One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical patio project in the 200 to 300 square foot range usually needs about one yard. For paver joints or mortar mixing where you are using far less material spread thin, a single yard often covers multiple projects across a season. Measure your square footage first, then decide if you need the full 1 to 2 inch range based on the job.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Sand pairs with crushed base stone for paver patios, with polymeric joint material for finishing sweeps, and with landscape fabric to keep the base separated from Omaha's silty loam underneath. If you are pouring mortar for a retaining wall or brick veneer, you will also want portland cement on hand before the load arrives.
Service area
Omaha's silty loam drains slower than sandy soils, so when bedding pavers, compact your base stone in Iifts before adding sand, otherwise the sand will settle unevenly into soft spots underneath. Screed it level with a straight board across temporary rails set at your finished height, then lay pavers immediately before rain or wind disturbs the surface.
A common mistake is using this washed sand as paver bedding in high traffic areas. It shifts more than clean chip stone, which does not pump under load and holds pavers steadier through Omaha's freeze thaw cycles each winter. Save the washed sand for mortar and joint work where fine texture actually helps rather than paver bedding itself.
If your project spans mortar work and joint filling, order slightly more than the calculator suggests since leftover sand keeps indefinitely in a covered bin and saves you a second delivery fee later in the season. Pairing it with base stone bought in the same order also cuts down on separate trips before hardscape season gets busy from spring through fall.
Omaha sits on silty loam that holds water and turns soft after spring rain, which is exactly why sand matters for drainage under patios and walkways here. With a 5b winter that freezes and thaws through the fall, joint sand between pavers needs to stay stable or you get heaving by the second season. Most local jobs use this sand for mortar mixing on brick and block work, common in Omaha's older neighborhoods, or for leveling under pavers before base stone goes down. It is not a fill sand, it is a working sand for structure and joints.
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.
