Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Arizona address and unloads right where you point.
Sand is a basic building material, and Gravel Monkey delivers it across Arizona by the ton. You order online, pick a delivery window, and a dump truck brings the load to your address. No yard visits, no minimum haggling, just sand at a delivered price calculated from your ZIP code.
Orders start at 1 ton and go past 40 tons. Use the sand calculator to figure your tonnage, then check out with a delivery date at least 3 business days out.
Each sand type has a specific use and a specific warning. Pick the one that matches your job, not the one you have left over from a different project. A wrong sand can ruin a concrete mix or a paver base.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Not for concrete or structural fill; too fine for load-bearing layers. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Not for playgrounds or sandboxes; it contains sharp grains. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not for masonry or concrete; it lacks the right gradation for bonding. |
Match your project to the correct sand type for a base that lasts. The table below gives the recommended sand and a typical depth for five common jobs.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches under and around the pipe |
| Pool base | Mason Sand | 2 to 3 inches, compacted flat |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 8 to 12 inches for diggable depth |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 to 1.5 inches, screeded level |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix with cement; no depth guidance |
Annual precipitation across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in Arizona runs from about 6 to 22 inches. The freezing cycle ranges from 4 to 163 days a year below 32F, depending on elevation. An unstable sand base under a paver or slab can shift during freeze-thaw, so a well-compacted, properly graded sand matters more in higher-freeze zones.
Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, meaning deep frost is not a concern at lower elevations. The dominant hydrologic groups across the served cities are C and D, which drain slowly. That makes a sand base with good drainage more important to avoid water pooling under structures. Base depth guidance follows from those soil types: a thicker layer of washed sand or a compacted sand subbase is often needed on slow-draining ground.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Sand is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and depth. A cubic yard of dry sand weighs roughly 1.25 to 1.5 tons. Use our sand calculator to convert your project dimensions into tons. Enter the length, width and depth, and it gives you the tonnage. Then order that amount at checkout and we deliver it to your address.
Sand in Arizona arrives by dump truck directly to your job site. You order online by the ton, and the delivery price is calculated from your ZIP at checkout. Orders go from 1 to 40+ tons per load.

You pick a delivery window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. A valid phone number is required. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window. The access road needs to be at least 12 feet wide. If the truck cannot reach the spot, the crew unloads as close as they safely can.
