What it is
Fine, bright white sand, sold by the cubic yard. Our supplier screens it free of debris and describes its soft, fine texture as a fit for sandboxes and for areas around plants. It is the bulk option for a sandbox or play area, instead of hauling dozens of small bags.
What it is for
- Sandboxes and play areas.
- Decorative white sand areas in beds and around stepping stones.
- Filling gaps between stones where you want a bright joint color.
For mortar and masonry work, use Masonry Sand. Under pavers, use Paver Leveling Sand. For lawn top-dressing, use USGA Sand.
How much to order
Cubic yards = length (ft) × width (ft) × depth (in) ÷ 324.
| Sandbox | Depth | Yards |
|---|---|---|
| 4 × 4 ft | 12 in | 0.6 |
| 6 × 6 ft | 12 in | 1.3 |
| 8 × 8 ft | 12 in | 2.4 |
| 10 × 10 ft play area | 6 in | 1.9 |
The calculators do this math for you.
Tips
- Put landscape fabric under the sand so it does not mix into the dirt below.
- Cover a sandbox when not in use to keep out leaves and animals.
