How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most jobs here run 1 to 2 inches depending on whether it is paver joint filling or a full pool base. For joint sand on an existing patio you need very little, but pool bases and bedding layers eat up yardage fast since you are covering the whole footprint. Measure your square footage first, then decide your depth based on the project type.

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
Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base stone or crushed gravel for pool decks and patios, and with portland cement for anyone mixing their own mortar on site. If you are doing a full paver installation, many local crews are shifting to clean chip stone for bedding instead of sand, since it does not pump or wash out the way sand can under freeze thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Mason sand's fine grain is exactly what makes mortar workable, but that same fineness means it holds moisture longer than coarser sand. In Point Pleasant's coastal humidity, keep your pile covered with a tarp between mixing sessions, especially in the shoulder seasons when damp mornings are common. Wet mason sand throws off your mortar ratios and can make joints too soft to hold up over a full New Jersey winter freeze cycle.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake here is using mason sand as paver bedding under a patio near the water. It compacts fine at first, but sandy native soil combined with seasonal freeze thaw near the shore lets it migrate and pump up between joints over a season or two. Clean chip stone bedding resists that shifting far better and is worth the switch if you are starting a new install rather than repairing an old one.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both bedding and joint sand, order mason sand for joints only and pair it with crushed stone for the base layer, it costs less per yard and performs better under load. Buying both in one delivery instead of separate hardware store runs also saves time, since pool decks and patio jobs near the boardwalk often need more base material than sand once you calculate the full depth.
Working With Sand in Point Pleasant
Point Pleasant sits at 10 feet elevation with sandy soil already dominating most lots, so this material is not being brought in to fix drainage, it is for building. Pool decks, paver patios, and mortar work are common here given how many homes near the shore have outdoor living space and pools. With a zone 7b climate and a building season that runs spring through fall, mason sand orders spike as homeowners prep pool bases and paver joints before summer. The fine, uniform grain is what makes it workable for mortar in a way coarser concrete sand cannot match.
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.
