Sand Products for Florida Projects

Choosing the right sand depends on your project. Mason sand works for mortar and paver joints, while washed sand is better for concrete and clean fill. Playground sand is specifically for play areas. Compare the options below.

Florida Climate and Soil Conditions for Sand Delivery

Florida's climate varies across the state. Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from 52 to 65 inches, with the heaviest rain in the summer. The ground freezes fewer than 23 days a year, and in many parts the freeze days number zero. That means frost heave is not a concern for sand installations.

Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. The dominant soil groups in Florida's served areas are hydrologic groups A and A/D. These soils drain well, so standard base depths for sand works are usually sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sand in Florida

What conditions across Florida should change what I order?

Florida's annual rainfall of 52 to 65 inches means good drainage is important. In areas with clay soils, a thicker base may be needed. The negligible frost risk lets you install sand projects with standard depths.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Florida affect delivery?

Florida's minimal freezing weather, with 0 to 23 days below 32F, means that frost-related road bans are uncommon. Other seasonal restrictions, such as those for construction, are handled by our haulers during scheduling.

What sizes of sand are available?

Sand is available in different grades depending on the product. Mason sand is fine, washed sand is coarser, and playground sand is screened for safety. The exact size varies by the local quarry that supplies it.
