Why Playground Sand works here
Local conditions.
Orleans Parish's year-round outdoor play season means playground surfaces get heavy use. Quality playground sand maintains its soft, cushioning properties through rain, sun, and constant foot traffic. Unlike local beach sand or construction sand, playground sand is specifically processed to remove shells, debris, and sharp particles that could cause injuries.
- Construction or fill applications (overprocessed)
- Paver leveling (use mason sand)
- Drainage projects
- Mortar mixing
Built for New Orleans
New Orleans' humidity and frequent rain mean playground surfaces must drain well while staying clean. Our playground sand is washed to remove clay, silt, and organic material that can harbor bacteria or mold. The fine, rounded grains are gentle on children's skin and won't pack into hard, uncomfortable surfaces during our humid months.
- Residential sandboxes
- Commercial playground surfaces
- Under swing sets and play equipment
- Beach-style volleyball areas
- Splash pads and water features
- Sensory play environments

Questions about this material
Questions about Playground Sand.
For a standard 6-inch depth: 4×4 ft sandbox needs ~0.3 yards, 6×6 ft needs ~0.7 yards, 8×8 ft needs ~1.2 yards. Use our calculator for custom sizes.
Yes! Our playground sand is washed and screened to remove debris, clay, and contaminants. It meets safety standards for children's play environments. Always supervise young children.
With proper maintenance (raking, covering, occasional refreshing), playground sand can last 2-3 years. Replace sooner if it becomes heavily contaminated or compacted.
While safe, playground sand is overprocessed for construction use. Mason sand is more economical and performs better for paver leveling.
Use a cover when not in use, rake weekly to aerate, and remove debris promptly. Our climate's humidity makes covers essential to prevent mold growth.
