Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Larose address and unloads right where you point.
Larose gets about 66 inches of precipitation each year, so drainage and washout planning are essential when you lay sand for a patio or a play area. Mason Sand works well for fine-leveling a paver surface, while Washed Sand holds up better for concrete and clean-fill jobs.
Whether you are building a new foundation, topping a sandbox, or bedding pipe, ordering by the ton from Gravel Monkey means the load comes straight to your address.
For base and utility work, Washed Sand is a solid choice, while Mason Sand is the finer option for finished surfaces. Playground Sand rounds out the selection for kid-friendly areas.
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Screened to a fine grade for smooth finishes and tight joints. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove silt; works under slabs and in utility trenches. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Clean, double-screened sand that meets common safety guidelines. |
When you budget for a project, the sand you pick affects both the upfront cost and how long the surface lasts. Below are five typical uses with a recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Fill around pipes uniformly; tamp in lifts. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Screed 1 to 1.5 inches for a level base. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix with cement; no large particles allowed. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Fill 6 to 12 inches deep depending on the play set. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Spread 1 to 2 inches, then compact and wet. |
Larose sees about 11 freezing days each year, and those freeze cycles can shift an unstable base. Using a well-drained sand layer helps reduce frost heave. Soils mapped in the Larose area are commonly poorly drained, so you may need extra base stone under surface sand in low spots.
The ground around Larose takes water in very slowly, meaning most rain runs across the surface instead of soaking in. That makes drainage planning and a deeper base more important here than in other areas. With about 81 wet days annually, schedule your delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting.
Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point. A stable base underneath the sand can prevent washout during heavy rains.
Estimating the right tonnage starts with measuring the area and deciding the depth. Use our sand calculator to convert length, width, and depth into tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and gives you a starting point for your order.
Gravel Monkey works as a nationwide aggregate broker. You order online by the ton, and a dump truck delivers the material to your address in Larose. The delivery date is chosen at checkout and must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a window: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm.

Someone must be present during the window to accept the load. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Yes. Larose receives about 66 inches of precipitation each year, so washout is a real concern for uncovered sand piles or unfinished surfaces. Plan to cover stockpiles and install drainage before heavy use.
Delivery cost depends on the tonnage you order and your delivery ZIP code. You see the exact price at checkout before you confirm. Lafourche Parish permitted about 315 single-family homes in 2024, many of which needed sand deliveries, but rates are set per address.
The driver will dump the sand where you direct them, as close to the requested spot as access allows. The site must have a road width of at least 12 feet. If the spot is blocked or unsafe, the crew unloads as near as they can.
The price is based on the total tonnage of sand and your delivery address. After you enter your ZIP code at checkout, the system shows the delivered price including any applicable discounts. No hidden fees appear after that point.
