One cubic yard of mason sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical paver joint job or small mortar batch rarely needs more than a yard or two. Mortar mixing volumes depend on your brick count more than square footage, so estimate by batch size if that is your project. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly, running out mid mix is worse than having a little extra on site.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Highest compliments. Great driver.
Website is easy to navigate. Just a seamless process. 5 stars!!
Mason sand pairs naturally with pavers, brick, and block on the same delivery, and a lot of Texarkana jobs also call for gravel or crushed stone as a compacted base layer underneath. If you are doing pool work, a paver border around the coping is a common next step. Order what you need for the full sequence so everything lands in one trip.
Service area
Mason sand's fine, uniform grain is what makes mortar workable, but that same fineness means it can wash out of paver joints faster than coarser material, especially with Texarkana's spring and summer downpours. If you are jointing pavers, compact the sand in with a plate compactor and a light misting of water, then top off after the first hard rain before it sets for good.
A common mistake is substituting mason sand for concrete sand in structural mixes. Mason sand is finer and works fine for mortar joints and finishing work, but it does not have the coarser particle structure that gives concrete its strength. Keep the two separate on site so a crew does not grab the wrong pile for a footing pour.
If your project includes both mortar work and paver bedding, consider ordering mason sand for the mortar and chip stone for the paver base, since chip stone resists the pumping and washout that sand under pavers can develop over a wet Texarkana season. Splitting materials by task instead of using one sand for everything saves callbacks later.
Texarkana sits on sandy loam soil that already drains fast, so mason sand is not usually going down as a soil amendment here, it is a build material. Most calls we get are for mortar mixing on brick and block projects, paver joint fill, and pool base leveling, the kind of hardscape work that picks up once the last frost clears around March 31. With Twin City's mix of older brick homes and newer patios, uniform sand matters for a mortar bed that actually holds. Chip stone is taking over some paver bedding work, but joint sand and mortar mixing still call for this finer material.
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.
