Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, or roughly half that at 2 inches, which is the typical install range for this material. For mortar mixing or paver joint work, actual usage is much lower than a coverage calculation suggests since you are filling joints or blending batches, not blanketing a surface. Most residential jobs in Morgantown need less than a full yard unless it is a larger patio or paver install.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
Sand pairs with paver base stone and edge restraints on most hardscape jobs, and with portland cement for anyone mixing mortar on site. If you are building a patio near Coopers Rock or anywhere with silt loam underneath, a compacted base layer below the sand bed keeps the whole thing from settling unevenly.
Mason sand for mortar should be dry or barely damp when you mix it, since wet sand throws off your water to cement ratio and weakens the bond. If your delivery sits outside before use, especially during a wet spring stretch here, cover it with a tarp. Scoop from the center of the pile when you're ready to mix rather than the wet outer edges after rain.
A common mistake on paver jobs is using mason sand as bedding sand under the pavers instead of just in the joints. It compacts differently than concrete sand and can shift or pump under freeze thaw cycles, which Morgantown sees plenty of between October and May. Keep mason sand for joint filling and mortar, and use a proper bedding material under the pavers themselves.
If your project needs both bedding stone and mason sand, order them together so delivery happens in one trip instead of two. Chip stone has largely replaced sand as paver bedding because it does not pump water the way sand can, so ask what your design actually calls for before assuming you need sand for the base layer as well as the joints.
Morgantown sits on silt loam, which drains slower and holds more moisture than sandy soils, so contractors here lean on sand for the specific jobs it does well rather than general grading. With hardscape work around Coopers Rock area properties and in-town patios, mason sand shows up most in mortar mixes for stone and block work, and in joint filling on paver walkways. The 6b climate gives a solid working season from spring through fall before ground freezes near the first frost in October. It is not a substitute for drainage stone in this soil type, so keep it to its intended uses.
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.
