One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the typical spread for bedding work. Most mortar mixing and small paver jobs only need a fraction of a yard, so measure your project area first and multiply by the depth you actually need, usually 1 to 2 inches for this material. If you are unsure, order slightly more, sand does not degrade sitting in a pile.

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

Sand pairs with crushed gravel as a base layer under pavers, and with polymeric sand or paver stone for the finish work on top. If you are pouring block or brick, order Portland cement separately and mix on site. A lot of Kennewick jobs also pair sand delivery with a load of paver base for driveway or patio work near the river.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Washed sand for mortar needs to stay dry and covered until mix day, especially with Kennewick's dusty spring winds that can blow debris into an open pile. Tarp it down at the edges, not just over the top, or you will be picking gravel and leaves out of your mix. A sheet of plywood underneath also keeps native silt loam from working its way in from below.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver jobs here is using this fine washed sand as bedding under the pavers themselves. It shifts and pumps under freeze thaw cycles, which Kennewick sees plenty of in a 7b winter. Chip stone bedding is more stable for that layer, save the washed sand for joints and mortar mixing where its fine, uniform grain is actually the advantage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both bedding stone and finish sand, order them together to save on separate delivery trips, since both can sit on the same tarp or pallet space. Buying the mortar sand and cement in the same trip to the yard also means one measurement session instead of two, which cuts down on math errors on mix day.

Working With Sand in Kennewick

Kennewick sits on silt loam, which is fine and holds moisture, so it does not behave anything like sand and cannot substitute for it in mortar or bedding work. That is exactly why masons here import washed sand for block work and stucco on new builds throughout the Tri-Cities. With low rainfall and a long dry season from spring through fall, sand stored on site stays workable and does not clump the way it might in a wetter climate. Zone 7b winters bring occasional hard freezes, so mortar work generally wraps up before late October.

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 sand used for paver patios in Kennewick?

Not exactly. This is washed mason sand, finer and more uniform, best for mortar mixing, paver joints, and pool bases. For the actual bedding layer under pavers, most installers now use clean chip stone since it resists pumping better under our freeze thaw cycles than sand does.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a small paver patio's joints?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint filling typically uses far less than that. Measure your patio's square footage, and know that joints only need a light 1 to 2 inch fill, so a fraction of a yard usually handles a standard residential patio.

Answer

What time of year should I schedule sand delivery for mortar work?

Hardscape and masonry season here runs spring through fall, roughly April through October, before the first frost typically hits late October. Working outside the freeze window keeps mortar curing properly. Kennewick's dry summers make it easy to store sand on site without it turning muddy or clumping.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed when it's delivered?

We place the load wherever you specify at checkout, driveway, curb, or a cleared area near your work site. Just make sure the drop zone is clear of parked cars, gates, or low tree branches so the delivery truck has room to unload cleanly.

Answer

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

For paver bedding, chip stone is generally the better choice now since it locks together and does not pump or shift the way sand can under freeze thaw stress. Save this washed sand for mortar mixing, paver joint filling, and pool base work where its fine, uniform texture is actually the point.
