“Leveled the ground under an above ground pool at our place outside Grand Coteau with mason sand before setting it up for the summer. Louisiana Rock Supply got two tons out to us within the promised window, and my husband and I screeded it level with a straight board across the frame rails. Filled the pool the next day and it has stayed even all season with the grandkids jumping in and out of it.”

Once spread, Mason Sand settles into a smooth, even-working layer rather than a rough surface. Its washed texture works well for mortar, stucco, grouting, and paver work. It also gives sand boxes and volleyball courts a soft surface. Mortar mixed with it stays smooth and workable, helping it spread evenly for masonry tasks. It can also be used for stucco applications and grouting where a refined surface is wanted. The washed material offers a clean feel at the working surface. That matters where tidy detail work is the goal on site.
Louisiana sites often contend with gumbo clay and ground that stays wet. For pavers, prepare the supporting base for wet conditions before placing Mason Sand as a leveling bed beneath pavers. That keeps this finishing material separate from pad buildup and drainage work.

Common Uses
Masonry Mixes
For mortar, stucco, or grout, mason sand works as the fine aggregate. Its small, even particles help make a workable mix that applies smoothly and supports masonry joints.
Setting Pavers
Place mason sand under pavers to adjust the bed, and sweep it between interlocking units. The fine sand settles into joints and provides a level bedding layer.
Play Sand Uses
Mason sand is washed and has a soft texture for children's sandbox and play-area use. With abrasive pieces and debris removed, it is more comfortable on bare hands and feet.
Court Surfacing
Use mason sand for volleyball court surfacing where a soft, uniform layer is needed. It is comfortable for barefoot use and can reduce the force of impacts.
Why Choose Mason Sand
Smooth Fine Sand
Washing and fine grading give mason sand a smooth, even texture. It is useful for mortar and finish work that calls for a fine aggregate.
Clean Washed Material
Washing removes clay, silt, and organic debris from mason sand. The result is a clean material for mortar mixes and recreation surfaces.
Even Particle Grading
Mason sand is graded with uniform-sized particles for mortar, leveling beds, and recreation areas. That grading helps keep material behavior predictable across applications.
Recreation Surface
For sandboxes, playgrounds, and sports courts, mason sand offers a clean surface with a soft feel. It can be used where a gentle play surface is wanted.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mason Sand
Customer Reviews
Mortar mix came out smooth
Mixed mortar for a brick flower bed border at our house in Broussard using mason sand instead of the play sand I grabbed from the hardware store on the first attempt, which never set up right. One ton was more than enough for the whole project with plenty left over for touch up work later. Mixed clean, no clumps, and the mortar joints look sharp and even months after curing.

Good sand, a little damp on arrival
Ordered mason sand for paver joints on a small walkway at our place in Youngsville, one ton delivered in a covered load. Fine and consistent once it dried out, but it arrived damp enough that I had to spread it out on a tarp for a day before sweeping it into the joints. Once dry it worked exactly the way it should, and the joints have stayed tight through several good rains since.

Grandson's Sandbox Gets Refilled
Half a ton of mason sand filled my grandson's sandbox out back in Moreauville with plenty to spare. Soft and clean, no rocks or clumps, and he has spent every afternoon since digging in it.
