How Much Sand Do I Need?
How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most jobs here call for 1 to 2 inches depending on whether you are bedding pavers or mixing mortar. For paver joint work you will use far less per square foot than for a full bedding layer, so measure your project area first and decide your depth based on the use. Sold strictly by the cubic yard, so round up rather than guess short.

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
Mason sand pairs with paver base stone and edge restraints on most hardscape jobs, and with bagged cement or lime for mortar mixing. Some crews around here are shifting to clean chip stone for paver bedding since it does not pump or wash out the way sand can under heavy Louisiana rain. If you are building a pool deck, ask about a base layer plan before ordering.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works for mortar, but that same fineness means it compacts differently under pavers. If you are bedding pavers in Shreveport clay conditions, a lot of crews are moving to clean chip stone underneath instead, since sand can migrate and pump up through joints during heavy rain events, which we get plenty of here.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Keep the pile covered or tarped if rain is expected before you can use it, since wet sand is harder to screed evenly for mortar batching. A common mistake is mixing mortar with sand that is still damp from a recent storm, since it throws off your water ratio and weakens the mix. Check moisture by squeezing a handful before you start.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If your project needs both mortar sand and paver base material, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to make one pile do both jobs, since the grain sizes serve different purposes. Planning your pool base or patio project in the spring, ahead of Shreveport's peak hardscape season, usually means easier scheduling before contractors book up their trucks.
Working With Sand in Shreveport
Shreveport sits on clay loam, so anything that touches native soil around here tends to hold water and shift with the seasons. Mason sand does not fix that, it is a working material for mortar and paver joints, not a soil amendment. Around Ratchet City, most calls we get are for pool base work and hardscape jobs near patios and driveways where drainage under the pavers actually matters. With hardscape season running spring through fall here, a lot of orders come in once the ground dries out enough to work.
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.
