About this sand

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

The website to order is super easy to use. Pick a mulch, date/time/driveway location of the delivery and that’s it. A few days later there was a nice mound of mulch in my driveway. Great service - just as promised.

One cubic yard of this mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only needs a 1 to 2 inch layer. For a typical patio or walkway job in Evans, figure your square footage, decide on depth within that range, and order in full cubic yards since we deliver bulk rather than partial loads. Pool base projects usually run on the deeper end of that range for better leveling.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most mason sand orders in Evans go out alongside paver base or chip stone for the structural layer underneath, with the sand reserved for joints or mortar mixing on top. If you are building a paver patio near a pool, pair this with paver base material for the sub layer and consider chip stone if you want a joint fill that will not wash out or pump over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Evans already sits on sandy native soil, it is tempting to think any sand on site will work for mortar or joint filling. It will not. Native soil sand has inconsistent grain size and organic material mixed in, which weakens mortar and clogs paver joints. Washed mason sand is screened to a uniform fine grain specifically so it packs and bonds predictably. Always keep the two separate on site so a crew does not grab the wrong pile by mistake.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver jobs around Evans is using sand as the final joint fill and expecting it to stay put. Rain and irrigation wash sand out of joints over a season or two, especially with the heavier spring and summer storms common here. If long term joint stability matters more than upfront cost, ask about chip stone for the joints instead and keep the mason sand for mortar mixing where it belongs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order mason sand and paver base or chip stone together when you can, since combining deliveries into one cubic yard order saves a trip and gets both materials on site before your crew starts. Overestimating slightly is cheaper than a second delivery mid project, and leftover mason sand keeps well under a tarp for the next small mortar or bedding job around the property.

Working With Sand in Evans

Evans sits on sandy native soil, so a lot of homeowners assume any sand will do, but mason sand is a different animal from what is already in your yard. It is washed and screened fine, which is exactly what makes mortar workable when you are setting stone or brick around a patio or fire pit near Evans Town Center Park. With hardscape season running spring through fall here and the ground rarely freezing hard before the November frost, there is a long window to get paver and masonry projects done right. Just know that chip stone is increasingly replacing sand as paver bedding since it does not pump out from under the pavers over time.

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.

Answer

Is this the same as the mason sand my mason keeps mentioning?

Yes, mason sand and this washed screened sand are the same material. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what makes mortar workable when your mason is setting brick or stone. It is not the same as the native sandy soil common around Evans, which has too much variation in grain size for mortar work.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint filling typically only needs a thin layer, so a cubic yard goes a long way for joints alone. For a full pool base or a mortar mixing project, figure your depth at 1 to 2 inches over the actual work area and order accordingly.

Answer

When is the best time to do paver or masonry work in Evans?

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, and with last frost around March 22 and first frost not until November 2, there is a wide window to work. Mortar cures best in mild, dry weather, so aim for days that are not near freezing or soaked with rain.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day?

We place the load wherever on your property you specify at checkout, typically a driveway or a cleared spot near the work area. Delivery is scheduled at checkout rather than a fixed same day window, so plan your site access and any protective tarps ahead of that date.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone for my paver joints?

Mason sand is the traditional choice and still works well, but chip stone is increasingly used instead because it locks in place and does not wash or pump out over time the way sand can. If you want joints that need less maintenance long term, chip stone is worth asking about, while sand remains the right call for mortar mixing regardless.
