Yards and tons for bedding, paver base, septic, and fill sand. One inch of bedding sand is standard under pavers.
Pro habit: Order about 0.7 yd³; screeding and washout always eat more than the math says.
Wet sand weighs noticeably more than dry, which matters for what a truck can legally carry, not just what you pay. Weights are common industry approximations; confirm with your supplier before ordering.

Multiply length by width by depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. This sand calculator does it for you: enter length and width in feet and depth in inches, and it returns cubic yards, estimated tons, and truckloads. Add about 10 percent for compaction, spillage, and uneven grade.
Sand runs roughly 1.30 tons per cubic yard as a common industry approximation (Concrete sand (dry) at about 2,600 lb/yd³). Moisture and material change this, so confirm the exact conversion with your supplier.
