One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical patio or pool deck project needs less than you'd think. For mortar mixing or paver joint fill, order in smaller increments since a little goes a long way at 1 to 2 inches. Measure your square footage first, then work backward from the 324 square foot per yard figure at your planned depth.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Mason sand pairs naturally with pavers, natural stone, and brick for any project involving mortar or joint work. If you are building a paver patio, consider chip stone for the joints instead of sand, since it holds up better under Fulshear's seasonal rain without washing out. A base layer of crushed gravel underneath either option gives the whole assembly somewhere solid to sit.
Service area
Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but not for structural bedding. If you are setting pavers, know that many contractors in this area have moved away from sand joints entirely in favor of clean chip stone, which locks in place and resists the pumping and washout that sand joints can suffer during heavy rain events common along the Gulf Coast.
A common mistake is ordering mason sand for a paver base layer instead of joint fill. It is too fine to compact into a stable base and will shift under foot traffic or vehicle weight. Save it for mortar mixing and joint work only, and use a compactable base material like crushed gravel underneath any paver or stone installation for the structural layer that actually needs to hold weight.
Because Fulshear's clay loam holds water, stage your sand delivery close to your work area but on a tarp or plywood, not directly on bare soil, especially during the wetter months. This keeps the sand from picking up clay and staying workable for mortar mixing. Spring and fall are ideal windows here, with drier ground and mild temperatures that make mixing and setting easier before summer humidity sets in.
Fulshear sits on clay loam, which drains slowly and holds water after the spring rains that build up before hardscape season. That makes a stable, well drained bedding layer matter more here, not less, whether you are setting pavers on a patio or mixing mortar for a stone veneer wall near the historical marker downtown. Mason sand does not compact the way base gravel does, so it is used for the fine joint fill and mortar work, not as a structural base over Fulshear's native soil. A lot of builders here are shifting paver joints to chip stone instead, since it locks in place and will not wash out or pump up through the joints during a heavy Gulf Coast downpour.
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.
