Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Denver address and unloads right where you point.
Order sand by the ton online and Gravel Monkey sends a dump truck to your Denver address. You mark the drop spot and the driver unloads where you point.
Denver gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so planning for drainage and washout helps keep your project in place after rain.
Sand splits into two groups: fine material for finish work and washed aggregates for structural jobs. The table below lists what we deliver.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, fine grain that compacts well under paving stones. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed free of silt for consistent strength in mixes. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Screen washed for safety and free of sharp debris. |
The table below matches typical jobs to the right sand. For budget and long-term value, choose a washed product for structural use and mason sand for finish work.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Use clean, angular sand for stable support around pipes. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Fine texture gives good workability for brick and block. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Spread 1 to 2 inches, screed flat before laying pavers. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Fill to desired depth; washed profile keeps dust down. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Sweep clean to avoid staining liner; target 2 inches. |
Denver sees about 73 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground after a dry spell keeps the truck from sinking or rutting your yard.
Snowfall averages around 4 inches annually. Plowing that snow can disturb a loose sand surface, so wait for a thaw or plan to re-grade after winter storms. About 76 days drop below freezing, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor, so the base layer under the sand does not need extra depth to counter frost heave.
Soils mapped in the Denver area are commonly well drained. That means less base stone is needed below the sand for many projects. The ground around Denver takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Order online by the ton and delivery is priced by ZIP at checkout. We deliver in a dump truck carrying 1 to 40-plus tons per load. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
The delivery date you choose must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You pick a morning window (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). A valid phone number is required to confirm the delivery. We send an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as safely possible. Cancellations more than 24 hours after the order carry a 25 percent processing fee, and orders cancelled within 48 hours of the scheduled delivery are not refundable. Once you approve the second email, the order cannot be cancelled or refunded.

Yes. Denver gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year. That much rain means you should plan for drainage, especially under sand used for pathways or patios. Choosing washed sand or adding a crushed stone base helps water move through instead of pooling.
About 76 days a year drop below freezing, but ground freezing is not a significant factor in the area. The sand you order does not need extra base depth to counter frost heave. Standard construction depths work fine.
