Buy Sand in Puerto Rico

A contractor ordering sand for a concrete crew buys in bulk and knows the grade. A homeowner adding a play area or a paver path needs just a few tons and wants the right material for the job. Gravel Monkey delivers sand throughout Puerto Rico by the ton, so both approaches work from the same product list.

Sand is measured by the cubic yard, but we sell it by weight. The delivered price for your address shows up at checkout.

Conditions that affect sand use in Puerto Rico

Across the cities we deliver to in Puerto Rico, annual precipitation runs from about 55 to 89 inches. That volume of rain washes fines out of playground sand and can soften a washed-sand base unless it drains well. The soil in most served areas falls into hydrologic groups D and B, which means slow to moderate drainage. To keep a thin sand layer stable, plan a base depth of at least 4 inches of compacted sand for paths and play areas. Freezing days are effectively zero everywhere in Puerto Rico, so you never need to account for frost heave in base design. Plan the delivery around dry ground: a truck needs a firm surface to reach the drop point.
