The website to order is super easy to use. Pick a mulch, date/time/driveway location of the delivery and that’s it. A few days later there was a nice mound of mulch in my driveway. Great service - just as promised.

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar and joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches, so a single yard goes a long way on a typical patio or paver job. Figure your square footage first, then decide if you need the full 2 inches for a pool base versus a thin 1 inch layer for joint sweeping. Most residential jobs in Ocala order somewhere between a half yard and two yards.

Pair mason sand with paver base stone or crushed concrete for the compacted sub base, then use the sand for the leveling course and joint fill on top. If you are mixing mortar for a block wall or barn foundation, you will also want cement and a mixing surface on site. Many Ocala jobs order both the base material and the sand together to keep the delivery to one trip.
Service area
Mason sand is being replaced by clean chip stone for paver bedding in a lot of markets because chip stone does not pump moisture up through the joints the way sand can. If you are setting pavers in Ocala where afternoon storms are frequent through summer, ask yourself whether you want sand under the pavers or just in the joints. Many masons here still use sand for joint fill but switch to stone underneath.
Keep mason sand covered or tarped once delivered, especially during Ocala's wet season from June through September. Wet sand still works for mortar but it throws off your water to mix ratio, and a soaked pile is harder to shovel and screed evenly. A simple poly tarp weighted at the corners keeps it workable for weeks.
If your project needs both mortar sand and a paver base layer, order them on the same delivery instead of two separate trips. Ocala's hardscape season runs spring through fall, so contractors and DIYers who bundle materials tend to keep projects moving instead of waiting on a second load mid build.
Ocala already sits on sandy native soil, so this is not about amending ground, it is about construction grade work. With horse country building out barns, arenas, and pool decks year round, mason sand shows up constantly in mortar mixes and paver joint fill. The fine, uniform grain is what makes mortar workable when masons are laying block for a barn foundation or a courtyard wall. It is not meant for turf or bedding, it is a building material first.
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.
