We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only needs 1 to 2 inches. For a small patio project or a batch of mortar mixing you may only need a fraction of a yard, so measure your actual square footage before ordering rather than guessing high.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Pair mason sand with paver base or crushed stone for the compacted foundation layer beneath it, and consider chip stone instead of sand for the joint fill if you want something that will not erode over time. For pool installs, a layer of paver base under the sand keeps the bed from shifting once the water goes in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is not interchangeable with concrete sand even though they look similar in the pile. Mason sand is finer and more uniformly graded, which is exactly what makes mortar workable under a trowel. If you are repointing brick on an older building near Courthouse Square, using concrete sand instead will give you a gritty, harder to spread mix that does not bond the same way into old joints.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is using mason sand as paver bedding and expecting it to stay put. It is fine grained enough that it can migrate or pump up through joints over freeze thaw cycles, which Farmington gets plenty of between October and April. Many crews here have switched to angular chip stone for bedding and joint fill specifically because it locks together instead of washing out.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are running both a mortar job and a paver project, order mason sand and chip stone together in one delivery instead of scheduling two trips. Since sand is sold by the cubic yard, slightly overestimating on a small job costs little, but running short mid pour on a mortar batch means a second delivery and a stalled crew, so round up on tight estimates.

Working With Sand in Farmington

Farmington sits on silt loam, which is fine and holds moisture, so it is a poor substitute for real mason sand in any mix that needs to drain or set properly. Homeowners near Courthouse Square doing tuckpointing or repointing old masonry need sand that will not shrink or crack the mortar, and this is that sand. Hardscape crews working patios and walkways around town also use it for paver joints, though many are shifting to chip stone bedding since it will not wash out or pump up through the joints. With our freeze thaw cycle running October into April, anything set in sand needs a stable base before that first frost hits.

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

Answer

Is mason sand the same as the sand at the hardware store in bags?

It is generally the same washed and screened product, just delivered in bulk instead of 50 pound bags. Buying by the cubic yard makes sense once your project needs more than a handful of bags, since it saves multiple trips and is usually more practical for mortar mixing, paver joints, or pool base work of any real size.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a small patio's paver joints?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, but paver joints only need a thin fill, so a typical patio uses well under a full yard. Measure your patio square footage and figure a fraction of that coverage rate since joint fill is much shallower than a full bedding layer.

Answer

When is the best time to do mortar or paver work in Farmington?

Spring through fall is the practical window here since Farmington's first frost lands around October 15 and last frost around April 5. Mortar and joint sand both need dry, above freezing conditions to cure and settle properly, so most local crews avoid starting hardscape work in that cold stretch.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on my property?

The truck places the load wherever you designate near your driveway or work area, so clear a flat accessible spot ahead of time. Delivery is scheduled at checkout, and having a clear path for a full size truck helps the driver place it exactly where you need it.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone under my pavers?

Mason sand has traditionally been used for paver bedding and joints, but many installers now prefer chip stone since it locks in place and does not pump or wash out over freeze thaw cycles. Sand still works well for mortar mixing and pool bases where a fine, uniform material matters more than long term joint stability.
