About this sand

Washed and finely screened masonry sand for mortar, paver joints, and pool bases. Consistent grain, ready to screed.

One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a small mortar batch or a run of paver joints usually needs less than a full yard. For pool base work or thicker beds at 2 inches, plan on roughly half that coverage per yard. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, it helps to measure your area first and work backward from the depth you actually need.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mortar work usually calls for portland cement and lime on hand before the sand shows up. If you are doing paver joints or a pool base, many Moss Bluff crews are pairing this sand with clean chip stone for the bedding layer instead of using sand there too, since it drains better in our humidity. Edging material or paver base stone rounds out most patio and walkway jobs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand works best when it is slightly damp, not bone dry, when you mix mortar with it in our humid climate. Bone dry sand pulls moisture from the mix too fast and makes the mortar stiffen before you can work it. If your delivery sits for a few days before use, cover the pile with a tarp to hold some moisture and keep it from blowing around on windy Calcasieu River afternoons.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake here is using mason sand as paver bedding and then wondering why joints pump up during heavy rain. This sand is too fine to lock in place under load the way angular chip stone does. If you are setting a patio or walkway, use mason sand only for the joints themselves and switch to a coarser bedding material underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying a full cubic yard even for a smaller mortar job often works out more efficient than multiple bagged trips, since bagged sand costs more per pound and you will likely need a refill mid project anyway. Pair the order with your cement and lime purchase so everything shows up around the same time and your mix stays consistent from batch to batch.

Working With Sand in Moss Bluff

Moss Bluff sits on silt loam near the Calcasieu River, and that soil holds water in ways that make sand useful for drainage layers under pool decks and paver patios. With a growing season that runs from late February to early December, most hardscape work happens in the warmer months when the ground is workable and mortar cures properly. Builders here still reach for mason sand for mortar mixing because its fine, uniform grain makes the mix workable in humid conditions. For paver bedding, more crews are switching to chip stone since it does not pump the way sand can under Louisiana rain.

Masonry vs Fill Sand

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.

Bedding and Leveling

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.

Working With Moisture

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is this the same as mason sand I would buy for mortar mixing?

Yes, this is washed and finely screened mason sand, the standard choice for mortar mixing and paver joints. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what keeps mortar workable when you are mixing by hand or in a small mixer on site in Moss Bluff.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a pool deck base?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 160 square feet, since a yard covers about 324 square feet at 1 inch. Measure your deck area in square feet and divide by that coverage figure to get your yard count, then round up slightly for compaction loss.

Answer

When is the best time of year to do paver or mortar work here?

Spring through fall is the busiest and most practical window, since our frost season runs roughly December through late February and cold, wet ground makes mortar cure poorly. Most Moss Bluff crews schedule pool decks and patios once the ground dries out after the last frost date.

Answer

Where will the truck place the sand on delivery day?

You choose the drop location at checkout, whether that is your driveway, a spot near the build site, or an area with easier truck access. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a delivery truck, and put down a tarp if the load is going onto grass or a finished surface.

Answer

Should I use this sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For paver bedding, chip stone is increasingly the better call since it locks in place and does not pump under rain the way sand can. Save this mason sand for the joints between pavers and for mortar mixing, where its fine, uniform grain is actually the advantage rather than a drawback.
