Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar and paver joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches. For pool base applications you will want to measure the full footprint and settle on a consistent depth before ordering, since underestimating means a second delivery mid project.

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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

This sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and edge restraints to lock the joints in place once they are swept and settled. If you are mixing mortar on site, order alongside your masonry sand needs a bag of cement rather than guessing quantities separately. Some crews around Graham are shifting paver bedding work to clean chip stone instead of sand, since it does not pump under freeze thaw, worth asking about if that is your project.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For paver joints in this area, sweep the sand in dry and compact with a plate compactor in two passes rather than one heavy pass, this settles it deeper into the joint without bridging at the surface. With our freeze thaw cycles running November through April, joints packed too shallow tend to wash out or heave by the second winter, so err toward the full 2 inch depth on exterior work.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on mortar jobs here is mixing sand that is still damp from delivery without adjusting your water ratio, which throws off workability fast. Let a scoop dry test on a shovel before you start a batch, especially in spring when material sits outside overnight and picks up moisture from typical Pacific Northwest dew.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project spans both a mortar phase and a paver bedding phase, order the full estimated volume in one delivery rather than splitting it, since a second delivery fee eats into any savings from buying smaller. Many Graham contractors are also swapping bedding sand for chip stone on paver bases now, since it resists pumping in wet gravelly soils, worth pricing both before you commit to quantity.

Working With Sand in Graham

Graham sits on gravelly sandy loam, so drainage is rarely the problem here, but that native soil is not what you want under a patio or set into paver joints. Homeowners near the old Chambers Creek Mill site and throughout the Cascade Foothills area use this sand for the finer, controlled work like mortar mixing and setting stone, not for grading or fill. With frost hitting by early November and lingering into mid April, hardscape crews here work a tighter spring through fall window, so material needs to be ready when the weather cooperates.

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 or is it different for my project?

Yes, this is the same fine, washed sand sometimes called mason sand in other regions. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly what makes it workable for mortar mixing and tight paver joints rather than structural fill or base work.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth. Joint fill typically only needs a thin top dressing swept into the gaps, so a single yard often handles a patio well over a thousand square feet, depending on joint width and how much settles below the surface.

Answer

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

Spring through fall is the practical window, roughly mid April after last frost through early November before the ground freezes again. Working outside that window risks poor mortar cure and joint sand that will not settle properly if the base underneath is still frozen or waterlogged.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day and do I need equipment ready?

The driver places the load wherever you direct on your property, so pick a firm, accessible spot near your work area beforehand. Sand is heavy and does not move itself, so have a wheelbarrow or plan for hand tools ready if the drop spot is not right next to the job.

Answer

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

Traditional sand bedding is being replaced by clean chip stone in many local paver projects because chip stone does not pump or shift under freeze thaw cycles the way sand can. If your project is joint fill or mortar work, sand is still the right call, but for base bedding, ask us about chip stone options.
