Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Oregon address and unloads right where you point.
Spring and summer push the bulk of sand orders in Oregon, but work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part. Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton to addresses across the state, letting contractors and homeowners order the right grade for the job.
From a paver base in Portland to a playground surface in Bend, matching the sand type to the application saves time and avoids rework. The page below covers the grades we carry, typical uses, and how to get a delivered price online.
Mason Sand is the most-ordered grade for its fine, uniform grain. The table below lists all three options and their main jobs.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, screened, no sharp edges. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Rinsed to remove fines and clay. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Soft, free of debris and large particles. |
Depth and material choice depend on the load the sand will carry. This guide matches five projects to the recommended product and depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 to 1.5 inches after tamping |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix per spec; sand must be dry |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches, compacted |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches for support |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 8 to 12 inches for cushioning |
Across the cities we deliver to in Oregon, annual precipitation runs from about 12 to 76 inches. The eastern side gets much less, so drainage is rarely the main concern there, while the west side needs sand that handles moisture without holding it. Freezing days range from about 22 to 168 days a year below 32F, but most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing, so frost heave is not a routine problem for sand installations.
The dominant hydrologic soil groups across served cities are C and B. Group C soils drain slowly, which means a thicker base layer of sand can help move water away from pavers or footings. Group B soils drain well, so the minimum depth usually works.
Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
