Mason Sand

About Mason Sand

Mason Sand is a sand material with a typical density of 2700 lbs per cubic yard. Clean, washed sand used for pipe bedding, paver leveling, masonry mortar, and playground surfaces; the grade you need depends on the application.

A typical residential order is 3-8 tons; full-load contractor orders run 16-24 tons. We deliver in tandem-axle dump trucks (10-16 ton capacity) or tri-axles (16-24 ton capacity). Pricing varies with regional quarry proximity, load size, and current diesel; full-load delivery typically saves 15-20% over partial loads.

Best uses for Mason Sand

Where we source Mason Sand

We source Mason Sand from local quarries within the delivery region, typically inside a 50-mile radius. Short hauls mean lower delivery cost for you and a smaller diesel footprint per ton.

Every load is weighed at the source and the ticket travels with the truck, so you get exact tonnage, not estimates. Quality varies by quarry; we work with operators whose product meets state DOT spec for the applications we recommend.

Why bulk delivery saves money

On a per-ton basis, retail bag pricing lands at about three times the bulk truck rate once you add up tax, the haul home in a passenger vehicle, and the bag waste. At our delivered range of $44 to $60 per ton, a 5 ton homeowner order saves hundreds versus the bagged equivalent at typical retail. A residential project usually runs 3 to 8 tons, which fits one tandem-axle truck and one drop. Contractors stepping up to 16 tons or more unlock our full-truck rate, which is generally 15 to 20 percent below the partial-load price. Bulk also wins on time: one delivery beats 20 trips to the rack, and the driver places the load where you want it instead of a parking-lot pallet.
