easiest way move a lot of sand with little money?

Answer 1

Shovels, wheelbarrows, friends and beer.

Answer 2

You truly should have added details IE: How far. How Much, etc.

Obviously the answers so far are valid but might not be at all what you're asking.

Certainly the other part of your Q would be a moot point if you're talking about the load dumped in your drive that you need in the back yard. That could be as easy as a party, some shovels, and wheelbarrows.

If it means going to a YARD where sand is sold, then you might consider cleaning out the trunk of your car, getting a decent blue tarp, and fill the trunk with sand to be shoveled out at a job site.

If you have an SUV or pickup, use 32 gallon trash cans and fill them to be dumped, etc. at a job site.

Answer 3

If you need heavy equipment to do it, I just rented a 'bobcat', front end skid loader for a 2 hr. minimum of $30/hr.
It was worth it.
Almost any town large enough to be anything has a rental store that has bobcat skid loaders.

You can get a dirt contractor, or a contractor that has the equipment, to come in a move, or remove your sand.
Maybe $60 an hour. Probably two hour minimum.

Answer 4

2 10 quart buckets, and a comfortable pair of shoes. Carry a bucket in each hand. After several hrs you may wish to only fill the buckets part way full.

Answer 5

If you don't want to use the manual labor option then some rental yards offer a small, personal front end loader that will do the job. Toro makes one called "Dingo".

Answer 6

Wheel barrow

Answer 7

Let my kids come over for the day. You will not have any left in a heap but all over the yard!

Answer 8

shovel, wheel barrow and a little help
