At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a typical paver joint or mortar mixing job rarely needs more than a yard or two. For pool base prep or a full patio underlayment at 1 to 2 inches, figure your square footage and split the difference on coverage before you order. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, round up slightly rather than run short mid pour.

Most Moline jobs pairing this sand also need paver base or crushed stone underneath it for structure, especially given the clay subsoil here. If you are setting block or brick, order mortar mix components together so the crew is not making a supply run mid pour. Chip stone is worth asking about if you are doing paver bedding rather than mortar work.
Service area
Moline clay soil does not drain fast, so if you are using this sand for a pool base or under pavers, compact your base layer in lifts before adding the sand, not all at once. A rushed base settles unevenly once fall rains hit that clay. Mason sand is fine and uniform, which helps with mortar but also means it can shift if the layer beneath it is not solid first.
A common mistake on paver projects here is using this sand as the bedding layer instead of chip stone. In wet clay conditions like Moline's, sand under pavers can pump up through the joints over a season or two, leaving your patio looking uneven. Save this material for mortar mixing and joint fill, and use crushed stone underneath for a bedding layer that will not migrate.
If you are running a job that needs both mortar sand and bedding stone, order them together for one delivery instead of two separate trips. It saves handling time and keeps your site organized, especially with hardscape season running spring through fall when everyone in Moline is scheduling deliveries around the same window.
Moline sits on heavy clay soil, which is exactly why sand matters here for anything structural. Clay holds water and shifts with the freeze thaw cycle between that May 7 last frost and October 9 first frost, so a stable bedding layer under pavers or block work has to fight that movement. This sand is uniform enough for mortar mixing and paver joints, though for bedding under pavers a lot of Moline contractors have switched to chip stone since it will not pump up through joints the way sand can in wet clay conditions. Either way, hardscape season here runs spring through fall and this material moves fast during that window.
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.
