Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Richmond address and unloads right where you point.
Sand is a straightforward material, but choosing the right grade matters for the job. New Richmond gets about 46 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning should guide your selection.
Whether you need a fine base for pavers or clean fill for a concrete project, the right sand makes the difference. Gravel Monkey delivers by the ton straight to your address.
Each sand product has a specific use. None of them are good for structural backfill or as a base under heavy loads without a proper drainage layer. Below are the options you can order.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Not suitable for playgrounds because it packs hard and does not drain well. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Not ideal for sandboxes due to its coarser texture and dust content. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not meant for mortar mixes because it contains finer particles that weaken the bond. |
Think of the surface or application first, then pick the sand that fits. This table matches common jobs to the right product and gives a typical depth or note.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix with cement and lime; depth varies by joint. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Fill at least 6 to 8 inches deep for safe digging. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Spread 1 to 2 inches and screed flat. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Place 4 to 6 inches under pipe for even support. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Lay 2 to 3 inches and compact lightly. |
The ground around New Richmond takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. This means a deeper drainage layer earns its place when you are installing sand under pavers or a pool base. About 80 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground makes sense.
About 102 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The work window for outdoor projects is shorter, and the ground moves more during freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
Snowfall here runs about 16 inches a year. Plowing can damage a loose sand surface, so consider a compacted base layer if the area gets cleared regularly. Ground freezing is real but moderate; the base layer should be deep enough to stay stable under traffic.
You can figure out how many tons you need by measuring the length, width and depth of the area. Use the sand calculator to get a quick estimate. Enter your dimensions and the calculator tells you the tonnage.

For many projects, sand works best with other materials. These are the ones commonly ordered together.
Yes. About 80 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, and the soil in the area takes water in slowly. This means a deeper drainage layer under sand is a good idea for patios, driveways and pool bases.
Yes. About 102 days a year drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which causes the ground to move. A deeper sand layer helps resist frost heave and keeps surfaces level through winter.
