How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical paver patio or mortar job usually needs somewhere between a half yard and two yards depending on footprint and whether you are going 1 or 2 inches deep. Measure your square footage first, then decide on depth based on whether this is a bedding layer or a mortar batch.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base stone or crushed gravel underneath it, and with the pavers or natural stone going on top. If you are working near the river where soil stays heavier and wetter longer into spring, a layer of clean chip stone under the sand can help with drainage before you set anything permanent.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Mason sand is finer than concrete sand for a reason, that fineness is what lets it pack into paver joints and mortar without leaving gaps. In Evansville's clay-heavy ground, do not skip a compacted base layer under it. Sand alone over alluvial clay will shift with freeze thaw cycles between the October and April frost dates, so a proper base course underneath keeps your bedding layer stable through the winter.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake on paver jobs here is troweling mason sand too thick, more than 2 inches and it stops compacting evenly, leading to soft spots that show up as dips within a season. Keep bedding layers to 1 to 2 inches, screed it level, then compact before setting pavers. For mortar work, mix only what you can use within the hour since Evansville's humid summer air speeds up set time.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project only needs joint sand for an existing paver patio, note that many installers have moved to clean chip stone for bedding because it will not pump or wash out the way sand can under heavy rain, which matters given how much rain this river valley gets in spring. Mason sand still makes sense for mortar mixing and pool base work, just match the material to the specific task rather than defaulting to sand for everything.
Working With Sand in Evansville
Evansville sits on alluvial clay that drains slowly, so sand plays a specific role here, it is not a soil amendment, it is a bedding and jointing material for hardscape work. With hardscape season running spring through fall and the ground softening after the April 10 last frost, most mason sand orders in River City go toward paver patios, retaining wall footings, and pool installs near the riverfront neighborhoods. Because the native clay holds water, a properly bedded sand base matters more here than in sandy soil regions, poor drainage under a patio shows up fast as heaving or settling.
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.
