Sand ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Savannah address and unloads right where you point.
The delivered price of sand depends on the material itself and how far it travels from the source to your site. What you pay reflects the tonnage you need and the delivery window you pick at checkout.
Savannah gets about 59 inches of precipitation a year, so drainage and washout planning matter when you choose sand for a project. The right grade and particle shape help water pass through rather than pond on top.
Not every sand works for every job. Mason Sand is too fine for structural fill. Washed Sand lacks the fines needed for a compacted base under pavers. Playground Sand is not washed and can contain dust that clouds water or clogs joints.
| Product | What it is for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mason Sand | Mortar, paver joints, fine leveling | Best for finish work; not for drainage layers. |
| Washed Sand | Concrete work and clean fill | Free of silt; good for concrete mix and pipe bedding. |
| Playground Sand | Play areas and sandboxes | Not washed; may contain dust. |
The table below matches typical Savannah projects to the sand product that fits each task.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Paver leveling course | Mason Sand | Use for leveling; avoid for structural fill. |
| Mortar and masonry | Mason Sand | Ideal for joints and mortar mix. |
| Pool base | Washed Sand | Provides a smooth, clean base. |
| Sandbox or play area | Playground Sand | Fill to desired depth; not for construction. |
| Pipe bedding | Washed Sand | Surround pipes with free-draining material. |
Savannah sits in Hardin County, where about 83 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means you should schedule delivery onto firm ground to avoid rutting and compaction problems.
The county also sees about 82 days each year when the temperature drops below 32F. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer depth matters for stability.
Soils mapped in the Savannah area are commonly in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where the ground is drained, it takes water in slowly and sheds some across the surface. Where it is not drained, water pools and runs off. That makes drainage and a deeper base more important here than in better-drained areas.
Sand is sold by the ton, and the amount you need depends on the area you are covering and the depth you want. Depth varies by job, so use our sand calculator to estimate your tonnage before you order.

Choose a delivery window: morning (7 am to 12 pm) or afternoon (12 pm to 5 pm). You need to provide a valid phone number for confirmation and be present or have someone at the site during the window. You get an email confirmation when you order, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. The site needs a road width of at least 12 feet for the truck.

Sand often needs a base layer or a companion material to complete the job. These materials pair well with sand for projects in Savannah.
Yes. Soils mapped in the Savannah area are commonly somewhat poorly drained, so water moves through the ground slowly. That makes the particle shape and gradation of your sand important for letting water pass and avoiding ponding.
Yes. The county sees about 82 freezing days a year, and ground freezing here is real but moderate. That means the base depth beneath your sand surface may need to be deeper to handle frost heave and settling over the winter.
The price is calculated by ZIP code at checkout based on the distance from the nearest supply source in our network. You see the total before you confirm the order, so there are no surprises.
Sand is classified by particle size and whether it has been washed. Mason Sand is fine and screened for smooth joints. Washed Sand is coarser and free of silt. Playground Sand is not washed and may contain fine dust.
