We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a typical paver joint job or bedding layer for a mid size patio runs somewhere between half a yard and two yards depending on footprint. For mortar mixing, order based on batch volume rather than area, since it is consumed differently than a spread material. Because it weighs about 1.35 tons per cubic yard, larger orders are worth confirming against your access point before delivery.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most paver jobs pull from this sand for bedding or joint fill, then pair it with crushed gravel as a base course underneath for drainage. If you are mixing mortar for a stone or brick project, you will also want cement on hand before the load arrives. For pool deck work, some crews are shifting to clean chip stone for bedding since it does not pump the way sand can under repeated freeze thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For mortar mixing in this climate, keep your sand pile covered between batches. Richland's low humidity means surface moisture evaporates fast, and a mortar mix made with sand that dried out overnight will not hydrate evenly the next morning. A basic tarp weighted at the corners solves this and keeps your mix consistent from the first batch to the last.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake on paver jobs is skipping the compaction step on the sand bedding layer before setting stone. Even with sandy loam soil underneath, an uncompacted bedding layer will settle unevenly within a season, leaving pavers that rock or shift at the joints. Screed it, compact it lightly, then set your pavers rather than setting directly onto loose sand.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project only needs joint fill and not a full bedding layer, consider ordering a smaller quantity and pairing it with chip stone for the base course underneath. Chip stone drains better and resists the pumping action that pushes sand out from under pavers over repeated wet seasons, which stretches the life of the job without adding much to the order.

Working With Sand in Richland

Richland sits on sandy loam already, so this material is not fighting your native soil the way it would in a clay heavy region. That makes it a natural fit for paver base work and mortar mixing where you want predictable drainage and a uniform texture. Because the growing season here runs long, from last frost in mid April to first frost in late October, hardscape projects have a wide build window before ground freeze becomes a concern. At 404 feet elevation with mild winters for the region, sand stays workable later into the season than in colder inland 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

Answer

What is the difference between this sand and regular play sand or bagged sand from a hardware store?

This is washed and finely screened natural sand, more uniform than bagged concrete sand and finer than what you would find labeled for play areas. That uniformity is what makes mortar workable and lets sand settle evenly into paver joints. Bulk delivery also means you are working with a consistent batch rather than mixing bags from different production runs.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 500 square foot patio?

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a 500 square foot patio needs roughly 1.5 cubic yards for bedding. If you are going closer to 2 inches deep, plan on close to 3 cubic yards. Joint fill on top of that usually adds a modest amount depending on paver size and joint width.

Answer

When is the best time of year to do paver work in Richland?

Spring through fall is the practical window, roughly April through October, which lines up with the frost free stretch here. Working sand and setting pavers in freezing conditions makes compaction unreliable, so most contractors wrap up hardscape jobs before the first frost in late October and start back up after the ground has fully thawed in spring.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day and what access do you need?

The load is placed at the driveway or access point you specify at checkout, so let us know if there are gate widths, low branches, or slope that could affect a delivery truck. Having a clear, flat unloading spot ready before the truck arrives keeps things simple and avoids extra handling on your end.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone for my paver base?

Sand remains standard for mortar mixing and joint fill, but for paver bedding many crews are shifting to clean chip stone since it does not pump out from under pavers the way sand can over repeated wet seasons. If your project is mortar work or pool base, sand is still the right call. For bedding specifically, ask which fits your project before ordering.
