One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most jobs here run 1 to 2 inches depending on whether it is bedding, joint fill, or a mortar mix component. For a paver patio, measure the square footage and figure your depth first, then divide the coverage number to land on a yardage figure before you order. Ordering by the cubic yard means partial yards still get delivered as a full load, so it pays to size the job close before checkout.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Most sand orders in Kokomo get paired with paver base stone or clean chip stone underneath, since chip stone has been replacing straight sand bedding for jobs that need to resist pumping. If you are mixing mortar, cement is the obvious companion. For pool installs, a layer of paver base beneath the sand cushion is common practice among local installers.
Service area
Mason sand is finer than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar and joint sweeping but is a poor choice for structural bedding under heavy pavers on Kokomo's silty clay loam subgrade. If your subgrade is soft, fine sand alone will shift over time. Many installers here are switching to angular chip stone under pavers for that reason and reserving this sand strictly for mortar mixing and final joint fill, which is where its fine, uniform grain actually earns its keep.
Time hardscape sand work for the stretch between mid April and mid October. Working mortar or setting joint sand right at frost boundaries in Kokomo risks the mix not curing properly before a freeze, and repointing brick near first frost in October is asking for trouble. A common mistake is ordering sand too early in spring while the ground is still saturated from thaw, which makes a stable base hard to compact.
Buying sand and companion base stone in the same delivery window can save a trip charge compared to ordering them separately, and many jobs need both anyway. If your project is mixed, mortar work plus joint fill, order slightly more than your calculated minimum since leftover sand keeps fine for future touch ups, unlike mixed mortar which does not.
Kokomo sits on silty clay loam that drains slowly, which is one reason builders here lean on sand for anything that needs a stable, well drained base, from paver patios to pool decks. With hardscape work concentrated in the spring through fall window between the last frost in mid April and the first frost in mid October, most sand orders here go toward mortar mixes and joint fill on masonry projects tied to that build season. Older neighborhoods near the Seiberling Mansion still have a fair number of brick and stone walkways that get reset or repointed with this same sand. It is not a soil amendment material, it stays on top as a functional layer in a hardscape assembly.
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.
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.
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.
