River Sand

4.91,755 verified Hello Gravel reviews

Naturally washed river sand with a fine, consistent grain. Ideal for masonry projects, sand beds, and as a base material for pavers and artificial turf installations.

Rounded, water-worn sand dug from riverbeds, good for paver bases and landscape fill, not the sharp angular grain you'd want in structural concrete.

Also called: brown sand, bank sand, river run sand, washed river sand, natural sand.

They were quick to reach out to me and fixed a typo of what I was looking for soil wise for my Raised Garden bed. But shout out to Hello Gravel for being quick to reply!

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 our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.
We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.
Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.
The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.
Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.
Mason sand is fine and washed — ideal for pavers and masonry. River sand is naturally smooth — great for concrete and turf. Fill sand is utility-grade for backfilling. Concrete sand is coarse and ASTM-rated for structural concrete.
Mason sand and white mason sand are the best choices for sandboxes — they're washed, fine-grained, and clean. Fill sand and concrete sand are coarser and better suited for construction applications.
