BRICK, BLOCK & PLAY AREAS
Masonry sand. Fine, washed, and soft enough for sandboxes, playgrounds, and pool bases, and the sand mortar is mixed from.
A full truckload of sand from $480 delivered in Tulsa County, all-in. Three sands, three different jobs. Pick the right one below, and if you are not sure, tell us the project instead: ordering the wrong sand costs you a whole load.
Sand types are not interchangeable. This is the most common mix-up we get called about.
Masonry sand. Fine, washed, and soft enough for sandboxes, playgrounds, and pool bases, and the sand mortar is mixed from.
Manufactured sand. Coarser and angular, so it locks in place: the bedding layer under pavers and flagstone, granular backfill around pipe and foundations, and mixing concrete.
Fill sand. General-purpose sand for backfilling, raising low spots, and bedding utility trenches where the spec just says sand.
Tell us what you are building rather than guessing at a name. Call or text (918) 703-9717 and we will spec it with you.
Crushed from rock rather than dredged from a river, so the grains are sharp and angular. It compacts tight and stays put, which is exactly what you want under things.
Use it for: bedding under pavers and flagstone, granular backfill around foundations and pipe, mixing concrete, utility work.
One load (about 14 to 16 tons) delivered: $480
Fine, washed, and uniform. Soft enough for bare feet, clean enough for mortar. If a kid or a pool liner will touch it, this is the sand.
Use it for: mortar for brick and block, sandboxes and playgrounds, pool bases, volleyball courts, beach areas.
One load delivered: $550
General-purpose sand, unwashed and ungraded. It does the quiet work: filling, leveling, and bedding where nothing above it cares what the grains look like.
Use it for: backfilling, raising low ground, bedding pipe and utility trenches.

Masonry sand is fine and washed: mortar, brick and block work, playgrounds, sandboxes, and pool bases. Manufactured sand is coarser and angular: bedding under pavers, granular backfill, and concrete work. Fill sand is for raising ground and backfilling. The types are not interchangeable, so tell us the project if you are unsure. Ordering the wrong sand costs you a whole load.
By a wide margin, per ton. A truckload is 14 to 16 tons of loose sand delivered in one trip. Getting that much sand in bags means hundreds of bags at several dollars each, plus the hauling. If the job needs more than a pickup bed of sand, bulk delivery is the cheaper way.
A full load is roughly 10 cubic yards, which covers about 800 to 1,000 square feet at 3 inches deep. For a sandbox or play area you likely need far less than a full load; call us and we will figure the right amount. The calculator on this page does the math from your measurements.
