Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Monroe address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price for sand in Monroe depends on your address and the tonnage you order. Instead of a fixed price, you get a quote tailored to your project at checkout.
Monroe receives about 51 inches of precipitation a year, which means drainage planning matters for how your sand performs over time. Ordering by the ton lets you pay only for what you need.
Each sand we carry works well for some jobs and less well for others. The table below explains what each product is best for and where it may fall short.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Not ideal for play areas because fine particles can become dusty. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Not suitable under pavers because it lacks the fines needed for compaction. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not recommended for masonry because the rounded grains reduce mortar strength. |
Matching the right sand to your project ensures a stable, long-lasting result. The table below shows typical applications and the recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches deep |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mixed with cement |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 12 to 18 inches deep |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 6 inches under pipe |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch compacted |
Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts. Monroe gets about 51 inches of rain a year, so planning for water movement is critical to prevent erosion.
About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, which means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground can save you trouble. With roughly 59 days a year below freezing, the work window is limited in winter, and ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles is less of a concern.
Soils mapped in the Monroe area are commonly well drained, so you may need less base stone under the sand. The ground around Monroe takes water in at a moderate rate, meaning a standard base depth is usually enough for most projects.
To estimate how many tons of sand you need, measure the area and decide the depth. A depth of 2 inches covers about 100 square feet per ton. Use our sand calculator to get an accurate tonnage for your specific dimensions.

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. You will receive 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 proceeds once you approve that second email. You agree to be available during the window, or to have someone you nominate at the site. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can.

Sand often works alongside other materials to complete a project. Consider these options.
The total delivered cost depends on the quantity ordered and your address's delivery zone. You can see the exact price at checkout. Because Monroe gets about 51 inches of rain a year, some customers factor in drainage preparation, but the sand itself is priced per ton.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth you plan to cover. For example, a 100-square-foot area at 2 inches deep needs about 1 ton. Because soils in the Monroe area are well drained, a standard depth is usually sufficient, and you can get a precise estimate from our sand calculator.
Use edging materials such as landscape timbers or metal edging to contain the sand. Make sure the edging is firmly anchored to prevent movement over time. A proper edge keeps the sand in place and reduces maintenance.
We stock Mason Sand, Washed Sand, and Playground Sand. Mason Sand is fine and used for mortar and paver joints. Washed Sand is coarser and used for concrete. Playground Sand is clean and screened specifically for play areas and sandboxes.
