Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, and most paver joint or bedding work only needs 1 to 2 inches. A typical 300 to 400 square foot patio project usually runs 1 to 1.5 cubic yards depending on final depth, and mortar mixing jobs are sized by bag ratio rather than area. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly since compaction will settle the layer.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

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.
Most Rock Hill hardscape jobs pair this sand with paver base gravel underneath for drainage through our clay soil, then use the sand as the leveling and joint fill layer on top. If you are mixing mortar for a stone wall or steps, you will also want the right cement ratio bags on hand before the sand arrives. For pool installs, a layer of compactable base material under the sand keeps the whole structure from settling.

Rock Hill's clay soil does not drain well, so before you spread mason sand for a patio or paver base, dig out and compact the clay subgrade first rather than laying sand straight on top of it. If you skip this, water sits under the sand layer and the whole patio shifts within a year or two, especially after our wetter spring months when hardscape season kicks off.
A common mistake is laying mason sand too thick for paver joints, more than 2 inches and it never compacts evenly, leaving soft spots that pavers rock on. Screed it level, sweep joints full in thin passes, and lightly water between passes so it settles into the gaps instead of just sitting on top.
If you're mixing mortar and also need paver bedding, order mason sand as one delivery instead of buying bagged sand for one job and bulk for the other, it is easier to manage on site and there is less waste since you can shift leftover sand between tasks. Pair it with a gravel base delivery on the same day if your project needs both, most Rock Hill contractors schedule them together.
Rock Hill sits on clay soil that holds water and shifts with the freeze thaw cycle between our April 1 last frost and November 10 first frost. That movement is hard on rigid hardscapes, so a clean, well drained sand bed under pavers or a pool matters more here than in sandier parts of the state. Mason sand also gets used heavily for mortar on brick and stone work, common around older Rock Hill neighborhoods near downtown and the Riverwalk. Because clay does not drain, keeping sand layers thin and well compacted is the difference between a patio that stays flat and one that heaves.
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.
