I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar and joint work only needs 1 to 2 inches, so a single yard often handles a decent patio or walkway project. For pool base work or thicker beds, plan closer to the 2 inch depth and divide your square footage by roughly 162 square feet per yard instead. Measure your area first, then size the order rather than guessing and running short mid project.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

I needed 3 yards of top soil and that's what I got! Right on time and right where I asked it to be placed (Order# 2041).

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most jobs pairing this sand also need paver base gravel underneath and either paver stones or a mortar mix on top. If you are leaning toward a paver bed instead of mortar work, it is worth asking about clean chip stone, which is increasingly used in place of sand under pavers because it does not pump or shift the way sand can.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, it is what makes mortar workable, but that same fineness means it can wash out of paver joints faster if you skip a polymeric sweep. If you are doing joint fill on a patio near Treaty Rock or anywhere with slope, sweep in a polymeric sand product over the top or plan on refilling joints seasonally as our freeze thaw cycle works the base.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake here is using this sand as a full paver bedding layer the way it used to be done. It is increasingly being replaced by clean chip stone for that job because chip stone locks together and will not pump or squish out under freeze thaw the way sand can in our silt loam soil. Save this sand for mortar mixing, joint fill, and pool bases where its fine texture is actually the advantage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both a compactable base and this sand for joints or mortar, order them together and have both delivered the same trip to avoid paying for two separate deliveries. Most hardscape jobs in Post Falls run spring through fall anyway, so timing one combined delivery around your work schedule is usually simpler than staggering materials as the job progresses.

Working With Sand in Post Falls

Post Falls silt loam holds moisture and shifts a bit with our freeze thaw cycle between the October and May frost dates, which is exactly why paver bases and mortar work need a sand that is not fighting the native soil underneath. Masons and patio builders around town use this sand for joint fill and mixing because it is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which keeps mortar workable during our shorter building season. With growing zone 6b winters locking up the ground for months, most sand work here happens in a compressed spring through fall window, so getting the base right the first time matters more than in milder climates.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Is this the same as mason sand?

Yes, this washed and finely screened sand is what many people in other regions call mason sand. It is the finer, more uniform product used for mortar mixing and paver joint fill, as opposed to coarser concrete sand or bedding sand.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for paver joints on a mid size patio?

One cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is more than enough for joint fill on most patios since joints only need a thin fill layer. Measure your patio's total square footage, and for joint work alone a single yard usually goes a long way rather than being fully consumed.

Answer

When is the best time to do sand and paver work in Post Falls?

Spring through fall is the practical window, since our last frost lands around May 12 and first frost hits around October 5. Working outside that window risks the ground being too cold or wet to compact properly, which matters more for base work than for the sand itself.

Answer

Where will the truck place the sand on delivery day?

We place the load in your driveway or another spot you specify at checkout, so let us know ahead of time if you need it closer to the backyard or a specific staging area. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a delivery truck beforehand.

Answer

Should I use this sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For paver bedding, many builders are shifting to clean chip stone since it locks together and does not pump or shift under freeze thaw the way sand can. This sand is still the better call for mortar mixing, joint fill, and pool bases where its fine, uniform texture is the point.
