Sand in Fort Worth, TX

We offer several common sand types in the Fort Worth market: - Fill sand - inexpensive, coarse sand for grading and filling low spots. - Concrete/masonry sand - washed sand with uniform gradation used in concrete mixes, mortar, and masonry. - Paver/setting sand - coarse, washed sand for bedding pavers and flagstone. - Play sand - clean, fine sand screened for playgrounds. - Utility/drainage sand - coarser, washed sand used for drainage layers and bedding pipes. Use depends on the project: paver bedding needs coarse, washed sand; concrete mix needs concrete sand; playgrounds should use play sand; drainage needs coarser washed sand; general fill can use fill sand.

Prices vary by sand type, supplier, and delivery distance. Typical Fort Worth estimates (for delivered material) are: - Fill sand: $20 - $40 per cubic yard (roughly $15 - $30 per ton) - Concrete/masonry sand: $30 - $60 per cubic yard (roughly $20 - $45 per ton) - Paver/setting sand: $35 - $70 per cubic yard (roughly $25 - $50 per ton) - Play sand: $40 - $80 per cubic yard (roughly $30 - $60 per ton) These are estimates only. Actual prices on Hello Gravel will show current local supplier rates, and 1 cubic yard of sand is approximately 1.3 tons (varies by moisture and gradation). Bulk discounts often start at 3-5 cubic yards and increase with truckload orders - check the product page for exact tiered pricing.

Typical delivery rules in Fort Worth: - Delivery zones: Fort Worth proper and most neighborhoods in the Fort Worth metro area. Some nearby suburbs may incur zone fees. - Minimum order: usually 1 cubic yard for bulk delivery. - Free delivery: may be offered above a minimum order value (for example, orders above a set dollar threshold or 2+ cubic yards) - Lead time: 1-5 business days is common; same-week or next-business-day options may be available for an upcharge. - Scheduled windows: drivers will usually confirm a 2-4 hour window the day of delivery. Always check the item page and your checkout for specific Fort Worth delivery rules, minimums, and lead times.

Common truck and offload options: - End-dump and side-dump tri-axle trucks for 5-15+ cubic yards - Belly-dump trucks for lighter offloads and street drop-offs - Small dump trucks (6-yard) for tight access - Transfer trucks for large orders - Hand-offload in small quantities (where available) Site-access notes for Fort Worth: - Provide 12-18 ft width for large trucks and 14-16 ft overhead clearance for booms or lifts. - Unpaved or soft driveways may rut - discuss lighter trucks or wood pads to protect surfaces. - Drivers cannot cross active sidewalks, private pools, or jump curbs without permission. - If delivery requires blocking a public street, a permit or temporary parking arrangement might be needed - check with Fort Worth transportation/permits or your HOA. Always tell us about low-hanging wires, gated entries, tight turns, and weight-restricted surfaces before delivery.

Use this simple method: 1) Measure the area in square feet. 2) Decide desired depth in inches. 3) Use the conversion: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. Example: 500 sq ft at 2 inches deep -> (500 * 2) / 324 = 3.09 cubic yards. Practical tips: - Round up and add 5-15% extra for waste and compaction (10% is a common rule). - For paver bedding (1 inch bedding), calculate the bedding volume separately from base material. - Remember 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet and roughly 1.3 tons depending on moisture and gradation.

Recommendations for Fort Worth conditions: - Paver bedding: use coarse, washed paver/setting sand (not play sand) for proper drainage and compaction. Keep bedding to about 3/4 to 1 inch. - Concrete mixes: use concrete/masonry sand for mixes; follow mix ratios for strength - usually 1 part cement : 2-3 parts sand : 3-4 parts aggregate. - Playgrounds: use certified play sand that is clean, rounded, and free of contaminants. Consider a depth of 6-12 inches over appropriate fall surfaces. - Drainage: use coarse, washed utility/drainage sand or sand-gravel blends to prevent clogging and encourage percolation. - Topdressing/lawn leveling: use screened topsoil or a blend of screened sand and organic material - pure sand can cause nutrient and moisture issues on heavy Texas clays unless blended. In Fort Worths clay soils and occasional heavy rains, always prioritize a stable compacted base and adequate slope/drainage.

