Easiest way move a lot of sand with little money?
Question:
Answers:
Shovels, wheelbarrows, friends and beer.
Wheel barrow
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".
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.
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.
shovel, wheel barrow and a little help
Let my kids come over for the day. You will not have any left in a heap but all over the yard!
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.
