One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most paver joint or bedding work only needs 1 to 2 inches. For mortar mixing, order based on block or brick count rather than area, since it gets blended with cement on site. Measure your project footprint first, then decide if you need a half yard or a full yard delivered.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.
I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel for a proper compacted foundation, and with portland cement if you are mixing mortar on site. Some Longview crews are shifting to clean chip stone for paver bedding since it will not pump the way sand can under freeze thaw cycles, worth asking about if that is your project.
Service area
Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why mortar mixes come out workable instead of gritty. If you are bedding pavers though, know that sand has a tendency to shift and pump moisture up through joints over time, especially with our clay-heavy subsoil pockets around Longview. Many local crews now use clean chip stone under pavers instead and save mason sand strictly for mortar and joint work.
East Texas humidity means bagged or piled mason sand can clump if it sits uncovered through a wet week. If your project spans several days, tarp the pile at night, especially during the spring and early summer when afternoon storms roll through Longview regularly. Dry sand mixes mortar more predictably and keeps your ratios consistent from batch to batch.
Ordering by the cubic yard for a mortar job is more about batch planning than area coverage, so talk through your brick or block count with your mason before placing the order. Overordering wastes yard space and underordering means a second delivery mid project. Pairing your sand order with base gravel in the same delivery window can also save a separate trip if your project needs both.
Longview already sits on sandy loam, so this is not a soil amendment project, it is a construction material. Most calls we get here are for mortar mixing on brick and block work, paver joint fill, and pool base leveling ahead of installs. With hardscape work running spring through fall before the Nov 14 frost, timing your sand delivery around a dry stretch matters more than the season itself. Humidity in East Texas summers can make sand clump, so keep it covered if it sits a few days before use.
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.