Possibly. Typical considerations in Fort Worth: - City permits - usually not required for simple driveway deliveries, but if delivery blocks a public right-of-way or requires street closure, a permit or temporary parking authorization may be needed. - Utility/driveway protection - you are responsible for marking underground utilities; call 811 before digging. - HOA rules - many neighborhood HOAs have rules about visible material piles, delivery timing, or exterior work. Some HOAs require prior approval for landscaping changes. - Environmental rules - be mindful of local erosion and drainage ordinances; do not place material where it can wash into storm drains. Hello Gravel can help advise on likely permit needs and we recommend contacting your HOA and Fort Worth city offices when in doubt.

Site prep checklist: - Clear a 10-20 foot area for truck maneuvering and offload. - Mark the preferred drop location with flags or stakes and a tarp to protect surfaces. - Move vehicles, yard furniture, and obstacles out of the way. - Confirm gates are unlocked or provide a gate code/contact. - Call 811 to mark utilities before any grading or excavation. - Protect delicate surfaces (new asphalt, pavers, flowerbeds) with plywood or ground protection if heavy trucks will drive over them. - Ensure a responsible contact is on site during delivery to direct the driver.

Standard policies (confirm on your order): - Cancellation: cancel without a fee up to a specified cutoff (commonly 24-48 hours before scheduled delivery). - Rescheduling: usually allowed; short-notice reschedules may incur a fee. - Refunds: full refunds for cancellations within the allowed window; partial refunds may apply if suppliers have already loaded trucks. - Returns: bulk sand returns are rarely accepted once delivered or installed - product is typically sold as-is. If material is defective or not as ordered, Hello Gravel will coordinate with the supplier for remedy, replacement, or credit. Always check the specific terms on your Fort Worth order confirmation.

If a delivery attempt cannot be completed due to access, site obstruction, or incorrect address: - The driver will contact Hello Gravel and you to confirm next steps. - Re-delivery fees may apply to cover driver time and mileage. - If the issue was the supplier/driver fault, Hello Gravel will work to re-schedule at no charge. - If damage occurs on-site, document it with photos and notify us immediately so we can coordinate next steps with the supplier and your insurance if needed.

Compaction and installation basics: - Pavers: compact and stabilize the base (crushed stone) first, then spread 3/4 to 1 inch of paver sand as the bedding layer. Do not compact the bedding sand heavily - sweep and vibratory plate compact pavers after installation with a protective mat. - Concrete: follow mix design and compact subgrade. Use properly graded concrete sand in the mix. - Lawn/topdressing: lightly incorporate screened sand with topsoil and compact to avoid future settling - dont over-compact. - Drainage layers: maintain proper slope (1-2% minimum away from structures) and use coarse sand or sand-gravel blends for consistent percolation. For Fort Worths expansive clay soils, focus on a well-compacted base and geotextile fabric where needed.

Storage and protection tips: - Keep piles on a flat, stable surface away from storm drains. - Cover with a tarp to reduce erosion and prevent material from washing into gutters. - Place plywood or pallet under the pile to reduce staining and rutting a lawn. - Do not pile against structures where moisture could transfer. - If storing for more than a week in rainy season, consider temporary berms or silt fencing to control runoff.

Typical payment and account features: - Payment methods: major credit cards, debit cards, and sometimes ACH/wire for large orders. - Contractor accounts: approved commercial customers can set up invoicing, net terms (subject to credit approval), and multiple jobsite billing. - Recurring/standing orders: available for repeat projects or maintenance clients. - Purchase orders and custom invoicing: supported for many commercial accounts. For exact options and to apply for contractor billing in Fort Worth, contact our support or sign up for a business account through the Hello Gravel platform.

Yes - Fort Worth sees occasional heavy rain events, so be mindful of: - Preventing sand and sediment from entering storm drains - use silt socks, berms, or filter fabric for temporary work areas. - Avoid placing large piles on slopes where material can runoff. - Comply with any local erosion control requirements on construction projects. If your project is near a creek, floodplain, or sensitive area, check Fort Worth and Tarrant County regulations before work begins.
