Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Newport address and unloads right where you point.
Sand projects vary from a few tons for a paver patio to a larger load for a play area. Getting the right amount starts with a good estimate. Newport gets about 72 inches of precipitation a year, so the sand you choose for drainage applications needs to handle that moisture.
Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton right to your address. Use our sand calculator to find the quantity you need, then order online and pick a delivery window.
Each sand product is sized and washed for a specific job. Review the list and choose the one that matches your project.

Each job needs a specific sand type and depth. Use this table to match the material to the task.

Newport experiences about 13 freezing days a year. When the ground freezes and thaws, an unsettled sand base can shift and cause surface cracking. That is why compaction matters for any sand layer that supports a structure.
With roughly 123 wet days a year, scheduling delivery onto firm ground helps keep the truck from rutting your yard. The ground also absorbs a lot of moisture, so sand used for drainage or as a base needs to be thick enough to stay stable. Frost penetrates the ground here, and a deeper base layer reduces frost heave. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.
About 1 inch of snowfall a year is light, but plowing can disturb a loose sand surface. Consider a compacted top layer in areas that see plow traffic.
Figuring out the right tonnage starts with the area and the intended depth. Use our sand calculator to get a quick estimate based on your square footage and desired thickness. The calculator tells you how many tons to order.
Ordering is straightforward. Pick the sand product and quantity, enter your shipping ZIP to see the delivered price, and choose a delivery window. Lead time is at least three business days. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
Your delivery window can be morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). You must provide a valid phone number. After ordering, you receive an email confirmation, then a second email close to delivery with the scheduled window and a photo of the load. Delivery only proceeds after you approve that email.
Someone must be at the site during the window. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet. If access is restricted, the crew dumps as close as safely possible. Read more on our Delivery Information page. See About Gravel Monkey and Customer reviews for more details.
Many projects use sand alongside other bulk materials. Here are common companion products and why they work together.
Yes. With about 72 inches of precipitation a year, the ground stays moist for long periods. Sand with good drainage properties, like washed sand, helps move water away from structures and reduces pooling.
Yes. Newport sees about 13 freezing days a year, which is enough for freeze-thaw cycles to shift an unstable base. A well-compacted sand layer resists movement better than a loose one, so choose sand that compacts well and plan extra compaction passes.
The delivery truck needs a road or driveway at least 12 feet wide. If your access is tighter, the driver will dump as close to the spot as possible. It is your responsibility to make sure the surface can handle a heavy truck.
Yes. Gravel Monkey serves homeowners and commercial customers. The same ordering process applies: choose the product, enter the delivery ZIP, and set a window. Large orders over 40 tons may require a conversation about access and timing.
