Sand Supplies Perth

The right sand for the job you are doing.

We stock brickies sand, plasterers sand, lawn sand, white washed sand and Gingin quartz. Sand is one of those products where the wrong one genuinely does not work, a plastering sand will not lay bricks and a coarse river sand will not finish a wall. Tell us the job and we will point you at the right pile.

Sold loose by the cubic metre, in bulka bags, or by the trailer load. Collect it seven days a week or have it delivered across Perth's southern suburbs.

How much sand do you need?

Work it out before you drive down

Length by width by depth gives you cubic metres. Work it out before you come down and you will not be back tomorrow for a second load.

It is an estimate. Uneven ground and how firmly it settles both change what you actually use, so round up rather than down.

Shape of area
Length · 4mWidth · 1.2m
You need0.4 m³

That is about half a trailer load. Order a touch over rather than under, a second trip costs more than the extra scoop.

We load by the scoop: one scoop is about 0.33 m³, three make a cubic metre, and a scoop and a half is 0.5 m³.

How to choose a sand

Four things that actually decide it

  • What you are building

    This is the whole decision with sand. Masonry, rendering, lawns and sandpits each want a different grain and a different level of washing, and substituting one for another is the most common reason a job does not go right.

  • Whether it is going somewhere clean

    Anything going into a sandpit, a playground or the joints between pavers wants washed sand. That is what the triple washing is for, it takes the fines and staining out.

  • Coarse or fine

    Coarse sands give strength and stability, which is what you want under kerbing and hard landscaping. Fine sands give a smooth finish, which is what you want on a wall. Neither works well doing the other's job.

  • How you are getting it home

    Sand is heavy for its volume, so a trailer fills up faster than people expect. Work out the cubic metres first and check the load against what your trailer is rated for, the yard will tell you if it looks marginal.

Sand FAQs

What we get asked at the counter

  • What is the difference between brickies sand and plasterers sand?

    Brickies Sand is finely textured with strong binding properties, made for mortar that has to hold bricks and blocks together. Plasterers Sand is ultra-smooth, made for a fine consistent finish on a wall. They are not interchangeable, mortar made with plastering sand will not perform, and rendering with brickies sand shows in the finish.

  • Which sand is safe for a child's sandpit?

    White Washed Sand. It is triple washed, which takes out the fines and staining, and it is the one we sell for sandpits and school playgrounds. It is also the sand for filling the joints between pavers.

  • What sand do I use for topdressing a lawn?

    Lawn Sand. It is made for levelling uneven ground and reviving tired lawns, and it works into the surface rather than sitting on top of the grass.

  • How much sand do I need?

    Multiply length by width by depth, all in metres, and the answer is cubic metres. The calculator on this page does it for you. Bring the number to the counter and we will tell you whether it is a trailer load, a bulka bag or a delivery.

  • Can I collect sand myself?

    Yes, seven days. The loader puts it straight into your trailer or ute. Sand is heavy for its volume, so mention what you are towing with, someone will tell you if the load you are asking for is more than your trailer should carry.

  • Can sand be delivered?

    Yes, across Perth's southern suburbs, seven days. We need the address, the quantity and anything awkward about access. Confirm the current delivery cost when you order, as it varies with distance and quantity.

  • Is sand available in bulka bags?

    Yes, roughly a cubic metre each. You will need a crane, Hiab or forklift at your end to lift one off the truck. If you cannot unload it, a tipper delivery is the simpler option.
