Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Yukon address and unloads right where you point.
The price you pay for sand boils down to what product you choose, how far the truck has to travel, and the size of the load. You order by the ton, and delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout.
Yukon gets about 35 inches of precipitation a year. That makes drainage planning a real consideration when you put down a sand layer for any project.
Not every sand works for every job. Each product has a specific use and a few things it should not be used for.
| Sand Product | Best For | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Do not use in play areas or sandboxes. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Avoid for fine leveling under pavers. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not suitable for mortar or concrete. |
Match the project type to the sand that handles the demands of that job. The table below shows what to order for five common uses.
| Project | What to Order | Depth or Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Follow the mortar mix specifications. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Contain within a border to keep it in place. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Use a consistent depth across the area. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Bedding for liner or vinyl pools. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Compact in lifts for stable support. |
Yukon has about 73 freezing days a year when temperatures drop below 32F. That freeze-thaw cycle pushes and pulls the ground, so a stable base matters more than in warmer spots. About 4 inches of snowfall a year means a plow can dig into an exposed sand surface if you do not plan for it.
Soils mapped in the Yukon area are commonly moderately well drained. The ground around Yukon is in hydrologic group D, which means it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. That makes proper drainage and a deeper base layer more important here than in areas with faster infiltration. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift.
To figure out the tonnage, measure the length, width, and desired depth of the area. Use our sand calculator to get a quick estimate for your specific project.
Order online by the ton. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code at checkout. A dump truck brings the load to your address, typically 1 to 40+ tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You choose a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You get an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery only goes ahead once you approve that second email. Someone must be at the site during the window.

Sand often pairs with other bulk materials on the same job. Consider these options.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. Gravel Monkey quotes a delivered price for your specific address. Canadian County permitted about 232 single-family homes in 2024, so many property owners in the area order sand for new construction and landscaping.
The tonnage depends on the area size and depth you need. Yukon has about 50 wet days a year where at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls, which can affect compaction timing. Use our sand calculator to estimate the tons required for your project.
Install a solid border or edging around the sand area. Materials like timber, metal edging, or concrete curbs keep sand contained. This prevents washout and keeps the surface neat.
Mason Sand is fine and screened for smooth joints. Washed Sand has slightly coarser grains and is clean for concrete. Playground Sand has a consistent grade that meets safety standards for play areas.
