The website to order is super easy to use. Pick a mulch, date/time/driveway location of the delivery and that’s it. A few days later there was a nice mound of mulch in my driveway. Great service - just as promised.

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet, and at 2 inches that drops to about 162 square feet, so depth changes your order fast. Most paver joint work and mortar mixing only needs a thin layer, while pool base prep often runs closer to the 2 inch mark. Measure your square footage first, then decide on depth based on the job, not the other way around.

Mason sand pairs naturally with pavers, edging stone, and the chip stone that's increasingly used as bedding instead of sand for pumping resistance. If you're mixing mortar on site, you'll likely also want cement and a mixing surface ready before delivery. Many Houston crews order both mason sand and paver base material together for one drop instead of two trips.
Service area
Houston's clay base soil means water sits rather than drains, so any sand bed you lay over it should be crowned slightly for drainage, not flat. On pool decks and paver patios, a flat sand layer over clay traps runoff and can cause settling within a season. Give your bed a slight slope away from structures before you set your pavers or shell, even a quarter inch per foot makes a real difference here.
A common mistake on Houston jobs is using mason sand as paver bedding instead of joint fill. It's fine and uniform, great for mortar, but as a bedding layer it can pump and wash out under heavy rain, which we get plenty of. Many crews here have shifted to clean chip stone for bedding and kept mason sand strictly for joint fill and mortar mixing, which holds up better long term.
If you're doing both mortar work and paver joints on the same job, order mason sand as one combined cubic yard total rather than splitting into two smaller deliveries. It keeps things simple and you can always store the extra covered and dry for touch ups later in the season, since sand doesn't degrade sitting in a driveway under a tarp.
Houston's clay soil holds water and drains slowly, which is exactly why mason sand matters here. On paver jobs and pool decks, a sand layer over that clay gives you a workable, level bed instead of fighting swelling ground after every downpour. Masons across the city rely on it for mortar because it is fine enough to keep the mix smooth and consistent, even when the humidity makes everything else feel sticky. Hardscape crews building through our long spring to fall season lean on it constantly for joint fill and base leveling.
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.
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.
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.
