One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only needs a 1 to 2 inch layer. For a typical patio joint fill or pool base prep, figure your square footage first, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing bags, since bulk delivery is more practical for anything beyond a small repair.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Mason sand is often ordered alongside paver base stone or crushed stone for the compacted sub base beneath a patio or pool deck. If you are mixing mortar on site, you will also want your masonry cement on hand before the load arrives. Some crews are now pairing it with clean chip stone instead for paver bedding, since chip stone does not pump the way sand can under Myrtle Beach's frequent heavy rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand pumps easily in wet conditions, and Myrtle Beach gets its share of sudden downpours during hardscape season. If you are using it for paver joints, sweep it in and compact on a dry day, then check joints again after the first hard rain since fine sand can wash or settle low. Many local crews are switching paver joints to chip stone for exactly this reason, but sand still mixes better for mortar work.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is assuming beach sand or fill sand from a yard is close enough for mortar. It is not. Mason sand is washed and screened to a consistent fine grain specifically so mortar stays workable long enough to set block or brick without crumbling later. If your mix feels gritty or inconsistent, the sand grade is usually the culprit, not the cement ratio.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your job needs both mortar sand and a paver base, order the crushed stone base material at the same time as your sand delivery to save a second trip charge. Stockpile sand on a tarp rather than bare ground, especially here where existing native sand can mix in at the pile edges and contaminate your clean load before you use it.

Working With Sand in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach sits on native sandy soil, but that beach and yard sand is not the same as mason sand and will not work in mortar or paver joints. Contractors along the Grand Strand order this material specifically for pool decks near the tourist corridor and for paver patios on the newer builds inland from the SkyWheel. The fine, uniform grain is what lets masons keep mortar workable in our humid, hot build season. Because the ground here drains fast already, mason sand projects are usually about precision, not drainage.

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 mason sand the same as the sand already in my yard here in Myrtle Beach?

No. Native yard soil here is sandy, but it is not washed or screened to a consistent grain, so it will not perform correctly in mortar or paver joints. Mason sand is processed specifically for those uses. Using yard sand in mortar can lead to weak, crumbly joints once it cures.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a paver patio joint fill?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint fill typically only needs a thin top layer, not a full inch across the whole patio. For most residential patios, a fraction of a yard is enough, but we deliver by the full cubic yard, so combine it with another sand need if your job is small.

Answer

When is the best time to install mason sand for paver joints in this climate?

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, and it is also when you get the most consistent dry stretches to compact and set the sand. Avoid installing right before a forecasted heavy rain since fresh sand joints can wash out before they settle. Early morning work in summer also avoids the worst heat for mortar mixing.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day?

The driver places the load at the driveway or staging area you specify at checkout, and delivery is scheduled then rather than on a fixed guaranteed time. Make sure the drop zone is clear and accessible, since sand is heavy and will need to be moved by hand or wheelbarrow after delivery.

Answer

Should I use mason sand or chip stone for my paver base here?

Mason sand still works well as bedding, but many local contractors have shifted to clean chip stone for paver bedding because it does not pump or wash out the way sand can under heavy rain. Mason sand remains the right choice for mortar mixing and joint work regardless of that shift.
