Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Collierville address and unloads right where you point.
Sand is one of the most commonly used aggregates on any Collierville job site. Whether you are bedding pipe, mixing mortar, or building a paver base, the right grade delivered by the ton saves time and keeps the work on schedule.
Collierville gets about 57 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter for any sand application. Ordering the correct volume for your project avoids costly delays and extra trips to the supplier.
We carry three common grades of sand for residential and commercial work in Collierville. Each product has a specific job it does best, and choosing the wrong one can mean rework, poor performance, or a failed inspection. The table below lists what each grade is suited for and what it is not.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Fine, clean grains that compact well for tight joints and smooth beds. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove fines, making it suitable for concrete mixing and backfill. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Clean, screened sand free of sharp particles for safe play surfaces. |
The table below matches common Collierville project types to the right sand grade and a typical placement depth. These are field-tested pairings that save you from ordering the wrong material for the job.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 6 to 12 inches for safe landing depth |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 4 to 6 inches below the pipe |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Mix per spec, no larger than 1/8 inch |
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 to 1.5 inches after compacting |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches, tamped and screeded |
The delivery season in Collierville runs through about 78 wet days a year, where at least a tenth of an inch of rain falls. That means you need to schedule sand delivery onto firm ground, or the truck cannot get into position without rutting the site. Plan your order around dry stretches in the forecast.
Collierville gets about 57 inches of precipitation annually, more than most of the country. That volume drives the need for good drainage under any sand layer. About 68 days a year drop below 32F, which narrows the work window in winter and causes ground movement that can shift a loose base. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. If you are working in cold months, account for that seasonal movement in your base depth.
Soils mapped in the Collierville area are commonly moderately well drained. That generally means more or less base stone under the surface layer, depending on the exact location. The ground around Collierville is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. The consequence is that drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on whether your site has been improved or not.
Sand is sold by the ton, and the volume you need depends on the area and depth of your project. Use our sand calculator to convert your square footage and desired depth into the tonnage you need to order. Enter your project dimensions and the calculator gives you the weight for any of our three grades. That number is what you enter at checkout to get the delivered price for your Collierville address. Ordering the right amount means one delivery and no shortfalls.

Sand seldom works alone. Most jobs need a base layer or a complementary material underneath or around it. These materials are common pairings for sand projects in Collierville.
The delivered price depends on your ZIP code and the tonnage you order. You enter your address at checkout and see the total before you commit. Collierville gets about 2 inches of snow a year, and plowing damage to a loose surface is worth planning for if the job runs into winter.
The tonnage depends on the area and depth of your application. Use the sand calculator to convert your project dimensions into the weight you need. Ground freezing in Collierville is real but moderate, which affects how deep the base layer needs to be under the sand.
Mason Sand is the finest grade, with grains that pass through a tight screen for smooth mortar joints and paver beds. Washed Sand is coarser and cleaned of fines for concrete mixing and clean fill. Playground Sand is screened to remove sharp particles for safe play surfaces.
Mason Sand is the most commonly ordered grade for Collierville deliveries. It works for the widest range of jobs, from paver leveling courses to mortar mixing, and its fine grain compacts well under almost any surface.
Whether you are laying a paver patio or bedding pipe for a drainage job, the right sand grade makes the difference between a clean install and a call-back.
