I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only needs 1 to 2 inches. For a typical Jericho patio or walkway job, figure your square footage, divide by 324, and round up rather than down since sand compacts as it settles into joints.

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.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Sand pairs with paver base gravel underneath and paver joint sweeps on top, and many hardscape jobs in Jericho are moving toward clean chip stone for the actual bedding layer since it does not pump or wash out under pavers the way sand can. If you are mixing mortar, order this alongside your masonry cement rather than substituting concrete sand, which runs too coarse for a workable mix.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For mortar mixing, this washed sand needs to stay dry until you are ready to use it, since damp sand throws off your water to cement ratio and weakens the mix. Store it on a tarp, not directly on soil, especially given Jericho's sandy loam base which drains fast but still holds moisture after rain. Cover the pile if you are not mixing within a day or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver jobs is using this fine sand as the bedding layer under the pavers themselves. It looks fine at install but tends to migrate and pump out over a season or two of freeze thaw cycles, which Jericho gets plenty of before the Apr 15 last frost. Save this material for joint filling and mortar, and use angular chip stone for the bedding course instead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are running both a paver job and a mortar job on the same property, it is worth ordering the sand in one combined delivery rather than two smaller ones, since you will use less total material than you expect once you account for actual joint depth versus full coverage. Keep the leftover covered and dry for touch up work later in the season.

Working With Sand in Jericho

Jericho sits on sandy loam already, so drainage on most lots is decent, but that native soil is too coarse and inconsistent for mortar work or fine paver joints. This washed sand is screened to a uniform grain size, which is what actually makes mortar workable and lets paver joints lock without gaps. With hardscape season running spring through fall here before the Nov 17 frost line shuts things down, most masons and patio builders are ordering this material for walkway and patio work rather than for general grading.

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 this the same as mason sand?

Yes, this washed and finely screened sand is what most people mean when they say mason sand. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly what makes it workable for mortar mixing and tight paver joints rather than general fill or grading work.

Answer

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

Joint filling uses far less material than people expect since you are only filling the gaps, not covering the whole surface. One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch, but joint depth is usually shallow, so a typical patio only needs a fraction of a yard. Measure your joint width and depth to size it accurately.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule sand delivery in Jericho?

Most hardscape work here happens spring through fall, before the Nov 17 first frost makes ground work harder and mortar cure times unreliable. Scheduling delivery a few days ahead of your project start gives you a buffer to keep the pile covered and dry until you are ready to mix or spread it.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the sand?

You choose the drop location at checkout, typically a driveway or curb spot with clear truck access. Let us know if your access is tight, since Jericho's older residential streets and driveways sometimes limit where a full size delivery truck can maneuver.

Answer

Should I use this sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For paver bedding, many builders are shifting to clean chip stone since it locks in place and does not pump or wash out over time the way sand can. This washed sand is still the right choice for the joints between pavers and for mortar mixing, just not as the base layer underneath.
