Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Reedsport address and unloads right where you point.
Rain drives the schedule in Reedsport. With about 68 inches of precipitation a year, the ground stays wet for months, so plan your sand deliveries for the drier part of the season. The calendar here is shaped by how wet the ground is, not by frost.
When you order sand from Gravel Monkey, you get a delivered price by the ton before you commit. The truck shows up on your chosen morning or afternoon window, and you approve the load before it leaves the yard. That makes it straightforward to spec the right material for the job.
Mason Sand is the most common choice for construction work in the area. It works for mortar, paver joints and fine leveling. The other two options cover specific needs.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Clean, screened and free of large particles. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove silt, good for structural mixes. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Soft, washed and free of sharp edges. |
The table below matches common jobs to the right sand and typical depth. Use it as a starting point then check the load against your plans.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix 1 part cement to 3 parts sand by volume. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 6 to 12 inches after tamping. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch compacted under pavers. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches under and around pipe. |
| Pool base | Mason Sand | 2 to 3 inches after leveling. |
Douglas County saw about 166 single-family building permits in 2024, so new construction and site work stay steady. On those lots and on rural lanes, the ground around Reedsport is mapped as very poorly drained in many areas. That means you may need more base stone under the sand layer to keep it stable through the wet months.
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. About 109 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, and those wet days can close a delivery window if the site turns into mud. Schedule deliveries onto firm ground and give yourself a buffer after a heavy rain.
Around 23 days a year drop below 32F, so the work window is long, but the freeze-thaw cycles can move the ground enough to unsettle a loose surface. Because the ground here is in dual hydrologic group C/D, drainage planning matters more. Where the site is drained, water soaks in slowly and runs off across the surface; where it is not drained, most rain runs across the top. A deeper base layer helps in either case.
Use our sand calculator to convert your project area and desired depth into tons. Enter the length and width in feet, choose the depth in inches, and the calculator gives a weight estimate. Order by the full ton, and the delivered price appears at checkout based on your ZIP code.

Delivery happens on the day you choose, and it must be at least 3 business days after you order. You select a morning window (7 to 12) or an afternoon window (12 to 5). A valid phone number is required, and you get an email with the scheduled window and a photo of the load before the truck leaves. You approve that second email, and someone must be at the site during the window. If access is blocked or nobody is there, a redelivery fee can apply. Inspect the load within 48 hours and photograph any issues. Learn more on the delivery information page, see customer reviews, and read about Gravel Monkey.
Sand is often one part of a larger job. These materials are commonly ordered in the same trip.
Not significantly. Only about 23 days a year drop below 32F, and ground freezing is not a factor here. You do not need a deeper base for frost protection. The bigger concern is drainage and keeping the sand dry enough to compact.
Yes. With about 68 inches of precipitation a year and soils that are commonly very poorly drained, drainage is the main driver. The hydrologic group is C/D, meaning water moves slowly through the ground. Unless the site has good drainage, plan for extra base stone and a slight crown to shed water off the sand surface.
Order at least 3 business days ahead, because that is the minimum lead time. Choose a dry stretch if possible, and allow a few extra days if heavy rain is in the forecast. The delivery window is held once you approve the confirmation email.
No. Someone must be present during the delivery window to direct the driver and accept the load. If no one is there, the delivery cannot be completed and a redelivery fee can apply. You can nominate a neighbor or a crew member to be on site.
