Soft, clean sand for beaches, courts, and sandboxes

Beach sand is clean sand with a light color and a soft feel underfoot. It's the sand people picture for backyard beaches, volleyball courts, and fire pit lounges. It also works anywhere you want a light, clean finish. Grain size and exact shade vary by location.

Beach sand is soft, clean, light-colored sand for backyard beaches and volleyball courts, not coarse gray sand made for concrete.

Also called: white sand, volleyball sand, decorative sand.

Hello Gravel cared more about the structural integrity of my house than they did about making the sale. I was trying to place an order to buy dirt to place between a retaining wall and footings at the base of columns that hold up my house. They could have just sold me anything for profit, but they told me to go get the advice of a structural engineer, knowing that the structural engineer would probably order the dirt himself and possibly from another company. That’s integrity.

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.
