Concrete Sand

Concrete Sand

Concrete sand is a coarse, washed sand that serves as a critical ingredient in concrete mixes and a reliable base material for a wide range of construction projects. Hello Gravel offers concrete sand delivery by the ton, dropped off at your property by dump truck so you can get to work without delay.

Unlike finer sands, concrete sand has a gritty, angular texture that bonds well with cement and aggregate to produce strong, durable concrete. It meets the specifications contractors rely on for mixing slabs, footings, and foundations. But it's not just for concrete — its coarse grain also makes it an excellent choice for bedding beneath pavers, filling utility trenches, and providing drainage under slabs.

Common Uses for Concrete Sand

Concrete sand is the standard sand for mixing concrete for everything from shed foundations to sidewalk repairs. When installing pavers or flagstone, a layer of concrete sand provides a firm, level base that resists shifting over time. Plumbers and utility crews use it for pipe bedding because it drains well, settles evenly, and provides stable support around underground lines.

For homeowners tackling drainage projects, concrete sand's coarser particle size makes it a smart choice for any below-grade application where water management and sub-surface drainage matter.

DIY homeowners and professional contractors alike reach for concrete sand when they need a dependable, workable material that performs under load and holds its position.

Why Choose Hello Gravel for Concrete Sand Delivery?

Buying bags of sand at a retail store gets expensive fast — and you'll wear yourself out loading and unloading them. With Hello Gravel's concrete sand delivery, you order the exact tonnage you need online, and we deliver it in bulk by dump truck. It's faster, cheaper per ton, and a whole lot easier on your back.

How Much Concrete Sand Do You Need?

Not sure how much to order? A good rule of thumb is that one ton of material covers roughly 100 square feet at about 2 inches deep, though this varies by product density and the depth you need. Hello Gravel's team can help you calculate the right amount for your project — just reach out with your square footage and we'll give you a quick estimate. It's always better to order a little extra than to run short mid-project.

Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

We do not offer installation or spreading services as part of our material delivery.  However, depending on the location, site conditions, weather, and comfortability of the driver, we may be able to tailgate spread the material if the driver feels the location and conditions are suitable.

This involves slowly moving the truck forward while dumping the material to make it easier to distribute, but is not a guaranteed service.
