About this sand

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

I have ordered twice now, a pleasure to deal with, easy and fast delivery, beautiful mulch!

At a 1 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 324 square feet, so a typical 200 square foot patio base or paver joint fill job usually needs well under a full yard. For mortar mixing, order based on your mix ratio rather than square footage, most masons figure yardage off the number of mortar batches a job needs. Since it is sold by the cubic yard, round up slightly rather than run short mid pour.

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.

Most paver jobs pair this sand with a base layer of crushed stone underneath and polymeric jointing sand on top for the final fill. If you are mixing mortar, you will also want your cement and lime on hand before the load arrives so you are not delaying a batch. Pool base installs usually run this sand directly over compacted gravel.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this sand is finer and more uniform than concrete sand, it makes mortar noticeably more workable, but that same fineness means it compacts differently under pavers. If you are doing a patio in sandy loam soil like most of Wyoming has, consider chip stone instead of sand for the bedding layer, since chip stone locks in place and will not pump up through joints the way sand can over a few freeze-thaw cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

A common mistake here is ordering mortar sand in late fall thinking it will keep until spring. Moisture in stored sand can freeze into clumps once temperatures drop past the Oct 12 average first frost, making it harder to screen and mix cleanly. If you are not using it within a few weeks, tarp the pile tightly and keep it off bare ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project needs both bedding material and jointing sand, it is often more efficient to order this material for the mortar or pool base portion and a separate chip stone load for paver bedding in the same delivery window. That avoids paying for two separate truck trips and lets you stage both piles before you start laying pavers.

Working With Sand in Wyoming

Wyoming sits on sandy loam already, so this material is not fighting your native soil the way it does in clay-heavy towns. That makes it a natural fit for drainage-focused work like pool bases and paver bedding where you want water to move through, not pool up. With a last frost around May 7 and first frost near Oct 12, most hardscape jobs here run a solid six months before ground freeze becomes a factor. People here tend to use it for mortar batches on masonry repairs as much as new paver patios.

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 this the same as mason sand?

Yes, this is the same washed, finely screened sand that is called mason sand in some regions. It is graded finer and more uniformly than concrete sand, which is exactly what makes it workable for mortar mixing, paver joint fill, and pool base applications.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a paver patio joint fill?

One cubic yard covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, but joint fill uses far less than a full inch across your whole patio since it only fills the gaps between pavers. Most patios under 500 square feet need well under half a yard for joints alone.

Answer

What time of year should I schedule a sand delivery for hardscaping?

Hardscape season in Wyoming runs spring through fall, roughly May through October between the last and first frost dates. Ordering in that window means the ground is workable and you are not fighting frozen subgrade, though mortar work can happen indoors or under cover later in the season if needed.

Answer

Where will the truck place my sand delivery?

You choose the drop location when you schedule delivery at checkout, and our driver places the load as close to that spot as the truck can safely reach. A driveway or flat area near your work zone works best, just make sure there is clear access for a full size delivery vehicle.

Answer

Should I use this sand or chip stone under my pavers?

For paver bedding specifically, many installers now prefer chip stone over sand because it locks together and resists pumping up through joints over time, especially with our region's freeze-thaw cycles. This sand is still the better choice for mortar mixing and pool base work where its fine, uniform texture matters more than joint stability.
