Delivery was seamless, and the truck driver took care to deposit the mulch on the tarp I had laid out. The mulch itself is much better quality than my previous experiences with bagged mulch.

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a small paver patio or walkway joint job often needs less than a full yard. For mortar mixing, order based on your mix ratio rather than area since it is measured by volume in the batch, not spread across ground. Most Orem jobs we deliver for mason sand run between a half yard and two yards depending on the scope.
Couldn't load pickup availability
We hand-pick and partner with the best yards in your region, keep only the ones our buyers rate well, and back each load with our guarantee.
If your sand isn't the quantity or quality you ordered, we'll make it right.

So Easy!
So Cheap!
So doing this again next year!
Mason sand pairs naturally with pavers, polymeric jointing sand top dressing, and crushed base rock for the sub grade beneath a patio or walkway. If you are setting a paver base, ask whether chip stone makes more sense for you since it is increasingly used in place of sand bedding and does not pump up through the joints over time. For mortar work, you will also want cement and lime on hand before the load arrives.
Service area
Because Orem's alkaline loam holds water differently than sandy soils, keep your mason sand covered or tarped between delivery and use if rain is forecast, since damp sand throws off your mortar water ratio fast. A moisture swing of even a little changes workability more than most people expect, and it is a common reason first batches come out too wet on site.
A common mistake on paver jobs here is using mason sand for bedding under the pavers instead of just the joints. Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which makes it excellent for mortar but prone to pumping and washout as a bedding layer. If you are setting a base, chip stone or concrete sand is the better call, save the mason sand for joints and mortar mixing.
If your project spans both mortar work and joint filling, order slightly over your calculated total rather than placing two separate deliveries. One well sized load scheduled at checkout costs less in time and hassle than a follow up delivery, and leftover mason sand stores fine under a tarp for the next small job around the house.
Orem sits at 4767 feet with alkaline loam soils that drain slowly when compacted, which is part of why so many homeowners here upgrade patios and walkways with hardscape rather than fight the native ground. This sand is not for spreading over your lawn or garden beds, it is a construction material for mortar and paver joints. With the growing season running frost to frost from late April to late October, most masonry and paver work gets scheduled in that window when the ground is workable and cure times are predictable.
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.
