How Much Sand Do I Need?
How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or joint sand jobs only need that thin a layer, so measure your paver joints or mixing needs before rounding up. For a typical patio joint fill job of a few hundred square feet, a single cubic yard often does the job, but larger mortar production runs will need more depth or repeat orders. Order by the cubic yard and we will help you match it to your square footage.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Sand pairs naturally with pavers, patio stone, and the base gravel underneath them, and a lot of our Idaho Falls customers order it alongside crushed base rock for a full patio build in one delivery. If you are doing mortar work on a stone wall or walkway, cement and a mixing tub round out the load. Some crews are shifting to chip stone for paver bedding instead of sand, since it will not pump under freeze and thaw, worth asking about if that is your use case.

Areas we deliver sand in Idaho Falls, Idaho
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you are mixing mortar for stonework, do not substitute this for concrete sand even though they look similar in the pile, the finer, more uniform grain here is what keeps mortar workable under a trowel. Concrete sand is coarser and will make your mix gritty and harder to spread evenly, which shows on finished joints, especially on visible stonework like a wall facing or entry walkway.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake here is ordering sand for paver joints and assuming it behaves like gravel base, it does not compact the same way. In our freeze thaw cycles, joint sand can settle or wash out over a winter or two if it was never swept in properly and compacted with a plate at install. Sweep it into joints dry, mist lightly, and repeat rather than trying to fill joints all at once.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project also needs paver base rock, order both in the same delivery rather than two separate trips, it saves on handling and gets your whole base system on site before you start digging. Some installers around town are moving away from sand bedding toward chip stone under pavers specifically because it resists pumping in wet silt loam conditions, worth discussing with your installer before you commit to a base material.
Working With Sand in Idaho Falls
Idaho Falls sits on silt loam soil, which drains reasonably well but is not what you are building on top of when you are setting pavers or mixing mortar, this sand is a construction material more than a soil amendment here. With winters that bring hard freezes after the October 5 frost date, any paver base work needs a sand joint fill that will not wash out or heave when the ground freezes and thaws through spring. Most calls we get for this material are for mortar batches on stonework near the Temple grounds or joint sand for patios going in before the growing season last frost around May 8.
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.
