Buy Sand in Rhode Island

The delivered price of sand depends on two things: how many tons you need and where the truck goes. Gravel Monkey delivers sand by the ton to any address in Rhode Island, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.

Whether you are filling a sandbox, bedding pipe, or mixing mortar, ordering by the ton means you only pay for what your project actually uses.

Rhode Island Conditions That Affect Your Sand Job

Rainfall across the Rhode Island cities we deliver to runs from about 49 to 52 inches a year. That much water means sand can wash out of shallow beds if it is not deep enough or properly contained. The state sees roughly 105 to 132 freezing days per year, and most of Rhode Island sits in the moderate band for ground freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Soils in the areas we serve are mostly hydrologic groups B and A. That generally means good drainage, but sand placed over these soils still needs a base depth that accounts for frost heave.

How Much Sand You Need for Your Rhode Island Project

Sand is sold by the ton, so you need to convert your project area and depth into weight. A cubic yard of dry sand weighs roughly 2,700 pounds. You can estimate your tonnage with our sand calculator, which accounts for the dimensions and depth of your bed.
