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).

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 324 square feet, so a small mortar batch or a run of paver joints on a typical Spokane patio rarely needs more than a partial yard. For mortar mixing specifically, figure your ratio first and then back into yardage since a little goes a long way compared to bedding applications. Most residential jobs here land between a quarter yard and one full 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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Pair this sand with paver base gravel for the sub grade and a topping of chip stone if you are jointing pavers rather than pouring mortar. If you are doing masonry work around a fireplace or retaining wall near the Spokane Falls trail system, portland cement and your aggregate should arrive together so the mix stays consistent.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works in mortar and fails as paver bedding. If your project is pool base leveling or wide paver joints, ask about chip stone instead, it locks in place and will not pump out from under the pavers the way sand does after a Spokane freeze thaw winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake here is ordering sand in November hoping to get ahead of spring projects. At 1,843 feet, ground temperatures swing fast, and sand left in a pile through a wet Spokane winter can compact or develop a crust that needs reworking before use. If you are not building until spring, order closer to your start date.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your job needs both mortar sand and a coarser aggregate for base work, ordering both in the same delivery window saves a second trip charge and keeps your crew from stalling mid pour waiting on material. Many Spokane hardscape contractors stage sand and gravel together for exactly this reason.

Working With Sand in Spokane

Spokane's volcanic loam drains fine on its own but it does not behave like sand when you need a clean, uniform base for mortar or paver joints. With freeze thaw cycles running from October into May at 1,843 feet of elevation, mortar joints need a consistent grain to resist frost heave, and this sand's uniformity is what makes that possible. It is not the material for pool base leveling under pavers anymore, chip stone has taken over there because it does not pump under freeze pressure, but for mortar mixing it still does the job volcanic loam cannot.

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 sand used for paver base under a patio in Spokane?

Not typically. This mason sand is meant for mortar mixing and paver joints, not as a bedding layer under pavers. For paver base and leveling, chip stone has become the standard here because it locks in place and does not pump out during freeze thaw cycles common at our elevation.

Answer

How much sand do I need for mortar on a small stone wall?

It depends on your mix ratio, but one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is far more than most mortar jobs use since mortar is mixed rather than spread. Most homeowners doing a wall or fireplace surround order a quarter to half yard.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule sand delivery for a patio project in Spokane?

Hardscape season here runs spring through fall, roughly after the last frost around May 5 through before the first frost in October. Scheduling delivery close to your actual start date keeps the sand workable and avoids it sitting exposed through wet weather.

Answer

Where will the sand be dropped on delivery day?

The driver places the load at the driveway or curb spot you specify during checkout, so make sure there is a clear, flat area at least 10 feet wide for the truck to access. If your site has tight access, note it at checkout so we can plan the drop accordingly.

Answer

Should I get mason sand or chip stone for my paver project?

If you are setting mortar joints or mixing mortar, mason sand is the right call because of its fine, uniform grain. If you are jointing or bedding pavers, chip stone is now the better choice since it resists pumping and shifting through Spokane's freeze thaw winters, which sand does not handle as well long term.
