The website to order is super easy to use. Pick a mulch, date/time/driveway location of the delivery and that’s it. A few days later there was a nice mound of mulch in my driveway. Great service - just as promised.

One cubic yard of sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, so a typical patio joint fill or bedding job of 300 to 600 square feet usually runs 1 to 2 cubic yards depending on your target depth. Since install depth for this material is only 1 to 2 inches, most residential jobs do not need more than a yard or two. Measure your actual square footage before ordering so you are not stuck moving leftover sand off the driveway.

Sand pairs naturally with paver base gravel underneath and paver joint sweep on top, and many Topeka jobs also need edge restraint to keep everything from creeping in clay soil. If you are mixing mortar for capitol district stone repair work, you will also want cement and a mixing surface on site before delivery.
If you are bedding pavers in Topeka's clay, do not skip the compaction step just because sand feels stable underfoot. Clay subgrades shift more than sandy loam through freeze thaw cycles, and an uncompacted sand layer will telegraph every bit of that movement up into your pavers by the second winter. Compact in lifts, wet the sand slightly, and check for level before you set the first paver.
A common mistake is confusing this washed sand with all purpose fill sand from a big box store. This material is finer and more uniform, which is exactly why it works for mortar and joint fill but it is not meant for bulk grading or drainage layers. Using the wrong sand for the job usually shows up later as cracked mortar or joints that wash out after a heavy rain.
For paver bedding specifically, more contractors are moving to clean chip stone instead of sand because it does not pump up through the joints under traffic and pressure washing. If your project is strictly mortar mixing or pool base work, sand is still the right call, but ask about chip stone if you are building a paver patio that will see regular foot traffic.
Topeka sits on heavy clay, which is fine for lawns but terrible for anything that needs to drain or stay level, like a paver patio or a mortar bed for capitol area stonework. Sand gives you a workable, uniform layer that clay just cannot provide on its own. With zone 6b freeze thaw cycles between the October and April frost dates, a sand base under pavers needs to be properly compacted or it will shift come spring. Most of our sand orders here go toward mortar mixing and paver joints rather than broad landscape coverage.
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.
