Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Murrells Inlet address and unloads right where you point.
The price you pay for sand comes down to two things: the type you need and how far the truck has to travel. Gravel Monkey handles the rest.
Murrells Inlet gets about 55 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you order sand for any outdoor project.
Not every sand works for every job. Pick the wrong one and you risk washout, poor compaction or a surface that does not hold. Here is how to choose.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Too fine for playgrounds; compacts well under pavers. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove silt; good for drainage layers. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Screened for safety; not for mortar or concrete. |
Your project type determines which sand you need. The table below lists common uses and the recommended product.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Fine texture helps achieve a smooth base. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Clean sand allows water to drain around pipes. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Consistent grain size for strong joints. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Free of sharp particles for safe play. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Drains well under a pool liner. |
Murrells Inlet sees about 75 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That means scheduling your delivery onto firm ground matters more than the date on the calendar.
Soils mapped in the Murrells Inlet area are commonly very poorly drained. Depending on whether your site has field drainage installed, the ground around here either soaks water up quickly or lets most rain run across the surface. That makes drainage and a deeper base under your sand more important here than elsewhere.
About 38 days a year drop below 32F, so the work window is wide but ground movement from freezing can affect a loose surface if you spread sand in cold weather. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.
Sand is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and depth of your project. To avoid ordering too little or paying for extra material, use the sand calculator to get a tonnage estimate based on your dimensions.
Gravel Monkey makes it simple. Choose your sand online, select your delivery date at checkout (at least 3 business days out), and a dump truck brings the load to your address. Delivery is priced by your ZIP code when you order, and loads range from 1 to over 40 tons. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.
You pick a morning or afternoon window, and you must be at the site or have someone there to accept the delivery. After you place the order, you get a confirmation email and later a second email with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. The delivery only goes ahead once you approve that email.

Sand often works with other bulk materials. Consider these options for the same project.
Delivery cost is calculated by your ZIP code at checkout. The price depends on how far the truck travels and the amount of sand you order. No other fees are added beyond the tonnage price and the delivery charge based on your location.
The tonnage depends on the square footage and the depth of the sand layer. Use the sand calculator to enter your dimensions and get an accurate tonnage estimate. That is the most reliable way to order the right amount.
Orders must be placed at least 3 business days before your desired delivery date. You choose the date at checkout, and the truck arrives in your selected window. This lead time ensures the local supplier can load your order and schedule the route.
No. You or someone you nominate must be at the site during the delivery window. The driver needs approval to drop the load. If no one is there, a missed-delivery fee can apply and the order is not refunded.
