Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Beech Island address and unloads right where you point.
Sand is priced by the ton, and the number on your invoice depends mostly on two things: how far the supplier is from your ZIP code and how many tons you order. Gravel Monkey handles the sourcing and the truck so you only pick the type and the delivery day.
Beech Island gets about 47 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when spreading sand. A well-drained base keeps the sand where you put it and stops puddling.
The right sand depends on the job. Mason sand is too fine for structural fill, washed sand is too clean for play areas that need compaction, and playground sand is too soft for mortar. Each type has a specific use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Very fine grains that pack tight and create a smooth finish. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed clean of silt, ideal for mixing concrete or as a stable base. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Processed to be free of sharp edges and harmful debris for safe play. |
Sand handles a handful of common jobs around a property. The table below matches the project to the right material and a typical starting depth.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Use 1 to 2 inches for a firm, level bed under the liner. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Depth depends on pipe size; use our sand calculator to estimate. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Typically 1 inch after compaction for smooth paving surfaces. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | At least 6 inches for digging depth in play areas. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mixed with cement; depth varies by block size. |
Frost is not the constraint here, so the calendar is driven by rain and by how wet the ground is. Beech Island sees about 68 days each year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain, making it important to schedule the delivery onto firm ground. Wet soil can rut under a loaded dump truck, so pick a window with dry weather forecast.
About 51 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the working season for sand that needs to be compacted. Cold weather slows setting in mortar and concrete. Snowfall averages around 1 inch per year, which is light but can cause plowing damage to a loose sand surface if the driver runs a blade over it.
Soils mapped in the Beech Island area are commonly well drained, so less base stone is usually needed under the surface layer. The ground around Beech Island takes water in at a moderate rate (hydrologic group B), which means a standard base depth is usually enough to keep the sand stable in wet weather.
Sand is sold by the ton, and coverage depends on the area and the depth you want. One ton of sand typically covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but the exact figure changes with moisture and compaction.
