About this sand

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

This sand runs about 1.35 tons per cubic yard, and one yard spread at a 1 inch depth covers roughly 324 square feet. Most mortar mixing jobs use relatively small volumes, while paver joint work and pool base prep can add up fast depending on the footprint, so measure your area first and decide whether you need a 1 or 2 inch layer before ordering.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most jobs pairing sand also need paver base gravel underneath and edging to hold the whole system in place. If you are doing hardscape work, chip stone is worth asking about too since a lot of KC contractors have shifted to it for bedding instead of straight sand because it does not pump out over time. Pool installers usually just need the sand on its own for the base layer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For pool bases in Kansas City clay soil, do not skip a compacted sub base before you screed the sand layer. The clay underneath expands and contracts with our freeze thaw cycles between the October and April frost dates, and a sand layer sitting straight on unsettled clay will telegraph that movement up into your liner within a season. Compact first, then screed the sand flat and even.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake with mason sand is treating it like paver bedding sand. It is finer and more uniform, which is great for mortar workability but means it can wash out or pump under paver joints over time, especially with KC's clay drainage issues sending water sideways under patios. If you are setting pavers rather than mixing mortar, ask about chip stone bedding instead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order mason sand and any paver base or chip stone together in one delivery when you can. It saves a second truck trip and a second cleared path for access, and most KC driveways only have room for one load parked comfortably at a time. Planning both materials before the truck shows up also keeps your labor schedule tighter during the busy spring and fall build season.

Working With Sand in Kansas City

Kansas City sits on heavy clay, which is exactly why sand matters here, it drains and sets differently than the native soil and gives masons and pool contractors a predictable working material instead of one that shifts with the weather. Hardscape crews around town lean on this fine grade for mortar because it mixes smooth and holds a bond, unlike coarser concrete sand. Pool builders use it as a base layer because it screeds flat and stays put under liners. With the clay base under most KC yards, a clean sand layer under pavers or a pool also helps break up drainage problems the native soil creates on its own.

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 mason sand the same as regular sand from a hardware store bag?

Not quite. This is washed and finely screened natural sand, more uniform than bagged all purpose sand, which is what makes it work well for mortar and pool bases. Bagged sand varies a lot by brand and often has more debris or inconsistent grain size, which matters when you need a smooth, workable mix.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a paver joint job?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint filling typically needs less than a full inch spread across the whole patio since it only fills the gaps. Measure your patio square footage, and for joint work alone you will likely need well under a full yard unless the patio is large.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule a sand delivery in Kansas City?

Hardscape and pool projects here run heaviest from spring through fall, before the October frost date shortens the outdoor work window. Booking earlier in that stretch gives you more flexibility if a project runs long, since clay soil conditions can slow prep work after heavy spring rain.

Answer

Where will the truck place the sand on delivery day?

The load is placed wherever you specify, typically a driveway or the clearest path to your work area. Kansas City driveways vary a lot in width and slope, so let us know ahead if access is tight, and clear the path before the truck arrives since a full cubic yard is heavy and will not be easy to move once dropped.

Answer

Should I use mason sand or chip stone for my paver base?

It depends on the job. Mason sand is the standard for mortar mixing and pool bases because it is fine and workable, but for paver bedding many KC contractors have moved to chip stone since it does not pump or wash out the way sand can under heavy clay soil drainage. If you are doing mortar work, stick with sand.
