For an above-ground pool, mason sand is the standard. Its fine, uniform texture forms a smooth cushion under the liner. A 2-inch compacted bed is most common. For a paver pool deck, the base is compacted aggregate (crushed concrete fines or limerock screenings), then a 1-inch mason sand setting bed leveled before pavers go down.

For the setting bed: a 1-inch layer of mason sand covers about 200 sq ft per ton. A 400 sq ft patio needs roughly 2-2.5 tons of mason sand for the setting bed, plus a separate compacted base of crushed concrete fines or limerock below it. Always add a 20% buffer for screed waste and edge coverage. Use our calculator to size your full base and setting bed in one estimate.

Use mason sand for the setting bed under pavers, a 1-inch screeded layer over a compacted base. For the joints between pavers, use polymeric sand, which hardens with water to lock joints and resist weeds. The base layer below the sand setting bed should be compacted crushed stone or recycled concrete fines, sand alone is not a base.

Florida drain fields require septic sand that meets FDEP/DOH gradation spec, a clean, washed, well-graded coarse sand with specific limits on fines. This is not mason sand, not concrete sand, and not fill sand. If you're permitting a system, your engineer or installer will specify the gradation. Confirm the spec before ordering, the wrong sand will fail inspection and have to be dug out.

Mason sand works well as a leveling layer below artificial turf. For the base, most installers use a compacted layer of crushed concrete fines or limerock screenings (3-4 inches) topped with about 1 inch of mason sand for the final level surface before turf goes down. Drainage matters in Florida, confirm your base drains well before turf goes down, since standing water under turf becomes a maintenance issue quickly.

Use our materials calculator on this page for an accurate instant answer. As a quick reference: 1 ton covers approximately 200 sq ft at 1 inch depth, 100 sq ft at 2 inches depth, or 50 sq ft at 4 inches depth. Always add 10-20% for compaction and waste.

Mason sand is a fine, washed sand screened to remove rocks and debris, with very little clay or silt mixed in, which makes it smooth, consistent, and easy to work with. It's the go-to sand for mortar mixes, paver bedding, stucco work, and pool surrounds. Sold by the ton and delivered across Florida by dump truck. As a rule of thumb, one ton spreads about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

Yes, mason sand and masonry sand are the same product, just shortened differently. It got the name because masons traditionally mix it with cement and lime to make mortar for brick and block walls. The same product also works well for paver bedding, stucco, and around pools. On soils.com, the mason sand we deliver is washed, screened, and low in clay and silt.

Use our calculator on this page for an accurate instant answer. If you'd like to run the math yourself: length (ft) x width (ft) x depth (inches) divided by 12 = cubic feet. Divide by 27 for cubic yards, then multiply by 1.2 for tons of mason sand. Quick reference: 1 ton covers about 100 sq ft at 2 inches, 200 sq ft at 1 inch, or 50 sq ft at 4 inches. Add 5-10% for compaction and waste.
