About this sand

One cubic yard of sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, or roughly half that at 2 inches, which is the typical range for bedding and joint work. For a standard 200 square foot patio project, plan on around half a yard to a yard depending on whether you are setting a full bedding layer or just filling joints. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, round up slightly rather than running short 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.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

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 pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and clean chip stone if you are doing joint fill on a modern install, since chip stone resists the pumping issue that plain sand can develop in joints over time. For mortar work, it pairs with cement and lime for the mix itself. If you are building a retaining wall near Konkel Park style landscaping, crushed stone for drainage behind the wall is worth ordering at the same time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For mortar work, this finer washed sand is what actually makes the mix workable under a trowel, unlike coarser concrete sand which fights you. If you are mixing on site in Greenfield during summer, keep the sand pile covered between mixing sessions, afternoon humidity can add moisture you did not account for and throw off your water ratio, especially on a hot July pour.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A lot of paver crews are moving away from sand joint fill toward clean chip stone because sand pumps out from between pavers under freeze thaw cycling, and Greenfield gets a real one every winter. If you are set on sand for joints anyway, plan to top off joints again after the first winter, it is normal and not a sign of a bad install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated amount, sand settles and compacts differently than it measures loose in the yard, and running short mid pour on a mortar job means a delay you cannot always schedule around quickly. It is easier to have leftover sand for touch ups than to stop a paver install halfway through a joint fill.

Working With Sand in Greenfield

Greenfield sits on silt loam, which drains slower than sandy soil and holds water after spring thaw and fall rain. That matters for hardscape work because a soggy base defeats the purpose of sand bedding under pavers. Most jobs here are patios, walkways, and mortar work for retaining walls, and the sand needs a dry, compacted base before it goes down, especially with the freeze thaw cycle between the Apr 30 last frost and Oct 11 first frost. Pool base installs and paver joint fill are common through the summer building window.

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 this the same as mason sand?

Yes, what we deliver as sand is washed and finely screened, which is what people in some regions call mason sand. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is why it works better for mortar mixing and paver joints where consistency matters more than bulk.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot patio?

At a 1 inch bedding depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a 300 square foot patio needs close to a full yard. If you are going to 2 inches for a heavier base, plan on nearly two yards instead.

Answer

When is the best time to install this in Greenfield?

Spring through fall is the real hardscape window here, after the last frost around Apr 30 and before the ground starts hardening near the Oct 11 first frost. Working in that window means the base compacts properly instead of fighting frozen or half thawed silt loam soil underneath.

Answer

Where will the delivery be placed and do I need to be home?

You tell us where to drop it, usually a driveway or curbside spot, when you schedule at checkout. You do not need to be home, but the area should be clear and reasonably accessible for the truck ahead of the scheduled delivery.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone for paver joints?

Sand is the traditional choice and still common for mortar and pool base work, but many installers are switching to clean chip stone for paver joints specifically because it does not pump out under freeze thaw the way sand can. If you want a lower maintenance joint fill long term, chip stone is worth considering.
