About this sand

Washed and finely screened masonry sand for mortar, paver joints, and pool bases. Consistent grain, ready to screed.

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).

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a small mortar mixing job or a paver joint fill on a modest patio often needs less than a full yard. For paver bedding at 1 to 2 inches, figure your square footage and divide by 324 for a 1 inch layer, then adjust up for 2 inches. Sand runs about 1.35 tons per cubic yard, which matters if you are figuring what your trailer or driveway can handle.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most paver jobs around here pair this sand with either paver base gravel underneath or polymeric jointing sand on top, and mortar projects usually call for masonry cement alongside it. If you are bedding a patio, ask about chip stone too, it is what a lot of installers are shifting to now instead of sand under pavers because it does not pump out over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Mason sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, which is exactly why it works in mortar, it blends smoothly and does not leave gritty pockets in your joints. If you are mixing mortar for brickwork on an older Statesboro home, do not substitute concrete sand thinking it is close enough, the coarser grains weaken workability and your joints will look rougher and cure less evenly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is using mason sand as paver bedding and assuming it will stay put. Over a few seasons of heavy Georgia rain, sand bedding under pavers can migrate or pump out through joints, leading to settling and uneven pavers. Many installers here have shifted to clean chip stone for bedding specifically because it locks in place and does not wash or pump the way sand does under repeated rain and freeze thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both mortar sand and paver base material, order them together rather than in separate trips, since a single delivery of mixed cubic yardage is more efficient than two truck visits. Keep the mortar sand covered and dry between mixing sessions, wet sand thrown into a mortar batch throws off your water ratio and weakens the mix, especially frustrating mid project during peak spring building season.

Working With Sand in Statesboro

Statesboro sits on sandy loam already, so this is not a soil amendment material, it is a construction material for mortar, joints, and bedding. In zone 8b our hardscape season runs long, spring through fall, and you will see mason sand move fastest during those stretches when patios and walkways get built. Because the native soil here drains well already, sand deliveries in this city are almost always project driven rather than drainage fixes. If you are setting pavers near Georgia Southern or in one of the older Boro neighborhoods, this is the mix masons reach for.

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

Answer

Is mason sand the same thing as what you call sand for paver patios here?

Not exactly. Mason sand is the finer, washed sand traditionally used for mortar mixing and paver joint filling, but for bedding pavers under the stone itself, many installers in Statesboro are moving to chip stone instead of sand because it resists washing out and pumping over time. Ask which use you need before ordering.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a paver patio joint fill?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint filling typically uses far less than a full inch across the whole area since it only fills the gaps. For a typical 200 to 300 square foot patio, a fraction of a yard often covers joints, but order a full yard if you are also using it for bedding.

Answer

What is the best time of year to schedule a hardscape project with sand delivery?

Spring through fall is peak hardscape season here, with our zone 8b climate giving a long working window before the first frost around November 15. Avoid mixing mortar in freezing temperatures, since cold weather affects cure time and workability, so late fall through winter jobs need extra planning.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day and do I need to prepare anything?

We place the pile wherever your driveway, curb, or job site access allows, based on what you tell us at checkout or on site. Clear a spot with enough width for the truck to unload safely, and put down a tarp first if you want to keep the sand off grass or a finished driveway surface.

Answer

Should I use mason sand or chip stone under my pavers?

Traditional practice used sand, but chip stone has become the preferred bedding material for many installers because it interlocks and resists the pumping and washout that sand can experience under heavy rain. Mason sand still makes sense for mortar mixing and joint filling, so the right choice depends on which part of the job you are working on.
