One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, or half that area at 2 inches, which is the typical range for paver joints, mortar mixing, and pool base work. Measure your patio or walkway footprint in square feet first, then decide whether you need a 1 inch bedding layer or a fuller 2 inch base before ordering by the cubic yard.

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.

Mason sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and polymeric sand in the joints once pavers are set. Masons often order it alongside portland cement for mortar mixing on veneer and block projects. If you are building a pool deck, ask about paver base stone to go below it for extra stability.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar but is less ideal as paver bedding in wet climates. Around San Antonio, heavy spring downpours can wash fines out of a sand bed over time. If you are setting pavers, consider clean chip stone as bedding instead, since it does not pump or migrate the way sand can under repeated saturation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is screeding sand too deep, thinking more base means more stability. Stick to 1 inch for paver bedding and 2 inches only where you need extra leveling over uneven clay subgrade. Over-thick sand beds actually shift more under foot traffic and vehicle weight, especially once San Antonio's summer heat dries them out and loosens compaction.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order mason sand and your paver base gravel in the same delivery when possible, it saves a second truck trip and lets you build the full base system in one work session. If your project spans both mortar work and paver setting, buying a slightly larger yardage upfront avoids running short mid-pour, since matching sand batches exactly later is not always possible.

Working With Sand in San Antonio

San Antonio sits on clay and caliche, soil that does not drain and does not forgive an uneven base. Mason sand gives paver installers and masons a consistent, workable layer that clay alone cannot provide. With hardscape season running spring through fall here, contractors and homeowners are pouring patios, laying paver walkways, and mixing mortar for stone veneer against Alamo City's limestone-heavy building style. The fine, uniform grain is what makes mortar spreadable and pool base installations level.

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

Is this the same as what people here call mason sand?

Yes, mason sand is the common term for washed, finely screened sand like this in Texas and much of the South. It is what masons use for mortar mixing and what installers use under pavers and around pool bases. If a supplier or contractor mentions mason sand, this is the material they mean.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a 200 square foot patio?

At a standard 1 inch bedding depth, 200 square feet needs a bit under one cubic yard, since one yard covers about 324 square feet at that depth. If you want a 2 inch base over uneven clay subgrade, plan on roughly 1.25 cubic yards to be safe.

Answer

When is the best time to install pavers in San Antonio?

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, once soil is workable and before the first frost around late November. Avoid pouring a sand base right before or during heavy rain, since San Antonio's clay soil already drains poorly and a soaked base will not compact properly.

Answer

Can your truck get down a narrow driveway to drop the load?

Delivery trucks need reasonable clearance and a stable surface to unload safely, so let us know about narrow gates, overhead branches, or soft ground when you schedule. We place the load where you direct on delivery day, and you will confirm your exact drop location and access details at checkout.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone under my pavers?

Many installers are moving away from sand as paver bedding in favor of clean chip stone, since chip stone does not pump or shift under wet conditions the way sand can. Mason sand still works best for mortar mixing, paver joint filling, and pool base work where its fine, uniform texture is the actual advantage.
