At a 1 to 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at the thinner end, so a typical 200 to 300 square foot paver patio or pool deck usually needs somewhere between three quarters of a yard and a full yard. Mortar mixing and paver joint work use much less volume per square foot than a bedding layer, so measure your actual joint width or mix ratio before ordering. Round up slightly since compaction and spillage eat into your working volume.

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!
Sand pairs with paver base gravel and, increasingly, with clean chip stone if you are avoiding the pumping issues that sand joints can develop over time. If you are mixing mortar, you will also want your cement and aggregate on site before the sand arrives so the crew is not waiting. For pool bases, a compactable base layer underneath the sand keeps things stable through freeze and thaw.
Service area
Washed mason sand for mortar needs to stay dry until you mix it, so if you are ordering ahead of a multi-day paver or block project in Meridian, tarp the pile before an April or October shower catches you off guard. Wet sand throws off your mortar ratio and makes it harder to judge workability by feel, which matters more than most DIYers expect on their first batch.
A common mistake on paver jobs here is using sand alone as bedding under pavers without compacting the base gravel layer first. Meridian's silt loam subgrade shifts more than sandy soils do, so skipping compaction means your pavers settle unevenly within a season or two, especially after a hard freeze thaw cycle each winter.
If your project is paver joints rather than a full bedding layer, you need far less sand than the coverage math for depth alone suggests, so do not over order based on square footage charts. Many crews in this area are switching joint fill from sand to clean chip stone specifically because it resists the pumping and washout that sand joints can develop after repeated freeze cycles.
Meridian sits on silt loam that drains slowly and holds moisture longer than sandy soils, which is exactly why builders bring in washed sand rather than relying on native ground for paver bases and mortar work. With growing zone 6b winters bringing hard freezes between the October and May frost dates, joint sand and bedding need to be dense and well compacted so freeze thaw cycles do not heave your pavers. Most sand work here happens on patios, walkways, and pool decks tied to spring and summer builds. Because it is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, it mixes into workable mortar without the grit problems coarser sand causes.
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.
