River Sand

4.91,500+ 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.

I was researching options for my chicken run and decided on construction sand. I put in to get a quote w Hello Gravel and they quickly sent me a text message and answered all my questions and gave me a quote. I needed time to think and they had great follow up and asked if I had any other questions. I ended up placing order and then I had Helen reach out via text and help me from that point to delivery. Keeping me informed along the way and I must say the texting communication was on point. Friendly, professional, and delivery was great and my driver was top notch. He got my sand dropped off exactly where I wanted where other drivers had said they can’t drop it. I highly recommend and will definitely be going back for any future sand or gravel needs.

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 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.
