I've had a project that needed a sand base. I found hello gravel with chat gpt. They were amazing. From the easy online order, the follow up calls with Carlos and the amazing delivery with Sam. Product is amazing and I'll be sure to post the finished product. Will definitely use again.

My entire experience with Hello Gravel was exceptional. Immediately after ordering sand, I was contacted by Tereza to confirm the order and make sure I understood the delivery process. Tereza was very thorough, professional, kind and friendly. I ordered sand on Friday and it was delivered on Monday. Domingo, the delivery driver was professional and courteous also. The sand is perfect for my backyard “beach/playground” area.

I needed sand quickly to amend the area around my newly purchased barn/property. Hello Gravel coordinated securing the materials and had to trouble shoot when the scheduled delivery cancelled. They also resolved over payment related to their online system malfunctioning quickly and were easy to work with and responsive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. One ton covers about 125 square feet at 2 inches deep. A 30 by 60 foot volleyball area at 12 inches deep takes roughly 85 to 90 tons.

Backyard courts usually run about 12 inches of sand, and serious players go deeper. Put landscape fabric and a layer of drainage gravel underneath so the court dries fast after rain.

Both are clean and soft. Playground sand is made for sandboxes and play areas. Beach sand is chosen for its bright color, so it's the pick when looks matter, like a backyard beach or court.

Dirt, leaves, and soil from the edges dull it over time. Edging, fabric underneath, and regular raking keep it clean. Top it up with a thin fresh layer when it looks tired.

It's not the best choice. Coarser sand packs and holds better under pavers. Use paver base sand or concrete sand there, and save beach sand for areas you see and walk on.

By dump truck, straight to your property. The driver dumps it in one pile where you choose. Pick a firm, level spot the truck can reach, clear of cars and overhead wires. Delivery is included in the price you see.
