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

Mason sand is sold by the cubic yard and weighs about 1.35 tons per yard. At a typical 1 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet, so a small paver patio or mortar batch project usually needs less than a full yard while larger paver jointing or pool base jobs can run several yards.

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

Mason sand is often ordered alongside paver base gravel or clean chip stone for bedding, since chip stone is increasingly used under pavers instead of sand because it will not pump out over time. For mortar work, it pairs with cement and sometimes a small load of concrete sand if the mix calls for a coarser blend.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Savannah's humidity means bagged or piled mason sand can pick up moisture fast, which throws off your mortar ratio. If you're mixing mortar over a few days, cover the pile with a tarp between batches and keep it off bare ground so it doesn't wick up water. A drier, more consistent sand gives you a mortar mix that spreads evenly instead of clumping or slumping on the trowel.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is using mason sand as paver bedding out of habit. It's finer than concrete sand and more prone to washing out or pumping up through joints, especially with Savannah's heavy seasonal rain. Many contractors here have shifted to clean chip stone for bedding because it locks together and drains instead of shifting. Save the mason sand for mortar and joint filling, not the base layer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more mason sand than your calculation suggests if you're doing mortar work, since spillage and mixing loss add up on a real job site. It's better to have a partial bag left over than to stop mid batch. If you're also doing a paver base, ordering chip stone and mason sand together in one delivery saves a second trip and keeps both materials on hand as the job progresses.

Working With Sand in Savannah

Savannah already sits on sandy native soil, so this material is not for backfilling planting beds, it is a construction sand for specific jobs. Mason sand shows up here in mortar for brick and tabby style walls, in paver joints on patios near the historic squares, and as a base layer under pool decks. The city's humid, high water table conditions mean sand for mortar needs to stay dry and covered before use so it mixes predictably. With hardscape season running spring through fall, most of our mason sand orders in Savannah come in ahead of patio and walkway builds.

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 is washed, finely screened mason sand, the term used most often in the Savannah area for this product. It is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is what makes it workable for mortar mixing and tight paver joints.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a small patio's paver joints?

At a 1 inch fill depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, but paver joints only use a thin layer, so most patios under 500 square feet need well under a full yard. Measure your patio's square footage and we can help size the order down to a partial yard.

Answer

When is the best time to do hardscape work in Savannah?

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, when drier stretches make mortar work and paver setting easier. Summer humidity can slow mortar curing, so many builders start early in the morning. Avoid working right after heavy rain since Savannah's sandy soil holds surface water longer than you'd expect.

Answer

Where will the sand be dropped off?

The truck places the load wherever you specify, usually a driveway, curb, or open area near your project. Since it is dumped in bulk rather than carried in, make sure the drop spot is clear and accessible, and let us know at checkout if there are any access restrictions like narrow lanes near the historic district.

Answer

Should I use this for paver base instead of gravel?

Not recommended. Mason sand is fine and can shift or pump under pavers, especially with Savannah's rainfall and high water table. Most contractors now use clean chip stone for the base layer since it does not pump out, and save mason sand for joint filling and mortar mixing instead.
