Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a small paver patio or walkway usually needs less than a full yard, while a full base under a larger patio at 2 inches will use closer to double that per square foot. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, measure your project area first and decide whether you are laying joint sand thin or building a bedding layer, since that depth changes your order size fast.

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

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.
Most sand orders in Huntington get paired with paver stone or clean chip stone for the base layer underneath, since chip stone has been replacing traditional sand bedding for its better drainage and stability. If you are mixing mortar, you will also want portland cement on hand before delivery day. For pool base work, a layer of gravel underneath is common before the sand goes down.

For mortar mixing on Huntington's older brick homes, this sand's finer, more uniform grain is what makes the mix workable enough to tool joints cleanly, coarser sand fights you the whole time. If you are matching existing mortar on a repair job, bring a sample to compare grain size and color before ordering, since older lime based mortars often used a slightly different sand than what is standard today.
A common mistake is using this sand as paver bedding and being surprised when joints erode or pump water up through the joints after heavy rain, which Huntington gets plenty of in spring. Clean chip stone has largely replaced sand for bedding layers because it locks together and will not wash out the way sand can under repeated freeze thaw cycles through a zone 7a winter.
If your project needs both bedding material and mortar sand, order them separately rather than trying to make one product do both jobs, since using bedding grade material in mortar produces a weak, gritty mix. Buying just the volume you need by the cubic yard also avoids paying for extra bags and disposal of leftover plastic, and any unused clean sand stores fine under a tarp for the next job.
Huntington sits on silt loam soil, which drains slowly and holds moisture longer than sandy ground, so a lot of local hardscape work leans on this sand to build a stable, well drained base under pavers and walkways. With a growing season that stretches from mid April to late October, homeowners here have a solid window to get patio and paver jobs done before the ground firms up for winter. It is also the standard choice for mortar mixing on brick and block repair, common on Huntington's older housing stock.
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.
