River Sand
Clean, washed river sand — screened for pool bases, pipe bedding, and safe play areas.
About This Material
Our river sand is dredged from Louisiana river beds, washed, and screened to remove silt and organics. The rounded grain shape packs evenly without cutting liners or PVC — that's why pool installers and plumbers keep it on repeat order. It also drains well, so it stays workable even when the site is wet.
Sold by the cubic yard and delivered on our quad-axle dump trucks. Two-yard minimum. Same-day delivery on orders placed before 10 AM.
Why Choose River Sand?
Choose river sand when you need a clean, consistent material that drains well and levels easily without turning to mud. Its natural composition makes it safe for play areas and ideal for projects requiring a smooth, workable surface.

Common questions about river sand
Still not sure? Call dispatch at 888-606-2446 or start an order and we'll confirm before we roll a truck.
- How much river sand do I need?
- 1 yd³ covers ~100 sq ft at 3 in deep. Use the calculator on the order page to size the load — most homeowner jobs land at 2 – 6 yards.
- When can I get it delivered?
- Order before 10 AM weekdays and we drop it the same day. Saturday windows fill fast — book Friday if you can.
- What's the minimum order?
- Two cubic yards. Smaller loads aren't worth the truck roll for either of us.
- Are there fuel or dump fees?
- No. The delivered price you see already includes routing, fuel, and any tolls. No add-ons at the door.
- Can the driver dump inside my gate?
- Most quad-axle trucks need 12+ feet of overhead clearance and firm ground. Tell us at checkout and we'll route accordingly.
