About this sand

Washed and finely screened masonry sand for mortar, paver joints, and pool bases. Consistent grain, ready to screed.

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a small paver patio or a walkway joint fill job often needs less than half a yard. For paver bedding at closer to 2 inches, figure half that coverage per yard, so plan your order around the actual square footage and depth of your project rather than rounding up blind.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mason sand pairs with crushed stone or road base for the compacted layers under a paver patio, and with portland cement for mortar mixing on block or brick work. If you are doing a pool base, a layer of chip stone underneath can help with drainage before the sand goes down.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but is a poor choice for paver bedding today. Many crews around Eau Claire have shifted paver bedding to clean chip stone because it locks in place and will not pump up through joints during a freeze thaw cycle, which matters here given our zone 4b winters and repeated frost heave.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not stockpile mason sand uncovered through a Wisconsin winter if you are not using it right away. Repeated freeze and thaw cycles between the September and May frost dates can cause it to cake and clump, especially if moisture gets in. Cover the pile or plan your delivery closer to your actual pour date instead of ordering months ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project only needs sand for mortar mixing and not for bedding or joint fill, order conservatively. Mortar sand goes a long way per batch, and it is easier to order a small top off delivery later in the build season than to store a half used pile of fine sand through a Wisconsin winter.

Working With Sand in Eau Claire

Eau Claire sits on sandy loam already, so this is not a soil amendment material here, it is a construction material for hardscape work. With clay-free native soil and a build season that runs from the May 10 thaw through the September 28 first frost, most orders land in spring and summer when patios, walkways, and pool decks near Carson Park and around town get built or rebuilt. People here are mixing mortar for block and brick work or setting paver joints, not spreading sand across lawns.

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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is this the same as mason sand?

Yes, mason sand is another name for the same washed, finely screened sand used in mortar mixes, paver joints, and pool bases. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what makes mortar workable and gives it a smooth consistency for joint fill work.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a paver patio?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch deep, so a 200 square foot patio at that depth needs roughly two thirds of a yard. If you are using it for joint fill only rather than full bedding, you will need much less, often just a fraction of a yard depending on joint width.

Answer

When should I schedule a sand delivery in Eau Claire?

Most hardscape work happens between the last frost around May 10 and the first frost around September 28, so spring and summer are the busiest install windows. Sand itself has no seasonal install restriction, but working with mortar or setting pavers is much easier once the ground is workable and frost free.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the sand?

We place the load as close to your work area as your driveway or site access allows, and you will confirm delivery details at checkout. Make sure there is a clear path wide enough for a truck and consider laying down plywood or a tarp if you want to protect pavement underneath the pile.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone under my pavers?

Many crews have moved away from sand for paver bedding and toward clean chip stone, since chip stone locks together and resists pumping up through joints during freeze thaw cycles. Sand still makes sense for mortar mixing and for filling paver joints after the base is set, just not as the structural bedding layer itself.
