About this sand

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

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!

One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and most mortar or paver joint work only calls for 1 to 2 inches. For a typical patio joint fill or a small mortar batch job, a half yard to one yard usually covers it, but for pool deck bases or larger paver installs, measure your square footage first and work back from the 324 square foot figure.

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 jobs pairing this sand also need paver base or crushed stone underneath for structural support, since sand alone will not carry the load in Wichita Falls' clay loam. If you are mixing mortar, you will also want your masonry cement on site before delivery. Some crews are now using clean chip stone instead of sand for paver joints since it will not pump out over time, worth asking about if that is your project.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Wichita Falls clay loam does not accept water easily, mason sand used as a bedding layer under pavers can trap moisture instead of draining it. If you are setting a patio or walkway, consider a compacted paver base course first and use the sand only as a thin joint fill on top, not as the structural layer. This keeps water from pooling under the pavers during the region's occasional heavy spring rains.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake is ordering mason sand for pool deck bases when what is actually needed is a coarser bedding material that will not shift under foot traffic. Mason sand is fine and uniform, which makes it excellent for mortar but too soft on its own for a walked surface. Confirm your project use before ordering so the material matches the job.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project involves both mortar work and paver joints, order the full amount in one delivery rather than two smaller runs, since mason sand settles and compacts differently once it has sat exposed to Wichita Falls heat and wind for a few days. One yard delivered fresh mixes more consistently than sand split across separate loads and weather exposures.

Working With Sand in Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls sits on clay loam, which holds water and does not drain the way sandy soil does, so this mason sand is mostly used for building rather than soil amendment here. Homeowners near Lucy Park and across the older neighborhoods use it for mortar mixing on stone and brick work, and for setting pavers around pools and patios. With the region's hot, dry summers running spring through fall, most hardscape crews are pouring mortar and setting joints in that same window, so timing your delivery ahead of a build matters. It is not a substitute for topsoil or drainage sand in this clay heavy ground.

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 mason sand the same as regular sand from a hardware store bag?

No, this is washed and finely screened natural sand delivered in bulk, more uniform than bagged construction sand and suited for mortar mixing, paver joints, and pool bases. Bagged sand at retail is often coarser or inconsistent in grain size, which affects how mortar workability and joint packing perform on an actual job.

Answer

How much sand do I need for a paver patio joint fill in Wichita Falls?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and joint fill work typically only needs 1 to 2 inches, so measure your patio square footage and calculate from there. Most standard residential patios need well under a full yard for joint work alone.

Answer

When is the best time to schedule sand delivery for a hardscape project here?

Spring through fall is when most hardscape and paver work happens in this region, since the ground is workable and temperatures are manageable for mortar curing. Ordering a few days ahead of your build date, rather than the morning of, gives you flexibility if weather shifts your schedule.

Answer

Where will the sand be placed on delivery day?

The truck places the load at the driveway or staging area you specify during checkout, so choose a flat, clear spot with enough width for a standard delivery truck. Make sure the area is accessible and free of parked cars or obstacles before the scheduled date.

Answer

Should I use sand or chip stone for paver joints on my project?

Mason sand has traditionally been used for paver joints, but many installers are shifting to clean chip stone because it does not pump out from beneath pavers over time the way sand can. If your project sees regular foot traffic or drainage exposure, ask about chip stone as an alternative before finalizing your order.
