Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One cubic yard of mason sand covers roughly 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the typical range for paver joints and bedding work, usually run between 1 and 2 inches. For a mid size patio or walkway project, most homeowners order somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on square footage and whether they are doubling the depth for a sub base. Measure your project area first and work backward from the depth you actually need.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and clean chip stone if you want a joint fill that will not pump out under traffic. If you are mixing mortar for a brick project, you will also want portland cement and lime on hand before the load arrives. Most hardscape jobs need both a structural base layer and this finer sand on top, not one or the other.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is being phased out as paver bedding in a lot of markets in favor of clean chip stone, because chip stone locks together and will not pump up through the joints under vehicle weight or heavy rain. If your project is a driveway or anything that sees regular traffic, ask about chip stone for the base and joints. Save the mason sand for mortar mixing or lighter foot traffic patios where pumping is not a real concern.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Do not screed and set pavers on mason sand right before a heavy rain. High Point gets enough spring and fall rain that an uncompacted sand bed can wash out or shift before the pavers lock in, leaving low spots. Give the base a day of dry weather to settle and compact before setting stone, especially if you are working through the wetter shoulder seasons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both a structural base and a finer top layer, order the crushed stone base and the mason sand together in one delivery instead of two separate trips. It saves a delivery charge and it means the whole job can move forward in one weekend rather than waiting on a second load mid project.

Working With Sand in High Point

High Point sits on red clay that holds water and shifts with the freeze thaw cycle between our Nov 3 and Apr 19 frost dates. That movement is hard on patios and walkways unless the base underneath drains well, and mason sand in the joints and bedding layer gives water somewhere to go instead of pooling under pavers. A lot of the furniture warehouses and showroom districts around town have loading docks and walkways that were set on sand beds decades ago and still need topping off. It is also the standard choice for anyone mixing mortar on site for brick or block work, which is common in a city with this much masonry history.

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 screened to a finer, more uniform grain than typical bagged sand, which is what makes it workable for mortar and tight paver joints. Bagged sand can vary in grain size and cleanliness, while a bulk load is consistent from top to bottom, which matters when you are mixing mortar to a specific ratio.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the standard bedding thickness for most patios. A typical 200 square foot patio at that depth needs a little under a yard, but order slightly more to account for compaction and joint fill on top of the bedding layer.

Answer

When is the best time to install a sand bed for pavers in High Point?

Spring through fall is prime hardscape season here, once the ground has thawed after our last frost around Apr 19 and before it firms back up near Nov 3. Avoid setting a sand bed right before heavy rain, since an uncompacted layer can shift or wash out before the pavers are locked in.

Answer

Where will the sand be dropped and do I need to be home?

The driver places the load wherever you specify at checkout, typically a driveway or curb near the work area. You do not need to be home, but the drop spot should be clear and accessible, since the truck cannot maneuver around parked cars or tight gates.

Answer

Should I use mason sand or chip stone for my paver joints?

For patios and walkways with light foot traffic, mason sand still works fine and is the traditional choice. For driveways or anywhere with vehicle weight and regular water exposure, chip stone is increasingly preferred because it locks in place and will not pump out over time the way sand can.
