About this sand

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

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

At a 1 inch install depth, one cubic yard of sand covers about 324 square feet, so a typical 200 to 300 square foot patio base or joint fill project usually runs under one full yard. For a 2 inch bedding layer under pavers, plan on roughly half that coverage per yard. Measure your project area first, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and polymeric jointing sand or chip stone on top, depending on what the project calls for. Many Jeffersonville jobs also pull in edge restraints and a compactable base stone for patios and walkways built over the area's clay soil. If you are mixing mortar on site, keep bagged cement separate but order the sand in bulk to save on trips.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but is less ideal as a modern paver bedding layer. If you are setting pavers or flagstone, many crews in the area are shifting to clean chip stone for bedding since it will not pump or wash out through joints the way sand can during heavy rain, which matters on Jeffersonville's clay heavy lots where drainage is already slow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Time delivery for a dry stretch if possible. Sand that sits wet in a pile takes longer to work with for mortar mixing and can compact unevenly if you try to spread it for bedding while damp. Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, so ordering a week or two ahead of your planned start date helps avoid scheduling crunches during the busiest months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project uses both mortar and paver joint fill, order the full amount you need in one delivery instead of splitting orders, since a single cubic yard drop is more efficient than two partial ones. Store any leftover sand covered with a tarp so it does not pick up moisture or debris before your next phase of work.

Working With Sand in Jeffersonville

Jeffersonville sits on silt clay soil that holds water and drains slowly, which is exactly why a proper sand bedding layer matters under patios, walkways, and pool decks here. Without it, pavers set directly on native clay tend to shift and heave through freeze thaw cycles between the October and April frost dates. Mason sand gives a stable, well drained base layer that clay alone cannot provide. Masons in the area also rely on it for mortar mixes where consistency in grain size affects workability on site.

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

Answer

Is this the same as mason sand or concrete sand?

This is mason sand, sometimes called masonry sand, which is finer and more uniform than concrete sand. That fine, consistent grain is what makes it workable for mortar mixes and tight paver joints, while concrete sand is coarser and used more for structural fill.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 250 square foot patio base?

At a standard 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so 250 square feet would use roughly 0.77 cubic yards. If you are going with a 2 inch bedding layer, plan on closer to 1.5 cubic yards to cover the same area.

Answer

When is the best time to install a sand base in Jeffersonville?

Spring through fall is when most hardscape work happens here, ahead of the first frost around October 12. Installing before the ground freezes gives the base time to settle properly, and working in a dry stretch keeps the sand easier to spread and compact evenly.

Answer

Where will the truck place the sand on delivery day?

The load is dumped at a driveway or curbside location you choose at checkout, and delivery is scheduled at that time rather than promised for a specific day in advance. Make sure there is clear access at least ten feet wide since these are bulk truck deliveries, not small pallet drops.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone under my pavers?

Sand has traditionally been used for paver bedding, but many installers now prefer chip stone since it will not pump up through the joints during heavy rain the way sand can. Sand still makes sense for mortar mixing and joint fill, so the right choice depends on which part of the job you are doing.
