We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar and paver joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches of material. For a typical 200 to 300 square foot patio joint fill or mortar mixing job, one yard is usually enough, but measure your actual square footage and depth before ordering since sand is heavy at 1.35 tons per cubic yard and overordering gets expensive fast.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most jobs using this sand also need base material underneath, whether that is crushed limestone base or decomposed granite, plus the pavers or stone themselves. If you are setting a pool deck or patio near the river, ask about chip stone too, since a lot of installers are shifting away from sand bedding toward chip stone that does not pump out from underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar. If you are mixing mortar in New Braunfels heat, keep the sand pile covered and damp rather than bone dry, since overly dry fine sand makes mortar hard to control and it sets faster once temperatures climb past 90 in summer months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is using mason sand as paver bedding under heavy traffic patios. It compacts less predictably than chip stone and can pump out over time under clay loam soil that shifts with our wet and dry cycles. If you are building a durable patio near the river where soil moisture swings, ask about chip stone bedding instead and save the mason sand for joints.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order mason sand and your paver base material together when possible so you are not paying for two separate delivery trips. Since this sand is used in thin layers for joints and mortar rather than as bulk fill, most residential jobs need less volume than people expect, so measure carefully rather than rounding up a full extra yard.

Working With Sand in New Braunfels

New Braunfels sits on clay loam, which is not a sand problem in the way turf or drainage projects are, but it matters for hardscape prep because clay loam shifts more with moisture than sandy soil does. That means paver bases and mortar work need a properly screeded bed rather than relying on the sand to self level over time. With hardscape season running spring through fall here and plenty of patio and outdoor kitchen builds near Gruene Hall and along the river corridor, mason sand stays in steady demand for pointing pavers and setting stone.

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

Answer

Is mason sand the same as regular sand from a hardware store bag?

No, this is washed and finely screened natural sand at a consistent grade, which is what makes it workable for mortar mixing and paver joints. Bagged sand varies more in grain size and cleanliness. Ordering by the cubic yard also gets you a consistent batch for an entire job instead of mixing bags from different sources.

Answer

How much sand do I need for paver joints on a 250 square foot patio?

At a 1 inch fill depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a 250 square foot patio typically needs less than a full yard for joint sand alone. Most homeowners round up to one yard to have extra on hand for touch ups later.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule a hardscape sand delivery in New Braunfels?

Spring through fall is when most patio and paver work happens here, so scheduling ahead during those months helps you plan around your mason or contractor's timeline. Sand itself has no seasonal restriction, it just needs to stay reasonably dry before mixing or spreading.

Answer

Where will the sand be dropped off if my driveway is narrow?

You direct the driver to a specific spot at delivery, ideally a hard, flat surface like a driveway or street apron rather than grass or clay loam soil that can get rutted by truck weight. Let us know ahead of time if access is tight so we can plan the drop accordingly.

Answer

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

Mason sand still works well for mortar mixing and paver joints, but many installers now use chip stone for the bedding layer under pavers because it does not pump or wash out the way sand can, especially in soil that shifts with moisture like our clay loam. If your project is bedding rather than joints, ask about chip stone.
