Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your South Carolina address and unloads right where you point.
Many buyers choose sand by price alone, only to find the wrong grain size for their job. The correction is to match the sand to the project before ordering. Gravel Monkey delivers sand across South Carolina by the ton, so you can pick the right type for your work.
Whether you need a fine finish for paver joints or a clean aggregate for concrete, getting the right sand starts with knowing what each product does.
For finish work like paver joints and leveling, choose a fine sand. For structural uses like concrete or clean fill, opt for a washed product. Here are the sand types we deliver in South Carolina.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Screened fine for a smooth finish and easy troweling. |
| Washed Sand | concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove fines, giving consistent compaction. |
| Playground Sand | play areas and sandboxes | Clean and free of sharp edges, safe for kids. |
Each project needs a specific sand type. The table below matches the job to the product and gives a note on use.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Fine grains bind well in mortar mix. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Washed and screened, no dust. |
| Swimming pool base | Washed Sand | Clean sand compacts without shifting. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Uniform size supports pipe evenly. |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Thin layer for smooth paver setting. |
Across the cities we deliver to in South Carolina, annual precipitation runs from about 46 to 55 inches. The number of days below 32F ranges from about 22 to 65 a year, depending on where in the state. Most of the state sits in the negligible band for ground freezing. Because of that, the hydrologic groups B and B/D dominate the served areas. This means your base depth should account for drainage rather than frost heave. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
In wetter parts of the state, a washed sand can help water move through the base. In areas that see more freeze-thaw cycles, a well-draining sand under pavers or slabs reduces shifting.
