How to install Mason Sand
-
1
Excavate to depth
For pavers, dig 4-6" below finished grade; for masonry, just enough for joints.
-
2
Screed for paver base
1" of bedding sand, screeded level, is the gold standard under interlocking pavers.
-
3
Don't over-compact
Sand bedding is loose by design; compacting eliminates the leveling cushion.
-
4
Sweep joint sand last
Polymeric joint sand locks pavers; sweep dry, then mist to activate.
