How Paradise Weather and Soil Affect Sand Choice
Ground freezing is not a significant factor in Paradise, so the base layer for sand does not need extra depth for frost protection. You can use typical thicknesses for patios, walkways, and play areas without worrying about frost heave.
The ground around Paradise is in hydrologic group C, which means it takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. Because of this, a deeper drainage layer under any sand surface earns its place. Without a hard freeze to lift the surface, drainage and washout are what decide how long the material lasts.
