Common questions.
What is mason sand used for?
Mainly as the sand in mortar for brick, block and stone work. It is also used where a project specifically calls for a fine sand layer.
Is mason sand the same as play sand?
Not necessarily. For sandboxes, play areas or other specialty uses, check what the product or manufacturer requires rather than going by appearance.
Can I use mason sand between pavers?
Check the paver system’s instructions first. Bedding sand and joint sand have different requirements, and polymeric sand is a separate product.
How much mason sand do I need?
For mortar, follow the mix ratio for your product. For a sand layer, measure the area and depth and use the calculator.
