Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Amory address and unloads right where you point.
Whether you are pointing a brick wall or building a paver patio, the sand you choose matters. Mason Sand gives you a fine, clean grade for mortar and joints, while Washed Sand works for concrete and clean fill. Amory gets about 59 inches of rain a year, so drainage planning is part of any project that uses sand as a base.
You order by the ton and the truck comes to your address. Gravel Monkey delivers to Amory from a network of regional suppliers, so the sand you get is matched to what is available in this part of Mississippi.
Sand splits into two groups: fine material for final surfaces and washed material for structural work. Mason Sand and Playground Sand are the finer options; Washed Sand is the go-to for concrete and fill. Each product is sold by the ton and delivered in a dump truck.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, screened to a fine grade for smooth work. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove dust and silt for better bonding. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Soft texture, free of sharp particles and debris. |
The table below matches common projects to the sand that works best. For a budget option use the cheaper product; for a long-term installation spend a little more on the right grade.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | 3/8 to 1/2 inch in the mortar bed. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch compacted under pavers. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches around the pipe. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches smoothed and compacted. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 6 to 12 inches depth for play. |
About 60 days a year drop below freezing in Amory. That freeze-thaw cycle can shift an un-compacted sand base, so getting the material well tamped before winter matters. The ground freezes enough to move things, but not deep enough to force an extra-thick base layer by itself.
Soils mapped in the Amory area are commonly somewhat poorly drained. That means you may need a deeper layer of base stone under a sand surface to keep water from pooling under the sand. The ground around Amory is in dual hydrologic group C/D: where the site is drained it takes water in slowly, and where it is not drained it takes water in very slowly. Either way, more of the rain runs across the surface rather than soaking in. The practical result is that drainage and a thicker base matter more here than in other places. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
Amory gets about 79 wet days a year, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is a smart move. The truck needs a firm, dry area to dump, and you want a stable surface to spread the sand.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth of the layer. Use our sand calculator to enter your project dimensions and get an estimate in tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and waste, so it gives you a reliable starting point before you order.

Sand often needs other materials for a complete job. The following products are available for delivery to Amory alongside your sand order.
The delivered price depends on the tonnage you order and your specific ZIP code in Amory. You get the total at checkout before you pay. Monroe County permitted about 18 single-family homes in 2024, which shows steady local demand for sand for new construction, so pricing reflects that activity.
Yes, Gravel Monkey delivers sand to Amory and the surrounding towns. Amory has about 6,412 residents, and we cover the area from our supplier network. The truck arrives at your address with the sand you ordered.
Depth depends on the use. For a paver base 1 inch of compacted sand is typical, for a sandbox 6 to 12 inches works, and for pipe bedding 4 to 6 inches is common. The product pages for each sand give recommended depths for standard projects.
Mason Sand is a fine, clean sand with particles that pass through a 3/8-inch screen. Washed Sand is slightly coarser and is washed to remove dust. Playground Sand is similar in size to Mason Sand but is double-washed for softness and safety. Each serves a different part of the job.
