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!

At a typical install depth of 1 to 2 inches, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at the 1 inch depth, so a 300 square foot patio bedding job runs close to a full yard, while joint filling on the same patio needs far less. Mortar mixing volumes depend on your mix ratio, but figure conservatively and order a bit extra since running short mid pour costs more time than a partial yard costs money. Pool base prep usually calls for the full 2 inch depth across the footprint, so double your square footage estimate accordingly.

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

Sand is rarely the only material on a hardscape job in this region. Many customers pair it with paver base or crushed stone for the sub grade, and increasingly with clean chip stone for the actual bedding layer since it resists the pumping issues sand can develop under pavers over time. If mortar work is part of the plan, cement and masonry supplies usually get sourced alongside it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are mixing mortar for block or brick work, do not substitute this for concrete sand even though they look similar in a pile. The finer, more uniform grain here is what keeps mortar workable under a trowel, especially in cooler spring temperatures around Green Bay when mortar sets slower and needs good plasticity to bond properly to clay based masonry units common in older Titletown area homes.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver projects is using this sand as the bedding layer under the pavers themselves. It compacts unevenly and can pump up through joints over time, especially with our freeze thaw cycles. Many local contractors now bed pavers on clean chip stone instead and reserve this washed sand strictly for filling the joints on top, which keeps the surface stable through winter heave.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated volume if your project includes both mortar mixing and joint filling, since splitting one delivery across two uses is more efficient than two separate smaller orders. Storing extra on a tarp keeps it clean and dry for a second weekend of work, which matters here since spring weather can turn a dry Saturday into a wet Sunday fast.

Working With Sand in Green Bay

Green Bay sits on heavy clay soil, and that clay does not drain well when it gets wet from spring melt or fall rain, which is exactly why sand plays a role in so many hardscape projects here rather than in planting beds. Mason contractors mixing mortar for block foundations or chimney repair need a fine, uniform grain that this clay based ground cannot supply on its own. With a first frost around October 5 and last frost near May 10, most sand work happens in that spring through fall window when patios, walkways, and pool installs get built before the ground freezes again. Paver joint work especially benefits from washed sand that will not clump the way native clay does.

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?

Yes, washed and finely screened natural sand is what most people mean when they say mason sand, and it is the term used in some regions for this exact product. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what makes it workable for mortar mixing and paver joint filling.

Answer

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

Joint filling uses far less material than bedding, often a quarter yard or less for a mid sized patio, since you are only filling narrow gaps between pavers rather than covering the whole surface. If you are also doing a 2 inch bedding layer or pool base, figure closer to one yard per 162 square feet at that depth.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule sand delivery in Green Bay?

Spring through fall is when most hardscape and mortar work happens here, roughly after the last frost around May 10 and before the ground starts hardening toward the October 5 first frost. Working within that window keeps the clay subgrade workable and avoids fighting frozen ground during prep.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load?

You choose the drop location at checkout, whether that is a driveway, curb, or staging area near your project site. Make sure the truck has clear access, since a loaded delivery truck needs solid, unobstructed ground and enough clearance to maneuver, especially on narrower residential streets.

Answer

Should I use this for bedding pavers or just for joints?

For joints, this washed sand works well and is the standard choice. For bedding under the pavers themselves, many contractors have shifted to clean chip stone instead, since it resists pumping and shifting better under freeze thaw conditions than sand does, which matters given our clay soil and winter cycles.
