This sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth per cubic yard, and most paver joint or mortar work only needs a 1 to 2 inch layer, so a single cubic yard often handles a mid sized patio or walkway. Measure your square footage first, then decide if you are filling joints thin or setting a bedding layer thicker, since that changes your yardage fast. At 1.35 tons per cubic yard, even a modest order adds real weight, so know your access point before delivery day.

Most sand orders in Smithfield show up alongside pavers or natural stone for a patio, walkway, or pool deck. Some crews are shifting from sand to clean chip stone for paver bedding since it will not pump out from under the units the way sand can over time, worth asking about if you are building for the long haul. Mortar work still calls for this sand specifically, chip stone will not mix into a workable mortar.
Service area
At 4636 feet, Smithfield sees stronger UV and faster surface drying than lower elevation towns, which means sand joints between pavers can dry out and loosen quicker if you skip a joint stabilizer or polymeric sand topping. If you are using plain washed sand for joints, plan to sweep in and compact it in two passes rather than one, and expect to top it off again after the first winter freeze thaw cycle works it loose.
A common mistake on paver jobs here is laying bedding sand too thick, over 2 inches, hoping it will settle evenly. It does not settle evenly, it settles wherever water finds a path through the silt loam base beneath it, leaving low spots. Screed it to a consistent 1 inch bedding layer, compact the base below it properly first, and let the sand do only the leveling job it is meant for.
If your project is paver bedding rather than mortar mixing, ask about clean chip stone before you order sand. It costs about the same by volume, does not pump or wash out under freeze thaw cycling the way sand can, and needs less maintenance over the life of a patio. Save the finely screened sand for mortar work and joint filling where its finer texture actually matters.
Smithfield sits at 4636 feet with silt loam soil underneath most yards, which drains slower than sandy ground and holds water near the surface after spring runoff off the mountains near Smithfield Canyon. That makes a well built sand base under pavers or a patio more important here, not less, since the native soil below it does not shed moisture quickly. Homeowners doing hardscape work between the May 5 last frost and the October 5 first frost use this sand for paver joints, mortar mixing, and pool deck bases. It is not a soil amendment or a play area fill, it is a construction material for a specific job.
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.
