How Much Sand Do I Need?
How Much Sand Do I Need?
At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, and at 2 inches that drops to roughly 162 square feet, so measure your project area first and match it to the depth your application actually needs. Mortar mixing and pool bases usually call for the full 2 inch working layer, while paver joint filling needs only a thin skim coat. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly since sand compacts some once it settles.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

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
Sand pairs naturally with block, brick, or paver stock already staged for the job, and with portland cement if you're mixing mortar on site. For paver bedding, many Parkersburg contractors are shifting to clean chip stone instead, since it locks in place and doesn't pump moisture the way sand can under freeze thaw cycles near the river.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Parkersburg's freeze thaw swings between the Oct 24 first frost and Apr 20 last frost mean any sand base under a pool or patio needs to be compacted in thin lifts, not dumped and leveled all at once. If you pour it too deep and skip compaction, spring thaw in the silt clay subsoil will cause uneven settling by the following winter. Work in 1 inch lifts and tamp between each one.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake on mortar jobs here is using sand straight off the pile without checking moisture content first. Wet sand throws off your mix ratio and makes mortar too soupy to hold a joint line, especially on humid summer days along the river. Let a scoop sit and squeeze test it, if it holds a loose ball and crumbles, it's ready to mix.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're doing both mortar work and paver joints on the same project, order the mason sand as one delivery instead of splitting trips, since the finer grain works for both uses. Save chip stone for the paver bedding layer underneath, where it resists the pumping and washout that sand can suffer once winter runoff moves through Parkersburg's clay heavy yards.
Working With Sand in Parkersburg
Around Blennerhassett Island and throughout Parkersburg, the silt clay base under most yards drains slowly and swells when wet, which makes bedding layers and mortar joints more important than they'd be in a sandier region. This material is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly what gives mortar its workability on brick and block projects common in the older river neighborhoods. Pool base work also benefits from that fine, even grain since it packs tight under liners without leaving voids. It is not meant to replace chip stone under pavers, where drainage matters more than smoothness.
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.
