Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Hazen address and unloads right where you point.
In Hazen, the outdoor work season runs from late spring to early fall, when the ground is not frozen solid. With about 18 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout are real concerns from the start.
Buying sand is about getting the right material delivered when you need it. Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton, prices delivery by ZIP at checkout, and drops the load where you mark it.
For most homeowners and contractors in Hazen, Mason Sand is the go-to choice for mortar and paver joints. If your project needs a coarser material, two other options cover the rest.
| Product | Use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, screened sand that compacts well under pavers. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Rinsed to remove fines, good for mixing with cement. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Soft texture free of sharp edges and harmful debris. |
Every project calls for a specific depth and product. The table below matches common jobs to the recommended sand type and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Depth depends on joint width; typically 3/8 to 1/2 inch |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 to 1.5 inches |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 8 to 12 inches |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches |
Hazen sees about 191 days a year below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, meaning the ground stays frozen for long stretches. That freeze-thaw cycle pushes and pulls the earth, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. Ground that freezes deep moves as it thaws, which is why the base layer matters more here than the top layer. A stable sand base resists heaving when everything thaws.
Snowfall of about 43 inches each year can cause plowing damage to a loose surface, so compacting the sand layer is important. Soils mapped in the Hazen area are commonly moderately well drained, which means more or less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around Hazen takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface, so a deeper drainage layer earns its place.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you need. Use the sand calculator to get a precise estimate for your project. The calculator asks for length, width and depth and returns the tons required.

Many projects need more than just sand. These materials are often ordered in the same delivery to save trips.
Yes. Hazen gets about 42 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so washout is a real risk for loose sand. Using washed sand or adding a drainage layer helps keep the material in place during heavy rains.
Winter conditions can affect delivery access. The ground here freezes deep and stays frozen for months, which normally gives the truck a solid surface. Snow accumulation may limit where the driver can safely unload. You choose a delivery window at checkout, and the crew works within that timeframe.
Yes. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. If nobody is present, a missed delivery or redelivery fee can apply, and the order is not refunded.
You pick a delivery window at checkout: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). You receive an email confirmation when the order is placed, 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.
