standard choice for mortar mixing on block and paver walls that have to hold up to salt air near the coast.
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.
