Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Indiana address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered cost of sand is driven by the tonnage you need and where in Indiana it is going. Trucking from the source to your address makes up the largest part of the price. Checking your ZIP at checkout is the only way to see your final delivered cost.
Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton to residential and commercial sites across Indiana. You pick a delivery date at least 3 business days out and choose a morning or afternoon window. Every order is confirmed with a photo of the load before the truck leaves.
Not every sand works for every job. The table below lists what each product is not suitable for, so you can pick the right one.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Not for children's play areas because it can be dusty when dry. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Not for tamped paver bases because it does not lock as firmly as other sands. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not for mortar or masonry because it lacks the fine grading needed for binding. |
Choose the sand type based on the surface or structure you are building. The guide below matches common projects to the right product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 12 to 18 inches for safe digging |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Screened fine for thin joints |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch after compaction |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches, compacted flat |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches under the pipe |
Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to in Indiana runs from 40 to 49 inches. Higher precipitation means sand layers need proper base drainage to avoid washout. The number of freezing days ranges from 98 to 133 per year, depending on location, so frost heave is a real risk in northern Indiana.
Most soils in the served cities fall into hydrologic groups C/D and B, which drain slowly to moderately. That drives base depth guidance: a thicker first lift of sand helps protect against both washout and frost. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Indiana also imposes seasonal load restrictions on many roads during spring thaw. These limitations can affect delivery timing in some areas, so we plan around them with your hauler.

Estimating tonnage starts with the square footage and the depth you plan to fill. Sand is heavy, so a small lift can weigh several tons. Use our sand calculator to convert cubic feet or yards into tons based on your Indiana delivery address.
Sand is bulky and heavy, so ordering by the truckload saves both time and money. You order online by the ton, see the delivered price for your ZIP at checkout, and receive the load in a dump truck to your driveway or job site.

Yes. Indiana places seasonal weight limits on many roads during the spring thaw, which can slow or restrict truck access in some areas. We work with haulers who know the local routes and will keep you informed if a restriction affects your schedule.
The rainfall range of 40 to 49 inches across the served cities means sand can wash out if the base is too shallow. The freeze-thaw cycles, especially in northern Indiana where there are up to 133 freezing days a year, call for a deeper first lift to prevent frost heave.
