How Much Sand Do I Need?
One cubic yard of this sand covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, and mason sand is typically installed at 1 to 2 inches depending on the job. For paver joints or thin bedding layers, figure closer to the 1 inch coverage number, for mortar mixing or pool base prep, order based on your project's specific depth requirement and round up rather than short yourself mid job.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most jobs using mason sand around here also need pavers or natural stone, plus a base layer of crushed stone or gravel underneath for drainage through that clay loam. If you are mixing mortar for brick work reminiscent of Old Salem's older buildings, you will also want cement and lime on hand before the sand arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Mason sand's edge over generic sand is uniformity, mortar wants a consistent grain so it doesn't clump or bleed water unevenly once troweled. If you're mixing mortar for brick repair on an older Winston-Salem property, sift out any debris before mixing and keep the sand dry until use, clay loam sites nearby can track extra silt into a stockpile if it's left uncovered during a rain event.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
A common mistake locally is using mason sand as paver bedding sand. It's being phased out for that use because it can pump up through joints under freeze thaw cycles and traffic. If pavers are the goal, use mason sand for the joint fill only and a coarser bedding sand or chip stone underneath for the structural layer.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
If you're doing both mortar work and paver joints on the same project, order mason sand as one delivery sized for both uses rather than two smaller runs, since the material is identical for each application. Pair it with crushed stone for the base layer, that combination handles this region's clay loam drainage better than sand alone under a patio.
Working With Sand in Winston-Salem
Winston-Salem sits on clay loam that drains slowly and holds water, which is part of why builders here lean on mason sand for paver joints and mortar rather than trying to fight native soil directly. Old Salem's brick and stone work is a good reminder of how long masonry lasts here when the sand and mortar mix is right. With a growing season that runs roughly last frost in mid April to first frost near the end of October, most hardscape and masonry projects get scheduled in that spring through fall window. This sand does not do much for planting beds, it is a construction material, so plan its use around patios, walkways, and pool decks rather than soil amendment.
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.
