At one inch deep, a cubic yard of this sand covers roughly 324 square feet, so a small paver patio or a mortar mixing job for a mason often only needs a fraction of a yard. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, figure your square footage first, then divide by the coverage rate at your target depth, usually one to two inches for joint fill or bedding work.

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!
Most jobs pairing this sand also need paver base gravel or clean chip stone underneath it, especially now that chip stone has replaced sand as the preferred bedding layer for patios and walkways. If you are mixing mortar on site, you will also want portland cement on hand. For pool installations, a layer of crushed stone below the sand helps with drainage given how heavy our clay subsoil holds water.
Service area
Because Wichita's clay subsoil holds water, any sand you use as bedding under a patio or walkway needs a compacted gravel base beneath it, not just soil. Skipping that step is the number one reason DIY paver jobs settle unevenly within a year or two. If you're mixing mortar instead, keep the sand dry until use, damp sand throws off your ratios and weakens the mix.
A common mistake here is ordering sand for paver bedding when clean chip stone would actually perform better. Sand pumps moisture up through joints over time, especially with our clay soil holding groundwater close to the surface after spring rains. If your project is a patio or walkway base rather than mortar or joint fill, ask about chip stone instead, it locks in place and will not migrate.
If you're doing a pool installation and a small hardscape project the same season, order both loads together to spread out delivery costs. Sand for pool bases and sand for mortar work often come from the same washed batch, so there is no reason to schedule two separate trips if your timeline allows a single larger delivery instead.
Wichita sits on clay soil, and clay does not drain the way sand does, which matters when you are setting pavers or laying a base near the foundation. Hardscape crews here use this sand mostly for joint filling and mortar work rather than as a bedding layer, since clean chip stone has largely taken over for paver bases because it will not pump moisture up through the joints the way sand can. With our freeze thaw cycle running from mid October through early April, any sand used near a patio or walkway should be compacted and drained well before that first frost hits, or you will see heaving by spring.
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.
