About this sand

Washed and finely screened masonry sand for mortar, paver joints, and pool bases. Consistent grain, ready to screed.

One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most paver joint or bedding work only calls for 1 to 2 inches. For mortar mixing, the quantity depends on your mix ratio rather than coverage, so estimate by the batch. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly, since running short mid pour is the more expensive mistake.

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

Mason sand pairs naturally with pavers, brick, and natural stone, and many Greer jobs also call for a base layer of crusher run or clean gravel underneath before the sand goes down. If you are setting a pool base or building a patio, having both the base stone and the sand delivered together saves a second trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but is a poor choice under heavy pavers. If you are setting a patio, many Greer contractors are switching to clean chip stone for bedding instead, since chip stone locks together and will not pump up through joints the way sand can after a hard rain on our clay soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is ordering mason sand for paver base and skipping compaction. Even at a 1 to 2 inch bedding depth, screed it level and avoid walking on it before pavers go down, since foot traffic creates low spots that show up as uneven joints later. This matters more here than in sandy regions, since clay subgrade movement can telegraph through a poorly bedded joint layer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both a base layer and mortar sand, order them in the same delivery to avoid a second trip charge and keep your driveway clear for one delivery day instead of two. Mason sand stores fine under a tarp for weeks if your project spans a few weekends, which is common with hardscape work stretched across the spring build season.

Working With Sand in Greer

Greer sits on red clay, which is dense and drains poorly, so mason sand is almost never used as a soil amendment here, it is a construction material for hardscape work. With hardscape season running spring through fall and a last frost around March 25, most patio and paver jobs get scheduled once the clay has dried out enough to compact properly. People building near the Greer Station Historic District often need sand for mortar work on brick repairs, since that area has a lot of older masonry. The fine, uniform grain is what makes mortar workable when you are pointing brick or setting stone.

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 mason sand the same as regular sand from a hardware store?

Not quite. Mason sand is washed and finely screened to a consistent grain size, which is what makes it workable for mortar mixing and clean paver joints. Bagged sand from a store is often coarser or less consistent, which can affect how mortar sets or how joints pack down over time.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, but joint filling uses far less volume than a full bedding layer since it only fills the gaps between pavers. For most residential patios, a quarter to half a cubic yard is often enough, but measure your actual joint width and total patio area to be sure.

Answer

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

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, once the ground has warmed past the last frost around March 25. Working the clay when it is too wet leads to poor compaction, so aim for a dry stretch of weather when scheduling your delivery and installation.

Answer

Can the delivery truck access a narrow driveway or backyard?

Trucks place material at the closest accessible point on your property, typically a driveway or curb area. If your access is tight or you need the load moved to a backyard, let us know your site details at checkout so we can plan the drop appropriately.

Answer

Should I use mason sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For mortar mixing, mason sand is the right material due to its fine, uniform grain. For paver bedding, many contractors now prefer clean chip stone, since it locks together and resists pumping through joints after heavy rain, which is a real consideration given how our red clay handles water.
