Sand Products Available in New Hampshire

Each sand type serves a different purpose, and the wrong choice can cause washout, shifting, or poor compaction. Here is what each product suits and what it does not.

Which Sand to Use for Common Jobs in New Hampshire

Matching the sand to the project stops settling and washout. The table below shows depths and products for five frequent uses.

How New Hampshire's Climate Affects Your Sand Order

Annual precipitation across the cities Gravel Monkey delivers to in New Hampshire runs from about 42 to 51 inches. That much rain means drainage matters: a base that holds water can freeze and heave, cracking patios or walkways. Choosing washed sand for anything that sits below grade helps water pass through.

The state sees roughly 150 to 178 freezing days each year. Most of New Hampshire sits in the severe band for ground freezing, so frost can push down a foot or more. Sand that is clean and well-graded resists frost heave better than material with fines. Hard freezes shape the calendar here, so base work is easier to get right from late spring through fall.

The dominant soil hydrologic groups across the served cities are C and A. Group C soils drain slowly, so a thicker sand base is often needed to keep water away from structures. Gravel Monkey can help you estimate the right depth for your site.

Figuring Out How Much Sand You Need

Sand is sold by the ton, and the tonnage you need depends on the area and the depth you plan to place. To estimate your order, measure the length and width in feet, decide the depth in inches, and use the sand calculator on the Gravel Monkey site. It converts square footage and depth into tons, so you order the right amount the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions across New Hampshire should change what I order?

Annual precipitation across the cities we deliver to runs from about 42 to 51 inches, so drainage matters. Choose washed sand for anything below grade to let water pass through. The state has 150 to 178 freezing days a year, and most of New Hampshire is in the severe frost band; clean, well-graded sand resists frost heave better than material with fines.

Do seasonal road restrictions in New Hampshire affect delivery?

Yes. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation runs a spring load-restriction program. During that period, some roads have reduced weight limits, which can affect delivery access. Gravel Monkey works around those restrictions to get the truck to your address when the order is placed.

What sizes of sand are available?

Gravel Monkey offers three sand types: Mason Sand, Washed Sand, and Playground Sand. All are fine-grained but differ in cleanliness and screening. Mason Sand is the finest and best for mortar; Washed Sand is free of fines for concrete; Playground Sand is screened to remove debris for safe play areas.

Is there a first-order discount?

Yes. Use the code FIRSTTIMER50 on your first order to get $50 off. The code applies at checkout when you order sand by the ton online.
