About Playground Sand
Playground Sand is a sand material with a density around 2600 lbs per cubic yard. The color runs white / tan. Clean, washed sand used for pipe bedding, paver leveling, masonry mortar, and playground surfaces. The grade you need depends on the application; we stock multiple grades.
Bulk orders are sold by the ton, with full-truck deliveries (16 or more tons) saving 15 to 20 percent off partial-load rates. Tandem-axle trucks haul 10 to 16 tons per load and fit residential streets; tri-axle trucks haul 16 to 24 tons and work better for contractor pours and commercial sites. We deliver same-day in most metros for orders placed before 11 AM, with a two-hour arrival window confirmed the evening before.
Pricing depends on quarry proximity, truckload size, the current diesel rate, and seasonal demand. The cheapest path is always a full truck dropped at a single address. If your project needs more than one load, splitting deliveries across two days costs less than two separate partial loads on the same day. Send your ZIP and dimensions through the contact form for a same-hour quote that includes the delivered total and the lead time on the lane.
After delivery, plan a few hours on the day of the drop to spread or stage the material. A wheelbarrow moves about 2 cubic feet at a time, which makes longer driveways or larger beds a multi-day job by hand. A skid-steer covers ten times that pace and rents for around $200 per day in most markets, often with same-day pickup. If you cannot start work right away, tarping the pile keeps the playground sand dry and intact for up to a week without losing weight or color.
What Playground Sand costs in El Paso
In the El Paso market, playground sand is sold by the ton and priced at the gate before delivery is added on. Send your ZIP and load size and we will send back a same-hour quote with the truck rate and the per-ton figure spelled out. One ton covers about 83 sq ft at a 3 inch finished depth, so a 400 sq ft driveway pad runs roughly 5 tons.

Delivery day in El Paso
On the day of the drop, the dispatcher pulls the closest yard, batches your ticket with other El Paso stops, and sends a window the night before. Tandem-axle dumps need at least 12 ft of clear width and 14 ft overhead to set the bed; tri-axles need 14 ft of clearance on both counts and a level pad to tip safely. Standard lead time on this lane is Mon-Sat, with same-day windows held open for orders that hit the desk before 11 AM and clear payment.
