Foley's Climate and Soil: What It Means for Your Sand Project

With about 68 inches of precipitation a year, drainage planning is important. About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so scheduling the delivery onto firm ground helps avoid delays. Work can run most of the year in this climate, which makes scheduling the delivery the easy part.

Freezing temperatures occur about 25 days a year below 32F. That affects the work window and how much the ground moves, but ground freezing here is not a significant factor. As a result, you do not need as deep a base layer as in colder areas.

Soils mapped in the Foley area are commonly poorly drained. The ground around Foley is in dual hydrologic group C/D. Where it is drained it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface; where it is not, it takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This means drainage and a deeper base matter more here than elsewhere, depending on your specific site.

Estimating Your Sand Tonnage

To figure out how many tons of sand you need, measure the length and width of the area and decide on the depth. Enter those numbers into our sand calculator to get an estimate in tons. That tool accounts for compaction and different sand types.

Is Foley wet enough that drainage should drive the choice?

Does the length of the freeze season in Foley change what I should order?

About 25 days a year drop below 32F, but ground freezing is not significant here. You do not need to adjust the sand depth for freeze-thaw cycles compared to colder areas.

What is the difference between the sizes you stock?

Mason Sand is fine and screened for smooth joints and leveling. Washed Sand is clean and versatile for concrete. Playground Sand has rounded grains and low dust for safety.
