Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hawaii address and unloads right where you point.
Sand is sold by the ton, and most residential projects fall between 1 and 10 tons. A small paver patio needs about 2 to 3 tons for the base. A backyard sandbox might take 1 ton. Gravel Monkey delivers sand across Hawaii by the ton, from 1 ton up to 40 tons or more per load.
Ordering online gets you a delivered price based on your ZIP code. There is no yard to visit and no minimum pickup size. The sand arrives in a dump truck at the address you choose.
Sand comes in several grades, each suited to a different task. The table below lists the options we supply statewide.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Washed and screened; a fine, consistent grain. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Low clay content for good compaction and drainage. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Cleaned and free of sharp particles for safety. |
Each job has a problem that sand solves. The table below matches a common need with the product and depth guidance.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches below pipe for even support. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 6 to 12 inches depth for safe fall zones. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch screeded to level before pavers. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches for cushion and drainage. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Batched with cement; no larger than 3/8 inch. |
Rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Hawaii runs from about 21 to 155 inches a year. That wide range means drainage needs vary sharply from one job to the next. The number of freezing days in Hawaii is about 0 to 0 days a year below 32 degrees F, so frost heave is not a concern for sand installations. The most common soil hydrologic groups are B and C, which have moderate to slow infiltration. A sand base on group C soil may need a thicker layer for proper drainage. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
