One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical 200 square foot paver patio joint fill or bedding touch up needs well under a full yard. For mortar mixing on a block or stone project, plan quantity around your block count rather than square footage, and order in cubic yards since that is how we deliver and measure it. Most residential jobs in St. George, from a small paver walkway to a pool deck border, run between a quarter yard and one full yard.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.
I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Sand pairs naturally with pavers, natural stone, or block for mortar work, and most yards ordering sand for paver joints are also ordering base material like road base or chip stone underneath. If you are setting a pool deck or patio, a load of compactable base plus a smaller sand order for joints and bedding covers the whole build in one delivery.
Service area
In St. George's dry heat, mortar mixed with sand can flash cure faster than crews expect, especially on afternoon pours in summer. Mix smaller batches and keep them shaded, and consider working early morning during June through August. This is not unique to sand itself, but the local climate changes how it behaves in the mixer more than most people account for on their first hardscape job here.
A common mistake we see locally is using mason sand as full paver bedding instead of joint fill. It is finer than concrete sand and can shift or pump under freeze thaw cycles, which St. George does get in winter even at a mild elevation. Most crews here have shifted to compacted chip stone for the bedding layer and reserve sand strictly for joints and mortar, which holds up better long term.
Order mason sand and your base material in the same delivery when possible, since both get used on the same hardscape timeline and combining loads saves a separate trip to your site. If your project is phased, order joint sand last, closer to when pavers are actually being set, since a pile of fine sand left exposed to wind on an open lot can lose material over a few weeks.
St. George sits on sandy loam already, so this native ground drains fast and holds heat, which is exactly why finished sand for mortar and paver joints performs so well here, it will not hold moisture and swell the way a clay based fill might elsewhere. With a growing season that runs from mid March to early November and elevation just under 2900 feet, hardscape crews get a long stretch of workable weather for patios, walkways, and pool decks around town. The dry desert air also means mortar sand mixes stay workable without fighting excess humidity. Most calls we get here are for paver joint fill and mortar mixing on new patio builds rather than drainage work.
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.
