Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your New Market address and unloads right where you point.
When you order sand from Gravel Monkey, a dump truck brings a single drop to your address. You mark the spot, and the driver places the load exactly there. That makes the whole process simple once you know how much you need.
New Market gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose your sand and prepare the site. The right product handles water without shifting.
Sand splits into two groups: base materials that level and support, and finish materials that stay clean and dry. Gravel Monkey offers three types that cover both roles. Each is delivered by the ton and sized for a specific use.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Screened fine and free of large stones; compacts well under pavers. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Washed to remove silt; gives predictable results in concrete mixes. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Cleaned and screened for safety; no sharp edges or debris. |
The table below shows the budget option (good for temporary or shallow work) and the long-term option (better for permanent structures). Your choice depends on whether the base will stay undisturbed for years or only a season.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | 1 inch after tamping; fine grains lock pavers in place. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Clean, well-graded sand for strong mortar joints. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | 2 to 3 inches; washed sand drains and resists compaction under the liner. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | 6 to 8 inches; provides uniform support and drainage around utility lines. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | 12 to 18 inches; depth depends on the area and intended use. |
Winters here drop below 32F about 85 days a year. That freeze-thaw cycle moves an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. If you skip compacting a loose sand layer, frost heave can create uneven surfaces by spring.
About 86 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling your delivery onto firm ground prevents the truck from sinking or rutting the site. Snowfall adds only about 4 inches a year, but plowing that snow can scrape a loose surface if the sand has not been compacted.
Soils mapped in the New Market area are commonly well drained, which means less base stone is needed under the surface layer. The ground around New Market takes water in at a moderate rate, so standard base depth is usually enough for most sand projects.
Sand is sold by the ton, and the amount depends on the area and depth of your project. Use our sand calculator to enter your measurements and get the tonnage estimate. No need to guess; the calculator does the math for you.

Sand often works with another material on the same property. These products pair well with sand:
Yes. New Market has about 85 freezing days a year, which means the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly. That cycle can unsettle a sand base that is not compacted. For permanent structures like patios or driveways, consider ordering washed sand or mason sand and compacting it thoroughly. A well-compacted base resists frost heave better than loose fill.
Yes. New Market gets about 48 inches of precipitation a year, and the ground here takes water in at a moderate rate. For projects that need to stay dry, like a play area or a pool base, washed sand is the better choice because it drains well. Mason sand works for leveling but holds more moisture if not topped with a permeable surface.
Yes, we deliver to rural addresses in Jefferson County and surrounding areas. The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to access the site. If access is restricted, the crew unloads as close to the requested spot as they safely can. Enter your address at checkout to confirm coverage.
Yes, a contractor can place an order for a customer. The contractor has to provide a valid phone number and be present during the delivery window or nominate someone on site. The confirmation process is the same as for individual buyers. You approve the final email with the scheduled window before delivery goes ahead.
