Enter your area and depth to find tons of sand needed for a paver joint base, leveling layer, play area, or sandbox.
Estimate only — sand density varies by type (play sand, paver sand, mason sand).
We convert your area and depth into cubic yards, then multiply by sand's typical density of about 1.35 tons per cubic yard. This works for paver joint sand, a bedding layer under pavers or artificial turf, or a sandbox and play area fill.
1 in of leveling/bedding sand is typical directly under pavers, on top of a compacted gravel base — check the paver calculator for the gravel base layer.
A typical play depth is 6-12 in — enter your sandbox's length, width, and target depth above for an exact ton figure.
