Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Arkansas address and unloads right where you point.
Sand comes in different grades, and choosing the right one changes how it compacts and drains. Gravel Monkey delivers sand across Arkansas by the ton, direct to the address you give us.
The grain size and cleanliness affect whether the sand works as a base, a leveling course, or a clean fill. We stock three types of sand, each suited to specific projects. Delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout, and loads range from 1 to 40-plus tons.
For concrete work and clean fill, washed sand is the most common choice. But the other two types serve specific jobs where grain shape and cleanliness matter more.
| Product | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Fine, screened grains that flow into joints and make a smooth bed. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Clean, coarse sand that compacts well and leaves minimal silt. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Soft, washed sand that meets safety standards for play. |
Different projects need different sand types and application methods. Use the table to match your job to the right product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Binds with cement for strong joints. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Provides a level base for pavers, typically 1 inch after compaction. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Compacts around pipes to prevent settling. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Smooths the pool floor before liner or concrete. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Soft and clean, depth of 4 to 6 inches recommended. |
In Arkansas, annual precipitation across the cities we serve runs from about 49 to 55 inches. That much rain means drainage under hardscapes matters. Sand that compacts well and drains properly reduces frost heave risk.
The number of freezing days varies from about 50 to 92 days below 32F. Most of the state falls in a moderate frost band, and soil groups D and C are common. These soils drain slowly, so a deeper sand base helps prevent settling and water pooling during wet periods.
Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.

Sand is sold by the ton, so you need to know the volume you have to fill. A cubic yard of sand weighs roughly a ton and a half. Measure the length and width of the area, multiply by the depth in feet, then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. For a quick estimate, use our sand calculator. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives you a tonnage figure to enter at checkout.
